📋 About This Mod
Brief :
Original mod by Ryan (Fudgyduff), this is an adaptive rewrite of the source code, compiled against the latest address library so it's version independent. (> 1. 5. 39) Biggest credit goes to them! I did like 2% work for updating it.
This plugin serves the same idea, which dynamically removes ugly shader effect from characters and weapons, no matter it's vanilla or mod-introduced.
Installation :
Install with Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex, or manual download then install with above-said tools.
Manual installation: No, it's 2020.
Configuration :
-
[]RemoveActorFX = true, enable the plugin to remove characters glows, set to false to keep shader effects.
[
]RemoveWeaponFX = true, enable the plugin to remove weapon glows, set to false to keep shader effects. - ExclusionList = [], add the name of the plugin that you want to keep shader effects.
The default config comes with exclusion from some popular mods, FleshFX, Frostfall, R. A. S. S etc :
Plugin names should be in double quotaion and separeted by comma.
Note :
If you are bothered by the Ghost NPCs being extremly transparent, check out this awesome patch by PRieST47.
