Version v0236
Quick fix for the enbeffect file. I accidentally left the cinematic letterbox effect on by default with the latest update.
Now it should be OFF by default with the option to add with the folder provided.
Version v0236
- updated to the latest binaries - tweaked underwater effects - increased saturation - made days lighter and more colorful like the original Megatherium 119 - tweaked sun/glare - temporarily turned off particle effects, noticed some glitches - tweaked volumetric fog and clouds.
Version 2.0
Megatherium has been reborn with the latest binaries. This was VERY tedious but worth it and actually kinda fun.
- fixed glowing water at night & rain - fixed sun shining through buildings - darkened mountains during the day - new sunrise and sunset settings added for all exteriors and interiors - brighter interiors and dungeons during the day and darker at night - enboost included, see configuration guide included on the mod page toward the bottom - additional behind the scenes effects added thanks to Matso's latest modder's resource
Version 1.4
--- Clouds --- I have tweaked the clouds to be more consistent with the volumetric fog in the mountains. Before the clouds were dark and gray, now they should appear lighter and fluffier. I feel this goes much better with the tint in the blue sky
--- Fire --- I didn't realize my gamma settings were different in my ini files and had other mods to enhance fire at night. I have now made fire brighter at night and darker during the days to make up for this. This should really help people out in the dark.
-- Bloom --- Slightly lowered bloom at night.
Version 1.2
1.2 Accidentally added the smaa.dll with version 1.1. d3d9_smaa.dll really impacts performance and removing this will really help gain FPS.
Version 1.1
1.1 Attempted to fix sun shining through wall/mountains issue. Lowering sun intensity adjusting the curve as well as sun rays multiplier seems to really help with the problem.
1.0 Release
1. Download the latest v0305 binaries or higher from enbdev.com 2. Open the "Wrapper" folder included. Copy & Paste only the d3d9.dll and enbhost into your main Skyrim folder as shown below:
3. Download Megatherium ENB from the files section.
Once downloaded, copy & paste only the "enbseries" folder, enblocal, and enbseries files into your main Skryim folder as shown below:
4. Open up the enblocal file as a txt. and adjust the videomemorysize= under [Memory]. There are a few ways to configure this and I highly recommend watching my Tutorial video to properly set this up. For 32 bit OS users with less than 8GB of RAM, use this formula [VRAM + SYSTEM RAM] - [2048] or For 64-bit, If you have 8GB RAM or more, use this formula [Total Available Graphics Memory] - [170] for Windows 7 users For 64-bit, If you have 8GB RAM or more, use this formula [Total Available Graphics Memory] - [350] for Windows 8/10 users
There is also an autodetect setting in here as well if you are really unsure how to do this, which is the easiest way but not recommended. Watch my tutorial video or check out the S.T.E.P. Wiki on ENBoost for more information.
5. If you want beautiful custom ENB Snow FX, now is the time to download the optional ENB Data files from the files section of the mod page. This is Nexus Mod Manager compatible for simple installation. It contains a single ESP you can activate for Mindflux's amazing falling snow FX to work.
6. Make the following adjustments in your Skyrim pref inis: (You can find this under Documents/Games/Skyrim) If these values are not there, you can write them in yourself as long as they are under the [Display] section.
7. Turn off hardware anti-aliasing & anisotropic filtering. ENB handles both of these. You can also do this in the Skyrim Launcher OR the Skyrim Pref files as well (recommended) You are better off doing them while you are in the Skyrim Pref inis anyway.
