Open console ~ saveini = Intresting read! : V

Saw this mentioned in another thread so i gave it a shot.....WOW
The in-game generated INI is massive. Does the game use this INI or not? I pulled some interesting things out of it ...lol @ last line.

Spoiler

bFileSkipModelChecks=0

[ScreenSplatter]

[LANGUAGE]
sFailureMessage=Something is broken

The original INI had 41 lines in it. After open console and type "saveini" my ini has 1,454 lines !!! Try it ...lol@last line!!
Off to test some things......

Edit:
Save your INI in a differant location for a back-up . I just now notice the main menu logo is a weird color now. Still testing.>>Fixed see below

IF you generate an ini you WILL have a Red overlay on the menu. to remove it find these lines and remove.

Fix red logo:
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,0,0

Another oddity is the Map will be real Ugly. Snow and mountains look bad. to Fix, Remove these lines and Save the INI.

Fix map uglies

fMapMenuOverlaySnowScale=0.0000
fMapMenuOverlayScale=0.0000

bEssentialTakeNoDamage=1

Turn off for super hardcoe mode.

» Mon May 28, 2012 2:14 am

Ohh, new ini settings to mess with nice find!

» Mon May 28, 2012 9:12 am

any more found out about this?is this legit?

I don't have the time to test All of the different settings now ...but I just did verify that changes made to the Generated INI DO in fact show up .

Tested:
[Menu]
iConsoleSizeScreenPercent=40

Changed to 10 and then 80 and the console did as asked....lol

So Yes. Generate your own if you don't believe me.

bEssentialTakeNoDamage=1

Turn off for super hardcoe mode.

OMG that would be worse then hardcoe!!!!!

bEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1
bUseSunbeams=1

I tested these, and neither worked. bEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1 would be so awesome.

» Mon May 28, 2012 4:35 am

bEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1
bUseSunbeams=1

I tested these, and neither worked. bEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1 would be so awesome.

well then what is it there for?

» Mon May 28, 2012 4:23 pm

There is also a debuging setting for vats still in there. But try them bEquippedTorchesCastShadows=1 and see if it works for you.

» Mon May 28, 2012 3:22 pm

unfinished features?

Weird finding #1:

iRenderingThread2HWThread=1
iRenderingThread1HWThread=0

^^^^Default^^^^

When you change both to 1, it changes the... color?

Here are two comparison screenshots.

Ps; The times aren't changing, they are maybe a few seconds apart so it's not the weather.

weather can change suddenly in skyrim

tested with this one:

bAllow30Shaders=1 (default 0)

besides some red light on the items in the loading screen, it seems to work, at least for me and it looks really good

Edit:
Another interesting part (remember the "Morrowind FPS Optimizer" Tool ?)
iAutoViewMinDistance=2000
iAutoViewHiFrameRate=40
iAutoViewLowFrameRate=20
bAutoViewDistance=1 (default = 0)

it's a bit fast in switching sometimes, but it seems to work

Looks good? Whats different?

When I savini, i get red loading screen items by default, even if i dont touch the settings.

Not 1-2 seconds apart, lol. Trust me, it's not the weather. Try it yourself.

Happens to me as well, I deem it normal.

so how do we find this expanded ini.? type the save ini command in game in the console , then these additional ini lines appear in the skyrimprefs.ini?

The correct thing to type in the console is "saveini", not "save ini". And they will appear in Skyrim.ini. The .ini is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim

Oh, and setting
[ScreenSplatter]
bBloodSplatterEnabled=1
to 0 does what you'd expect. Removes the "strawberry jelly" effect when you get hit. But it makes my game CTD when I open the map.

HI,

Was without internet for a couple days......but that gave a little time to find out some things....

Anyone that has RED dragon on the Menu...Read..

This took me some time to find....1400+ lines of ini settings and it comes down to these few lines.

Fix red logo......Remove these lines > Save . NOW you will have a normal logo!!

rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,0,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,0,0

Also the MAP is messed up to fix that remove these lines..> Save.

Fix map uglies

fMapMenuOverlaySnowScale=0.0000
fMapMenuOverlayScale=0.0000

Still Testing but things do work....I can not stop the Vanity camera from being used BUT i can set it for say 1 hour ....lol Instead of the Default of 2 mins!

bumping for discussion

» Mon May 28, 2012 12:25 pm

I'd be interested in changing the mist color on the main menu to a nice, green tint. Is that possible? Would this do it....
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZPosRGB=0,25,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientZNegRGB=0,25,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYPosRGB=0,25,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientYNegRGB=0,25,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXPosRGB=0,25,0
rUIMistMenu_AmbientXNegRGB=0,25,0

I'm totally guessing.

That didn't seem to work. :shrug:

» Mon May 28, 2012 12:30 pm

Would it be possible to just add 1 or 2 of these lines into the current Skyrim.ini without having to go into the game and do the saveini console command?
