ENBSeriesINI - Timeofday

The time of day (TOD) parameters allow for precise control of when dawn, sunrise, day, sunset, dusk, and night start using the game's time data. These parameters control when specific TOD related settings are applied, thus, they should match the in-game settings (which could be vanilla or altered by a mod). All values use a floating point number based on a twenty-four hour day (0.0...23.9).

DawnDuration

DawnDuration=(0.0...23.9)

This parameter controls the length of time the fade from from NightTime to Sunrise values takes in game hours (when the sky starts to light but before the sun can be seen).

SunriseTime

SunriseTime=(0.0...23.9)

This setting is the time that the sunrise occurs in game.

DayTime

DayTime=(0.0...23.9)

This setting is the time that the middle of the day occurs in game.

SunsetTime

SunsetTime=(0.0...23.9)

This setting is the time that the sunset occurs in game.

DuskDuration

DuskDuration=(0.0...23.9)

This parameter is the duration that the transition from sunset settings fades to night settings in game hours. Basically this is the time from when the sun sets and can't be seen (SunsetTime) to the time set for NightTime.

NightTime

NightTime=(0.0...23.9)

This setting is the time that the middle of the night occurs in game.

Understanding the Durations

The two Duration settings can be confusing to understand. They are essentially timers for fade the effect between two sets of parameters (Reference).

Math

DawnDuration

(SunriseTime - DawnDuration) = DawnStart // SunriseTime = DawnEnd

DuskDuration

(SunsetTime - DuskDuration) = DuskStart // SunsetTime = DuskEnd

Example

DawnDuration = 2 // SunriseTime = 9, thus, (9 - 2) = 7

This means NightTime values will start to transition to Sunrise values at 7am. The fade will end and be full Sunrise values at 9am.
