Creator: aFaern
Version: 1.0

Purpose: Simplify the setting of Streamline's Fog options by providing paired INI tweaks that make the appropriate matching changes to Oblivion.ini and Streamline.ini

Caveats: Streamline's INI file isn't a "real" INI, it's an Oblivion batch script. Because of this and the fact that Bash strips comment lines out of batch scripts it processes with tweaks (because the scripting engine doesn't need them), your sl.ini will lose all of the separate sections and some of the documentation of what those variables do. However, streamline should have a copy of the default ini in Data\Streamline\INI Files\INI Backups

Instructions: Select how much of the world you want behind the fog. Lower numbers equal more fog. At the highest setting (Grid 1), the fog starts at only 6000 units. None of these tweaks turn on the clipping behind fog, although it can significantly improve performance, because I haven't played with it enough to ensure there is no visible clipping.

Full and Simplified versions are in the package, the Simplified version reduces the choices from 25 to around eight with descriptive names.

Streamline does not automatically read changes to its INI, you have to open Streamline (default is CTRL-HOME) and tell it to re-initialize. Also note that doing so will undo any changes you may have already made through the Streamline menus.

Future plans: Maybe add clipping behind fog as an option if people are interested.
