TESReloaded

TESReloaded is a custom made graphical extender for Bethesda games Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim, developped by Alenet and maintained by Llde.

It overrides the rendering pipeline to inject various effects that can be completely configured.

It relies on the script Extender of each game, such as xOBSE or xNVSE. The script extender must be installed first.

Configuration

To activate/Deactivate each effect, press O in game to bring up the menu. Navigate the menu with the arrow keys, and activate/deactivate effects and increase/decrease effect values with the numpad +/- keys.

The configuration is stored in the .dll.config file and can be edited directly with a text editor.

Building from source

To build, with Visual Studio 2019 (Community Edition) with Desktop Development librairies, Windows SDK and DirectX9 SDK installed, run the build.bat file in command line, with the following command:

build.bat "ProjectName" "C:/DeployFolder/"

• "Project Name" can be either OblivionReloaded or NewVegasReloaded.
• The second argument is optional, and can be used to copy the built library to the game folder or (preferably) to a mod folder managed by Mod Organizer 2. Otherwise, the built files can be found in the /build/ folder at the root, to be copied manually.

---

Installation

First Make sure that xOBSE/xNVSE is installed.

The files from the built folder must be then copied into the game Data folder.

To use a mod manager, create a zip with the contents of the /build/ folder and drag & drop it into the mod list.

It can be helpful to create a separate mod with only the .config file to try different settings.

Troubleshooting

If the mod loaded properly, a message will appear at the bottom of the title screen with the version number. If not, try reinstalling directX or the directX SDK.

TESReloaded is not compatible with the following mods:

• ENB

If you want extra control over the look of your game, use Reshade which is compatible.

• Improved Lighting Shaders

Problem: Big areas covered in broken shaders results in bright blue surfaces.

Solution: Remove the TESReloaded Shaders with "SLS" in the name, as they are the source of the conflict. Only post process shadows will be working.

• Enhanced Camera

Problem: Crash when loading a game.

Solution: Disable "First Person Shadow" setting in Enhanced Camera .ini.
