Enhanced Global Illumination and Lighting

Enhanced Lighting Mod – Custom Tweaks

Hey! Check out Dynamic Fog - Weather - Lighting! It's compatible.

A huge thanks to nimbuI for creating the essential tools and developing this mod! With their approval, I'm sharing a version with slight adjustments to match my personal preferences. Feel free to tweak these settings further to suit your own taste.

All included screenshots were taken using settings closest to the "Strong" preset.

Installation

The mod can be installed with Vortex or manually installed by extracting the ZIP file into your mods folder.

Toggle/Cycle settings

Enhanced GI settings are applied by default when the mod is installed. To compare the changes with the vanilla lighting, disable the mod, or compare profiles, two commands are bound by default:

F6 -> Toggle Enhanced GI

F7 -> Cycle between all GI profiles (weak, balanced, strong)

Customization

For optimal results, it is recommended to set the in-game global illumination setting to Ultra.

The multiprofile version allows loading multiple e_svoTI configs by adding them with "GI_RegisterProfile" in EGI.cfg. Default profiles are located in EnhancedGI/profiles.

Change the default GI profile with GI_DefaultProfile in EGI.cfg

You can set a custom profile (or vanilla settings) to be loaded at night time with GI_NightProfile.

You can assign a keybind to load specific GI profiles. GI_SetProfile

If you want even more customization, you can bind our editor commands GI_CycleCvars and GI_ScaleCVar to adjust a profile's settings in real time. This is an advanced feature.

If you want to make your own profiles, here is all cvars we support:

e_svoTI_DiffuseConeWidth

e_svoTI_DiffuseAmplifier

e_svoTI_IndoorSkyMultiplier

e_svoTI_IndoorSunMultiplier

e_svoTI_InjectionMultiplier

e_svoTI_VoxelOpacityMultiplier

e_svoTI_PropagationBooster

e_svoTI_SSAOAmount

e_svoTI_NumberOfBounces

e_svoTI_PointLightsBias

e_svoTI_PointLightsMaxDistance

e_svoTI_PointLightsMultiplier

e_svoTI_SkyColorMultiplier

e_svoTI_SpecularAmplifier

e_svoTI_SpecularFromDiffuse

e_svoTI_MinReflectance

r_ssdoAmountAmbient

r_ssdoAmountDirect

r_ssdoAmountReflection

r_ssdoFadeoutBegin

r_ssdoFadeoutEnd

r_ssdoHalfRes

r_ssdoRadius

r_ssdoRadiusMax

r_ssdoRadiusMin

If these cvars are being set elsewhere, outside of a profile for this mod, they may be overwritten when the mod initializes. Set this mod earlier in load order to avoid this for now-- will fix in an update in the future.
