About this mod
An ENB preset which attempts to punctuate the contrast between day and night, interior and exterior (especially dungeons, hence the name "Delver"), and the various weathers provided by All Natural and Atmospheres weather mods. If you love delving into dark and creepy caves, this is the preset for you!

Name: Dahveed's Delver ENB preset for TES4: Oblivion
Version: 1.0
Date: May 8, 2015
Author: Dahveed
Description
========
This is an ENB preset which I have customized over the past year or so using various files I have accumulated from the net and a lot of experimentation. My goal was to punctuate the contrast between day and night, interior and exterior (especially dungeons, hence the name "Delver"), and the various weathers provided by All Natural and Atmospheres weather mods.
Originally, after trying all the different presets available, I ended up using "Cinematic Fantasia" by DDD, which can be found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/45269/?
However, as with all the other presets, I found it excellent but lacking a little here, a little there, a little of this, a little of that. Especially not to my liking were the lighting of night time and dungeons; they just weren't spooky enough. So I adjusted settings such as brightness, gamma correction, lighting curve and ambient lighting intensity in interiors especially to produce dungeons and caves that truly feel scary.
If you have this ENB along with the proper mods installed, you will be crapping your pants in those dungeon delves!
Requirements
==========
ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED - d3d9.dll from enbdev.com, which is NOT provided here.
OPTIONAL, but required if you want the same look as my screenshots:
Darker Dungeons and Nights mod pack
Real Lights
All Natural
Atmospheres version 2 (load after All Natural in your load order)
Also, Qarl's texture packs are fantastic if you don't have them already.
Fire/flame/torch retextures
Oblivion realm retextures
Nightmarish Oblivion Gate Sounds
Installation Instructions
=================
Go to Boris's ENB site and obtain the most recent copy of d3d9.dll. He expressly forbids people from sharing his .dll file, so you have to get it from here.
Click on the download link, open the "Wrapper Version", and copy the d3d9.dll file into your "Oblivion" game folder - this is the same folder where your oblivion.exe file is. You do not need the other files, as they will all be overwritten by the files you'll get from my link anyways.
Then open the files from my preset, and copy/paste all of them to the same location (the files, not the folder!). If you already had an existing ENB preset, make backups of any files you had there and then click "yes" to overwrite.
Install the "optional" mods listed above using whatever method you normally use to install your mods.
Finally, this preset works best if your "brightness" setting in the oblivion options menus is at around 50%, however it will depend on personal preference.
Uninstallation Instructions
===================
Simply remove the installed files, including the d3d9.dll
Incompatability
===========
None.
Known Issues
===========
Depending on your mod setup, you may not get perfect lighting in every situation. If you're using the mods I suggested, and ONLY the mods I suggested, you shouldn't have any significant issues. However I can't possibly predict what your load order is, your Oblivion.ini settings, your PC setup, etc etc, so who knows.
Also it is a known issue that some city or village interiors (inns, houses, shops etc) might also be too dark, even during the daytime hours. This couldn't really be helped, since this version of ENB is relatively old and there is no way to distinguish between the different types of interiors, or interiors "day" and "night."
It's a tradeoff I had to make; having shops etc a bit too dark for a couple minutes is worth the tradeoff in order to have a good 45 minute dungeon delve in spooky darkness.
