ABOUT

Viva La Atmos ENB
is a spiritual-successor to Atmos ENB by TheKetzku from Fallout 3. I was heavily inspired to recreate the same bleak yet vibrant feeling as if it was made for Fallout: New Vegas. Complimented with TheConfidenceMan's Custom Weathers and Lighting - CM Weather Config.



REQUIREMENTS
*OPTIONAL


*Use only one weather mod at the time. I suggest adjusting [Sky] settings to reduce sky banding or overblown skies,
if you prefer those optional weather mod alternatives over CM Weather Config.


INSTALLATION

PREREQUISITES:
  • Download the latest version of ENB Binaries that is available. At the time of writing it is v0.451.
  • Extract d3d9.dll from the Wrapper Version folder in the zip file to where your Fallout: New Vegas folder is located.
If it's your first time installing or using an ENB, extract the enblocal.ini from the Wrapper Version folder to your Fallout: New Vegas root folder.

  • Download the CM Weather Config - ALL DLC or NO DLC plugin under Optional Files section with your mod manager.
  • Load the plugin last or before LOD plugins if you have them loaded last in your plugin load order.

RESHADE INSTALL:
  • Hide d3d9.dll from ENB Binaries that you have extracted somewhere not in the game's root folder.
  • Download ReShade with full add-on support.
  • While installing and reaching the step to "Select a Preset to install."
    If nothing is selected, click Browse and select LaAtmos.ini that's located in the Fallout: New Vegas root folder.
  • Continue clicking Next until you reach the finish.
  • In the Fallout: New Vegas root folder rename the new d3d9.dll to reshade.asi and move it inside to the scripts folder.
  • Same steps apply to other weather presets under Optional Files. Granted, you can switch presets in the ReShade GUI.
  • Move the ENB Binaries d3d9.dll that you have hidden or moved from the previous steps, back to the root folder.

ENB INSTALL:
  • From Viva La Atmos mod page, download Viva La Atmos for CM Weather Config under Main Files.
  • Extract all the files to the Fallout: New Vegas root folder.
  • Same steps apply to other weather presets under Optional Files, allow them to overwrite if asked.


INI SETTINGS:
  • In the FalloutCustom.ini or FalloutPrefs.ini, add or change the following lines:
[Display]
iMultiSample=0
iMaxAnisotropy=0

[BlurShaderHDR]
bDoHighDynamicRange=1

[Water]
bUseWaterDisplacements=0

*
Some lines will resolve see through objects and ground. bDoHighDynamicRange=1 must be left enabled to not have pitch black skies or lighting having broken effects.

FIRST TIME ENB INSTALL:
  • In the enblocal.ini and edit the following lines:
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=false
InitProxyFunctions=false
ProxyLibrary=

[PERFORMANCE]
SpeedHack=true

[MEMORY]
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=true or false

*
Hit and miss setting. It may help improve your performance or sometimes it doesn't work well for others. Recommend testing it to check.

ReservedMemorySizeMb=1024

*
Lower for older systems, higher for newer. (128, 256, 384, 512, 640, 768, 896, 1024)
The official recommendation is to start at the lowest and incrementally increase until you stop noticing stutter.
From Minimal ENB's description. This setting can be a placebo but you can test safely and set the value to 512 or 1024.

VideoMemorySizeMb=

*
Use VRamSizeDX9.exe, to get a "video memory available" number.
For Windows 10, subtract 350. For Windows 7 subtract 170. For Windows 8 use the number it gives you.
Also from Minimal ENB's description.

AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

[FIX]
FixGameBugs=false
FixTransparencyBugs=false
IgnoreGECK=true



NOTES

CM Weather Config's exterior lighting in Old World Blues DLC is completely botched. Nothing I can do about that. Other DLC areas are fine.
Recommend using another weather or lighting mod that touches DLCs and load them after CM Weather Config in the plugin load order or
get CM Weather Config - NO DLC and load any other weather mod before it.

An attempt was made for CM Weather Config - TTW but it was super inconsistent and littered with errors after testing.

I can't configure, work on each and every existing weather mod there is.
