Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis Pimp Divinity 2 (graphics mod)

Hi,

I didn't see a post about ENB in these forums, so I thought I would open one up. To cut it short, ENB is a graphics mod that works with many games and adds stuff like bloom, ambient occlusion, color corrections etc. to games not native supporting it or enhancing effects.

Homepage:
http://enbdev.com/index_en.html

The mod is highly customizeable and offers many options, though some will not work with every game and revision, which is why the developer of enb created specialized packages for games.

So, in order to enjoy ENB you'll have to customize your settings, which I did. The tweaking of the ini and effect files took literally hours, but I'm using my settings in many games for about a year now. I like to keep the settings realistic, certain gamers seem to add very, very much Bloom to their enb settings, which gives me a headache.

So, here are some comparism screenshots I took:


In general, with my settings, shadows will appear darker, colors abit more colorful and caves will be caves (dark like they're ment to be), not caves with lightbulbs like in the vanilla version.



The first screenshot of each series was taken with the standard Divinity 2 HDR enabled and ENB disabled.
The second with HDR disabled and ENB enabled.
The second with both HDR and ENB disabled.

http://i.imagehost.org/download/0246/enb_for_divinity2

Note you shoul disable the stock HDR in the options, else it won't look right.

ps:
This contains no virus, if you are the secure type... I really have other things to do than writing seriously long texts and uploading files.

Installation:
Dezip archive. Pick "enbseries.ini", "effect.txt" and "d3d9.dll" into Divinity 2\bin (where the divinity2.exe is)

Ingame, hit [SHIFT]-[F12] to disable/enable enb

Destallation:
Delete the copied files...

Have fun

Looks.. nifty, yeah.

Is it just me or are there more people who think that the first screen with the standard Divinity 2 HDR enabled and ENB disabled is the prettiest one of the three :P?

Looks nice but sadly dont have the PC Version.

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion, but remember what I said. I said I kept my settings realistic, not uberbloomed or overcolored, so it's not a bigass difference.

But you're probably the guy not seeing the difference between this:

and this:

Different game, but ENB is working there too.

If you're not seeing it... wow. I'll put you into the same drawer as my friend who didn't recognize the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD.

Well Im not a guy
But ofcourse I see the difference in those screens. And the one with the shadows is definitely more beautiful.

Maybe it's because I'm just used to the way D2 looks, or perhaps I found the caves already too dark ^^

But like you already said, everybody has his or her own opinion..

Links dead =(

Please resend a downloads link.

Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis texture mod (1GB)

NOTE: I don't think this works on either DKS or D2:DC, just the original D2:ED release.


Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for texture pack link!
About mod from topic. ENB will work of any version of game, i launched ENB from GTA SA, Oblivion and Fallout 3 on Divinity 2 DC, but setting in this ENB from topic are best.

Your link is broken, please re-upload it !

In case anyone finds himself here through google, another option (tested and working) is using the reshade setup.exe so as to make divinity2.exe allow for sweetfx injections.
You can have smaa, fxaa or both active (as you know AA is not really 'working' correctly by default, not even in the Div2 dev's cut version), along with everything else the preset offers.

edit: Note that (for me at least) i got it working with sweetfx version 2 preview 8. Not sure if other/newer ones would work. Also needless to say, this is a DX 9.0c game, if your package has a d3d10.dll in it, it's a no go.
If you're new to tweaking sweetfx settings manually, this guide is a very good start:

Am currently giving DivII another go, so was on the look out for possible tweaks. If you find any trouble in doing the above, i could upload the modified executable for you.
