And you're in for a treat Tai, because those are just stills. In the game,
you see the rain fall, the trees sway, and the sun set.

I played some of it yesterday. I got the emerald from the king and I went to that guy. Holy hell lol I gave the priest a arrow to the head and the preists came after me lol. I ran outside and they followed @_@ Now that's awesome.

Yes, the AI is fun! What mods are you using?

I uninstalled everything last night because of the weird yellow things I saw. I'll probably download most of the mods under blockbuster. And read about the others.

Yeah, my Blockbuster recommendations are a great start. Natural Environments & Qarl's III will boost your visuals right away.

I just found out about today as well. According to the web page they posted,
they are in the process of "moving". The change is due to their servers
not being able to handle the increased load since Shivering Isles...

As soon as their new site is active, I'll check the links. Probably going to
have to redo them all. Sigh. But it will be worth it.

Still looking for a working link to the Life Translated mod. Googled it a little, with no luck. Know any other sources?

jamenta · 04-24-07

Heru, it looks like Scrolls are back up and my links are still good! whoo hoo.
Don't have to relink all of them. Although when I get home from work, will double check them.

Nice. Thanks for letting me know, there were a few mods I couldn't find elsewhere that I wanted to check out.

Question for you: HDR or Bloom?

I'm a little torn. Bloom's AA options are nice for smoothing, removing model jaggedness and whatnot, but once you see HDR in an area (interiors seem to be the best) with lots of lighting.. amazing.

What's your preference and why?

Also, wth's up with "Self Shadows" looking so crappy? Seems lots of people have issues with them. I know the edges of shadows, specifically on npcs, look dirty and gritty when I have it enabled. Do you know of any unofficial and/or third party mods that addresses this?

jamenta · 04-24-07

HDR is better. Just observe how well HDR works with Sun effects on water or even as you look thru trees. It's remarkable.

I suggest you turn off Self Shadows. It will help your FPS rate and frankly, doesn't add a whole lot to your visuals.

If you check out my link to the tweak guide in the FAQ, there are a number of tweaks that guide suggests including turning off self shadows.
