What is Oblivion Reloaded E3?
A fork of the official Oblivion Reloaded 8.3 that focuses on lighting and shadows. This version adds the following changes to the 8.3 feature set:
Exterior Point Light Shadows
Up to 12 point lights for shadow rendering (increased from 4)
See Docs section for readme and install instructions. The recommendations are...strongly recommended.
Updates
Version 3.2.1 is now available! See Posts for release notes of current and previous versions.
Notes
Out of the box, OR E3 aims for a vanilla plus experience. Therefore many of OR's effects and features are disabled by default. You can still tweak OR until your pants fall off but ironically my target audience leans toward those who want to spend minimal time modding. Some parameters are out of my control and will inevitably need to be tweaked but in large, I want the install and config changes to be as minimal as possible.
With the statements thus far, there should be no surprise that gameplay and camera overhauls are not a priority of this version. Such things are leftover artifacts from the official Oblivion Reloaded and are not maintained. However, they may still be enabled if desired.
To learn more about the features in OR, see the document included at:/Docs/OblivionReloaded/OblivionReloaded.html . This documentation has been maintained for the OR E3 releases; however, information for the existing features may have already been outdated at the time of the fork.
Compatibility Issues
You will likely experience issues combining OR E3 with:
Enhanced Camera
AMD Graphics Cards
Any eye replacement textures
Any window replacement textures
Steam Overlay (loose fit but common issue)
