ENBSeries v0.076 Generic.

This version is based on 0.076 for GTA San Andreas, but with disabled by request
some
processing, so it can be used now for many other games. Added injector version, so
the mod can work with some laptops or overlay software.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
Videocard with support of Shader Model 3.0 or better. Videocards in the list below
may fit:
GeForce 6100, 6150, 6200, 6600, 6800, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 8500, 8600, 8800;
Radeon 1300, 1600, 1800, 1900, 1950, 2400, 2600, 2900, 3850, 3870.

GAME COMPATIBILITY:
Mod may work incorrect with some versions of the games, impossible to test it for
every game patch and for already modded games. Some types of installed game
modifications may conflict with ENBSeries.

INSTALLING:
Extract files from archive in to the game directory or where game execution file
exist (.exe). For some games it is in the directories named system, bin, bin32.
Warning, some games needs root game directory for mod even if .exe file is not
there.

STARTING:
After game start the mod deactivated by default, to activate it use key combination
(for GTASA shift+f12 by default).

SETUP:
After first game start with the mod, configuration file enbseries.ini will be
created, use it to modify mod setting. Warning, if configuration file will be
corrupted in any way, remove it and run mod again.

SETTING DESCRIPTION:

[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=(0,1) load 3rd party library by the mod at game start. Helps to

[GLOBAL]
UseEffect=(0,1) activate mod at start. In some situations HUD or startup movies may
be corrupted visually because of this parameter enabled.
AlternativeDepth=(0,1) increase performance of some effects, but not all videocards
can use this mode at full precision, if you see large lines on the objects, disable
this parameter.
AllowAntialias=(0,1) enables antialiasing setting from game to be used in the mod
effects. (antialiasing, multisampling, fsaa, in other words).
BugFixMode=(0..5) every value fixes it's own unsopported feature or bug in driver
or hardware. For drivers 169.xx and 171.xx do not set this parameter to 1. Values
from 0 to 5 actually HDR texture formats: 0 (R32G32F)-high quality and middle
performance, 1 (R32F)-high quality and fast, 2 (A32R32G32B32F)-high quality and
very slow, 3 (R16F)-low quality and fastest, 4 (R16G16F)-low quality and fast, 5
(A16R16G16B16F)-low quality and middle performance.
SkipShaderOptimization=(0,1) disables optimization when compiling shader, may help
to elliminate bugs.

Key numbers (virtual key codes) available in key_codes.txt or key_codes.htm. In

current version of the mod these lists of key codes are hex values, but mod works
with decimal, i can't describe now how to convert them, may be later i'll do
something.

PROBLEMS SOLVING:
Q: Mod installed, but i don't see any difference.
A: After game start mod is not activated, turn it on by hotkeys (by default SHIFT
F12).
Q: When activating the mod, image makes black (objects near the camera).
A: Your videocard not support antialiasing of HDR textures, disable antialiasing in
the game and in display driver control panel. Also try to set AllowAntialias=0,
BugFixMode=1 or 5, AlternativeDepth=0, if not helps, disable ambient occlusions
EnableOcclusion=0.
Q: Computer not responding when mod activated.
A: Perhaps video drivers too old or too new, for example forceware 169.xx and
higher (171.xx last tested) working incorrectly woth some HDR textures, use older
drivers (162.xx, 163.xx). Also try to change BugFixMode and disable ambient
occlusions EnableOcclusion=0.
Q: Car reflections sometimes hiding and flickering.
A: For some videocards you need to set ReflectionDepthBias value to something about
100, depending from hardware. This problem was found on Radeon 2xxx.
Q: From far distance interier and wheels becomes overlapped visible through car.
A: Value of ReflectionDepthBias is too high or it's not required for your
videocard.
Q: I have integrated onboard videochip and mod not works.
A: Perhaps video memory size is too small for display resolution you are playing,
decrease it or in bios setting increase video memory size (typically values from 16
to 128 Mb).
Q: At high resolutions and antialiasing mod not works.
A: Not enough video memory.

PERFORMANCE TIPS:
Do not use too high display resolution with ambient occlusion enabled, this effect
directly depends from number of pixels on the screen.
By setting UseWaterDeep=0, UseOcclusions=0, ShadowQuality=2 rendering of the scene
to depth deactivating and performance greatly increase.
Reflections with some imported car models may work very slow, because of too many
polygons that currently proceeded several times, just wait for next releases,
rendering reflections with cars itself will be done later.
Bloom almost not decrease game speed, use it as you wish.
Any filtering, for shadows or for ambient occlusions are very slow, try to set
their quality=2 and check framerate, may be it will be good for you.
OcclusionQuality=0 set only if your videocard is realy fast, this is the most
performance costly. By setting this parameter to 0 you may olso decrease filtering
quality to 1 or even 2.
