ENBSERIES GRAPHICS IMPROVEMENT

**orclover** · January 03, 2012, 01:13 PM

The ENBSERIES make the graphics very nice... just seeing if other people use it and have any recommendations.

here are the files that work great for me... make sure all files are in the medieval II folder...if you mess with the enbseries ini, make sure the shader is 0,1,2... make sure motion blur is off, ambient occlusion is on...and keep your darkening low. There is no risk because you can just delete the files if it doesn't work. o h yeah, to initiate the series you have to hit f12... and there will be white letters in the upper left if you have placed the files in the right place.

The first pic is with the enbseries... this has a dramatic effect on a larger monitor... it blurs all the crappy edges on trees and soldiers and applies indirect lighting so your guys will be darker when they are supposed to be and lighter when in the sun... the bottom one is vanilla, the lack of AA isn't worrisome until you make this picture 4 time bigger which is what I play on... it is tormenting.

Looks good, but why do you need two threads for this?

And is it recommendable for not so good computers?

not recommended for not so good computers... although you could probably turn your unit quality down and use the blurring effect and see an improvement

Thats good, i will test it tomorrow

So the top one is with this mod and the bottom one without? The top one looks far worse IMNSHO

Like I said, the vanilla picture has been scrunched which makes it look better, if you play on a large screen the game looks like trash and the enb smooths out the terrible looking trees and such, as you know screenshots can't do justice because light quality changes from your game to desktop... it would take you 5 minutes to try it out and see if you like it. And direct lighting changes are impossible to see with a static screenshot... with some tweaking I actually felt like I was in the real Osgiliath instead of inside of a game that is 5 years old. Really it covers up the crappy shadows and lack of good texture filters in MTW2

is that already included in vanilla lastest version?

Worked well. It works well for all games I have. Whether it be Empire Total War, Napoleon Total War, Mount&Blade, and the games it was made for: GTA-SA, GTA-IV, GTA-VC

More screenies of this?

EDIT: And are these all the ENB files? I installed them and nothing happens. I dont see the white letters at the top or anything.

I have to wait 60 seconds to download something that takes 2 seconds to complete... brutal. Anyway, this sounds very interesting, I will give it a try and report back. Thanks.

Edit: If I were you I would upload it somewhere else, the wait time and bot checker are very undesirable.

I tried it but nothing happened, I put the files are in the M2TW folder and hit F12 in battle.

make sure you have enbseries.ini in the folder...and d39.dll, the focusing file gives the game a blur which offers some realism to me and softens the rough edges of the game especially trees.

That .dll wasn't included in the pack. Where could that be found? Surely we can't copy the same one out of the system32 folder right? Is it not special?

For future reference you can upload mod (limit it 100MB I believe) files directly to TWC. Scroll to the top of the page, click Downloads, and then click add.

I got it working by finding the necessary files elsewhere. They were made for GTA but work with M2TW. Only problem is they make things too blurry. It still looks nice but a bit too blurry. I will try and make it look better, if I manage it I will upload.
