KON_air. That castle scene looks really great! But is native really that dark, or does the Bloom make it too bright? Now I can't see how I could compare the two pictures because the lightning is so different.

Native feels darker then it is when put next to heavily modified rendering. Of course my gamma settings maybe too dark for you too.
Comparing Fallout 3 and 1-2 is like comparing an apple to a mutated apple which is trying to bite your face.

No, my download only has minimal blur and colour correction. While Tul has higher values and motion blur.

Yes and no, I download his archive but modyfied it a lot.
Here are my presets in 'enbseries.ini':

Quote
[BLOOM]
BloomPowerDay=30
BloomFadeTime=5000
BloomConstantDay=3
BloomQuality=2
BloomScreenLevelDay=100
BloomCurveDay=6
BloomPowerNight=15
BloomConstantNight=2
BloomCurveNight=-3
BloomScreenLevelNight=100
BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=5
BloomAdaptationMultiplier=80
BloomAllowOversaturation=1


Quote
[COLORCORRECTION]
DarkeningAmountDay=5
ScreenLevelDay=100
ScreenLevelNight=100
DarkeningAmountNight=-10
GammaCurveDay=8
GammaCurveNight=8
ColorSaturationDay=-3
ColorSaturationNight=-3
UsePaletteTexture=1


Quote
[MOTIONBLUR]
MotionBlurQuality=0
MotionBlurVelocity=12
MotionBlurRotation=12


Motion blur doesn't work well with M&B so I suggest do disable it. If you still want to use it, enable both motionblur and water effect. You can find it in [EFFECT] section.

Is there occlusion enabled? Or Directx 7 rendering?

This needs to be an option in Native and used in all promotional screenshots, with Graphical Enhancement, Realistic Steel and Aquil's Face Textures. I seriously think that this would almost double the new players attracted by screenshots trailers and the tiny amount of advertising that this game will get.

Bravesirknight, I'm afraid you have DirectX 7 enabled in your M&B configuration. DirectX 9 is required (don't know if your graphic card can handle it).

By the way, another nice screen:

Well, if you couldn't figure out you have to change your gamma settings you better not download such stuff at all...

If I'd have around 60-140 fps ingame with the Native options maxed out, what am I left with when I install this, (GE2, and the mipmap mod)?

Spec:

amd athlon (x1) 4000, from 2.4 to 2.75 ghz
2gd ddr
7600gt

And Tul, what mod's the screens op page 4 from?

@Tul:  your settings make my GFX card want to die.  I get like 14fps.  Night battle are so dark I have to turn it off; it looks pretty though.  :)

That one looks awesome.
Looking for another indy game like Mount & Blade?  There aren't any.  But if you take M&B, remove the action, add strategy, keep the pillaging and bloodshed, swap Kings for Gods and camp followers for Valkyries, add dark priests that raise zombie cavalry and sacrifice abducted virgins, rename Nords to Vanheim and Swadia to Marignon, and add hundreds of other mythological beings, you get a very different game.

It's called Dominions 3

Have you enable motion blur? It causes huge fps drop. I have only bloom on and fps is around 25-40 in big battle with hussars (everything maxed). Bloom and color correction causes around 25% fps drop on my spec (it's not so huge I think).
My spec is AMD 64 X2 3800+
2GB of ram
GF 8600GE
And the nights should be dark.

Oh, you can check the FPS drop and graphical diffrence by pressing shift+F12 (it turns this mod on and off)
