Yes, yes, I hear you thinking... Another sun!... Meh! Yes indeed, another sun replacer. Yet I would give it a go :)
I'm not going to write a lot here besides a few points on how this works, or works differently from other sun replacers. I think the mod is straight forward enough for that ;)
This mod replaces the sun/sunglare and modifies the textures in this way; • Added the sunglare to sun texture which freed up the sunglare.dds to add an overlay effect. Sunglare is pretty much only visible during sunrise/sunset events in game • Shifted each RGB by 0.3 degrees to the right to add a slight color spectrum around the sun (in the glares) • Placed the alpha equal to the blue channel to give a very minor chromatic effect, which should hardly be noticeable • Various little touches left and right to give the best effect • Each file is DTX5 compressed and 2048x2048 in size
In the downloads you can find a Vanilla and Climates of Tamriel version, but both are the same textures, just the installation directory is different as Climates of Tamriel uses a custom folder structure.
I suggest use with ENB as it handles the sun so much better. You might need to tweak a little bit in case you use a custom sun already.
If you are an ENB author and want to simplify installation and are currently linking this sun replacer, simply drop me a PM and give proper credits on your ENB page.
I hope you enjoy it! And thank you all for your wonderful feedback! Very much appreciated!! Peace out, prod
