@Agresif There are two different readme files, a description page, a forum full of helpful people and three videos where I explain it in depth. I am not sure what else needs explaining or how I could possibly explain it anymore without doing house calls.
I really like your skyrim videos, you are easy to follow, you pick up usefull information even if I know most of it already though you have brought up a couple of cool mods, you are clearly worth a subscribtion :)
Is it possible to add in heart beats when your health is low and your character gasping for air when stamina is low? I think if you added this there is no need for a health bar or a stamina bar.
Fantastic mod, just started playing Skyrim and your mod makes it x100 more immersive, How do you have your compass settings? not sure if i should have location and/or quests enabled
Good job mate it's a good idea. Not personally what I wanna use but I watched your video and it's a good effort and decent mod. Even though I won't use it I'll still give ya nexus +1 Endorsement
sorry got another question, you mention it doesn't work with other HuD altering mods. Will it work with HuD graphic overhaul mods, such as SkyUI? I feel it would since its just an artwork change as far as I'm aware. But I would like a yes or no (or try at own risk) before I screw anything up. If you do know that they are compatible, will I have to install one first then the other?
Quick question. Can you disable unknown location markers while keeping known locations on the compass? I miss the days in Morrowind where I actually had to find places instead of finding them whilst being a mile away, but I would still like to have known locations pinpointed.
Also maybe an option to make it so unknown locations only appear when within 40 feet or so?
@Bankay89 The game briefly fights the mod for control. I am aware of the issue and fixing that will be very easy. Will be done for the next release, which will be sometime after christmas :)
I think this mod would be great if you made the crosshair and compass fade smoother like the magicka, health, and stamina bars. Anyway, very good mod.
@ poster..Any mods u know of that gives more action? i dont like quest n the land is bare imo of things to kill.ive stopped playing the game after 2 weeks from being bored,hate the pause to get a spell,and i seem way over powered to be lvl 24. so im looking for some load n str8 into action gameplay...ty
@GophersVids question about the mod. w/o the creation kit, can't you set the compass to sprint so that instead of appearing with stamina but when the sprint button is hit
I bought Skyrim yesterday and installed it this morning, and so far I have to say Im kind of disappointed as I'm not getting as much out of it as I thought I would. I'm new to PC gaming and modding and I have it on the 360, but only recently bought a gaming PC. We have an i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz, 8GB 1600MHz RAM and a 6950 2GB GPU with a SSD. For some reason, despite all these specs, with a few mods I'm only getting about 30-20FPS maxed out. Is that normal? I thought this machine would eat this game.
@Renax111 True but Skyrim does not have 'iron sights' equivelents for bow or spells and until it does, total realism is not possible. For dual wield spellls it is ok as there is no way to sight down both arms at once, but for single cast spells and bows, we really really need someone to make an 'iron sights' mod. *I put iron sights in quotes because I realise they would be wood (bows) or flesh (spells) sights really :)
@Renax111 Yes I am expecting one to work in a game like this, and yes I expect it to work more like it does in real life. I expect the arrow to fly in the direction it is pointing for a start :)
iHud is an awesome mod. I can only imagine what you'll do once the creation kit arrives next year. Thanks for all your work with this mod. I use it all the time now and I don't think I could go back to the "vanilla" Skyrim UI.
Great work with this. One thing I don't get though, is why you want a crosshair at all, when you seem to strive for realism and immersion when you play. For me, a crosshair completely kills the realism, which is why I've decided to switch it off. In my opinion it's more fun to aim without any assists.
It looks almost like you're using a dynamic depth of field in this video. Which version of the Enhanced Shaders are you using and are you using MSIafterburner with Skyrim? :)
The Beta version of this mod did not work for me but this works just fine, thanks for the hard work on the great mod bro! love your vids, they are of such a high quality and detail and everybody can tell. Keep it up bro!
@Shruikan101 I get asked this a lot and you guys are all going to be disappointed because when making videos I turn off the visual mods I usually use because when taking video with FRAPs it drops the fps quite a lot. What you saw in this video was just the FXAA post process injector. I tweaked the settings slightly (0.3 saturation).
@Shruikan101 I don't think it looks particularly beautiful, looks pretty much the same as my game did without any modifications, just everything turned up to the maximum running at 1050p.
He's probably using the enhanced shadows modification or something, but it hardly makes a difference to be honest.
skyrim nexus in google. register for free download mods. I use a few and my skyrim looks bloody good. I use Skyrim HD 1.1, Skyrim Flora Repack(trees,grass,etc) Skyrim realistic shaders mod, skyrim realistic water mod, skyrim detailed blood mod and I also use a post process injector to get rid of the stupid auto contrast brightness bullshit.... If you don't know what your doing use the mod manager and just read the instructions for anything first.
@sholmesbrown Whoa does it result in any performance loss? :O..how many fps does all these mods eat up? And hey could you show your FXAA post process injector tweaks?? :D..sorry I am just a 15yr ol newb who needs help?..I really want to know the tweaks you use xD
@TheWitchking123 The main stress is on your Video memory. The more you have the more high res textures you can put in. The FXAA post injector is no fps loss it's just a color shader that works better. Go to SKYRIM NEXUS. Register for free. Instructions are easy just overwrite data folder in skyrim DIR. Make a backup of the DATA folder before you add any mods in case in stuffs up. The FXAA injector is 1 DIR and a few files it installs auto it's made just for skyrim exe file.
@TheWitchking123 There is a few preset folders included for FXAA injector. Just go into them and copy files and DIR inside over the top of the one installed in your skyrim folder if you wanna try the other presets out. You can ALT+TAB out to the FXAA injector if you run it before you start skrim and make changes then ALT+TAB twice back into skyrim and see the changes as you make them. I just use PRESET 1 choose when you install but PRESET 3 is also very pretty.
@Shruikan101 And a bunch of NPC HD repacks and weapon HD repacks. Basicly anything I could get together I put together so I have pretty much every texture on screen redone in HD in fact I even have a realistic sky mod with HD stellar photography from telescopes :D Very nice looking night sky looks so real (since it is lol)
I fucking love you. : ) Thanks for the mod good sir.
