I'm referring to this. (http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=77303&sid=24f6ccf8bf0cc5ff26a7871e110ee392)
I looked at Dangaroo's screenshot post (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showpost.php?p=264690&postcount=177) on CMT's SP mod.

I tried it myself.

It didn't work.

I placed all the files in the CE folder, everything overwritten, ran it, no difference, I used one of the presets, still nothing!

=/ Halp me.

If your running dxtweaker also, don't. Didn't run for me the first time because of that.

I wasn't

And it turns out I had to set UseEffect to 1 under the Globals section of the .ini file.

And thanks to l33t for setting the bloom levels to high.

Oh, and this hacked version of the program isn't supported by the creator. You can find the supported versions of ENBseries and some info on it at his website:

Where do you download the hacked version then?

Oh halomods.com hides all the attachments if you are not a member. It is their way to get people to register. You have to log in to halomods.com then visit the topic in order to see the file attachment.

You also cant have a microwave or pockets on your pants.

Also...is there any womens deodorant within 94 feet of your computer?

That could effect it too.

Do you have freckles?

Or Steam or anything else... anything with a screen overlay breaks it, just like they break yelo

2 pages of babbling and still no pictures.

I want my sneak peek before I download and spend a good 20-30 mins trying to figure out how to get it working. Is it even worth it?

picsplzkthx :D

Fraps might cause a problem, don't know if that's the cause or not, since my comp's too fucked up to run anything besides internet and basic apps right now...

ur not running xfire are you :-/? Well... not signed in or anything, no, but I do have it running in the background, I'll see if that does anything

EDIT:

Yeah, exiting XFire fixed it. Works perfectly.

Wierd, I wasn't even freaking signed in on XFire.

baeleted imagery

Don't know why but the bloom seems a bit glitchy. I'll walk into certain areas and the ammount of bloom will increase dramatically, while in others it's barely noticable. Wierd.

Whoa... did you get it working with Yelo Battery as well? They both have an identically named file, how'd you pull that off?

supersniper
June 16th, 2008, 08:51 AM
Well I couldn't get Yelo Battery to work so does that mean this won't work for me as well? Because I don't want to try it then have that same disappointmen as before.

Oh yeah I forgot to tell it's just the FOV hack, not Yelo.

Also, this addition makes campaign a little bit harder and scary because of all the darkness. it gets annoying on Library though >.<

You just have to copy the files to the Halo folder.

You just have to copy the files to the Halo folder.

yea, I did that but actually messing with the .ini file till I got it to look good enough for my own standards was a completely different story... when I first loaded it, it didn't run to well, well it wasn't very intense, and for some reason it seemed to be turning on and off (something to do with fading in an out or something like that I messed with some values other then the bloom power ones and it started working better) I also realized that anything above 30 in the day time bloom thingy is pointless because everything becomes hell... lol

Heres the bloom settings that I liked, although I'm still not to sure about the "night bloom settings" they are kind of odd, if you make them too high and you walk anywhere near shadows that were set by the lightmaps everything becomes wayyy to dark (mostly the bases on sidewinder I noticed this cuz of the shadows)


[BLOOM]
BloomPowerDay=25
BloomFadeTime=2000
BloomConstantDay=5
BloomQuality=1
BloomScreenLevelDay=20
BloomCurveDay=0
BloomPowerNight=10
BloomConstantNight=2
BloomCurveNight=0
BloomScreenLevelNight=20
BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=80
BloomAdaptationMultiplier=30
BloomAllowOversaturation=1
I'd show pictures but my gfx card is being all pissy right now, its a pos and I need a new one. (stuff flashes on the screen, random planes and polys, some stuff disappears, I have no idea how to fix it, it comes and goes, sometimes goes away if I restart, I can't fig out what causes it)

I wish there was a way to decrease the blur radius.

So this doesn't work with dxtweaker? Because if it doesn't I won't bother with this. I adore the active camo fix.

Decrease intensity maybe?

I can't even get the tweaker work. Well it should work but I don't see any difference in my active camo....

Can it be applied to only a certain color intensity? For example, everything on the bright end of the spectrum, REALLY bright end, to white only? That way it realistically renders the bloom rather than on anything just plain old light looking. I might test this on my map then.
