📋 About This Mod
LUCENT ENB
Lucent ENB V2 has been released
RECOMMENDED MODS: Interior Lighting Overhaul Realistic Wasteland Lighting Enhancement ============================================================================================================================================= Check the IMAGES section to see screenshots ============================================================================================================================================= INSTALLATION:
1) Download the ENB binaries for Fallout New Vegas from http://enbdev.com/download_mod_falloutnv.htm 2) Extract the files in the binaries' archive into your Fallout New Vegas main directory 3) Extract Lucent ENB's files into the same location. Overwrite when asked. 4) OPTIONAL: Choose a preset for for performance if needed. 5) OPTIONAL: Choose one of three different palettes to your liking. (SEE IMAGES SECTION FOR COMPARISONS) 6) SUGGESTION: Warm palette works best for New Vegas (Mojave) while Default works best for Fallout 3 or TTW users (Capital Wasteland). If you are not using any weather mods that alter the game's default colors and lighting, then Neutral palette may work the best. 7) SUGGESTION: You should turn off Fallout's Depth of Field if you want to use Lucent ENB's own Depth of Field settings. 8) SUGGESTION: If you feel the nights are too bright, press SHIFT+ENTER in-game to bring up the ENB GUI. Look for the Adaptation section and change the ForceMinMaxValues to True. Alternatively, manually change it on the enbseries.ini file. NOTE: Disable anti-aliasing (this preset adds SMAA), anisotropic filtering, and water displacement from the Fallout Launcher/Settings and make sure HDR is turned on
IF YOU DID ANY SHADER PACKAGE TWEAKS TO FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS, REMOVE/REVERT YOUR CHANGES BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SETTINGS. ENB WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITH TWEAKS THAT CHANGE THE GAME SHADERS (Example: Tweaks that enables Allow30Shaders=1 on your ini files)
DON'T FORGET TO ADJUST YOUR IN-GAME BRIGHTNESS AS NEEDED
If you see weird artifacts, shadows, or odd lighting on NPCs, smoke particles, or dirt. Turn off Detailed Shadows and Ambient Occlusion. Both of these features don't play too well with N
