EssArrBee Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Here is a list of the INI tweaks that STEP recommends: 1.D.1. Skyrim INIEach of the following entries can be pasted directly into the INI (if editing manually). The entry descriptions are commented, so they will not be interpreted by the game at startup. Alternatively, these descriptions can be omitted. [General]sIntroSequence=Â Â Â ;Disables the intro sequence for a faster startupfFlickeringLightDistance=8192Â Â Â ;Helps prevent lighting pop-in[Display];Improves shadow changes as the sun moves through the skyfSunShadowUpdateTime=0.25Â Â Â ;Transition time of sun-shadow movementfSunUpdateThreshold=1.5Â Â Â ;Time between sun-shadow movement[Grass]iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=3Â Â Â ;increase grass diversity with a small cost to performance (yes, 'texure' and not 'texture'). Consider setting to 7 if using Skyrim Flora Overhaul.[Combat];Shift the point of aim to the center of the aiming reticule for arrows and crossbows.f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7f1PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7f3PBoltTiltUpAngle=0.7[Actor]fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000Â Â Â ;allows arrows to hit objects as far as the appear to fly.[EDIT]1.D.2. SkyrimPrefs INI[Display]iMaxAnisotropy = 0Â Â Â ;Anisotropic Filtering - set this to zero, as it should be controlled via the graphics driver.iMultiSample = 4Â Â Â ;Antialiasing - keep the value set by the Skyrim Launcher for nowiPresentInterval = 0Â Â Â ;disable vsync! - vsync should be handled in enblocal.ini (see ENBoost mod instructions)bTreesReceiveShadows=1Â Â Â ;Enables shadows rendering on trees (insignificant performance impact)bDrawLandShadows=1Â Â Â ;Enables shadows rendering on land (insignificant performance impact)bFloatPointRenderTarget=1Â Â Â ;ENB users ONLY![Controls]bMouseAcceleration=0Â Â Â ;Disable mouse acceleration We need to make sure that these edits work with the MO feature that lets users make tweaks without editing the original INIs. It is easy to test if you have a profile with all default settings and use the file I uploaded below. The file is just the step patches and a folder with called INI tweaks. Install the file then right click->information in the left pain of MO. In the info pane that pops up under the INI-files tab tick both Skryim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini to activate the INI tweaks. Test everything I haven't already verified above. Verified stuff is in Orange, discard anything in RED unless you want to verify it.STEP Patches.7z
wolverine2710 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I have contacted Tannin about ini files and in particular bug report #453 "Ini-Tweaks not reverting to default values when deactivated". As in a setting of INI Tweaks gets stuck in the MO skyrim.ini and skyrim.ini files. It is NOT solved. He is working on a solution and it could be integrated in the next version. Curious though if some one actually experienced this issue. MO's ini file handling is discussed in detail in the thread "STEP v2.2.8 Official Bug Reports". Post #227 contains the email I send to Tannin and the response I got. Also read posts from a few earlier for a better understanding. Might I suggest discussing this further in the 2.2.8 thread so all knowledge about this can be concentrated.
SCarverOrne Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Just a heads up, Enhanced Projectile Soul Trap was set to hidden by the author: "The Unofficial Skyrim Patch as of version 2.0.0 includes this fix fully. As there is no valid reason not to use the Unofficial Patches, this means there's no valid reason to use this mod. Download the USKP, and don't worry about this"
Smile44 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 This mod was removed for that reason and is not in the guide presently. :)
DoubleYou Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 We should probably remove Nitpick from Extended, since we're using Mod Organizer. Might give it an honorable mention for Wrye Bash users in 1.C Utilities.
TechAngel85 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Yep. I second that. I stopped using it a long time when I made the switch to MO. Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk.
DotCam Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 This is my first post here, but have followed STEP religiously for quite some time, and I really thank all of you for the detail and effort put into it, it is awesome! My suggestion is regarding one of the ini settings in "SkyrimPrefs.ini", the following is from the STEP ini guide:[Display] bFloatPointRenderTarget=1Â Â Â ;ENB users ONLY!For those of us using ENBoost (with speedhack enabled / graphics modification disabled), does this count as ENB? It might confuse people (especially now that it is gaining traction) into setting this to 1 when they use this mod. I haven't found a definitive answer on whether this should be set to "=1 or =0" with ENBoost, but in my own testing, setting the value to 1 decreases my performance significantly, by around 10fps (On = 35-45fps / Off = 45-60fps) in highly intensive areas (tested in the Morthal swamps area). On top of that, micro-stuttering (when slowly panning the view left or right, or walking slowly) is completely gone with the setting off on my system. Again I am not sure which is the correct setting, and this is probably more info than needed, but I suggest making a note for ENBoost users, how it is worded now seems a little bit to ambiguous ( at least to me ;)). | ASUS Z87-A | Intel i5 4670KÂ @ 4ghz | 8GB Ram | GTX 660 Ti OC 2GB| Kingston 120GB & 240GB SSD Tandem |
DoubleYou Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 If using ENBoost and not the ENB part of it, set bFloatPointRenderTarget=0
z929669 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Since ENBoost is not specifically referenced, it should be understood to mean ENB graphics; however, we can add "(not for ENBoost only)"
Octopuss Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I am looking at 2.2.9 page and noticed Clothing and clutter fixes are almost at the top of its category. Kryptopyr says on Nexus "Load this mod AFTER Weapons & Armor Fixes, but BEFORE Complete Crafting Overhaul.", though.
DoubleYou Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 You're confusing load order with installation order. BOSS will place the ESPs where they belong.
darthbdaman Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 The recommended version of Consistent Older People should be changed to Cutting Room Floor and BYOD compatibility.
blur210 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I just want to know, when are you planning to release the STEP 2.3.0 Core Patch?
CJ2311 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Don't you think it's a little bit too early to ask about an ETA for 2.3.0 when 2.2.9 is still not out?
