ENB: How can I get nice dark nights?

[redeyesandlonghair]

Hey guys, I've been going around, googling, posting on forums, desperately trying to get someone anyone to explain to me what I have to change in my enb settings to make nights realistically dark.  Currently, my nights are stupidly bright, and I hate it.  I want bright sunny days, and dark dark nights.  So does anyone know and would take a moment to tell me how I can do that?

You could try making a few changes to the enbseries.ini file. Not quite sure the exact line that you need to change but there should be different brightness settings for day/night.

I tried messing with enbsettings.ini, but everytime I tried to change something that seemed related... nothing even happened in game >_<

One of these has dark nights:

I don't know which because I don't like dark nights and deleted it and just didn't like the other one better than what I've got already so they're both gone.

try playing with these to start

 

[sKY]

StarsIntensity=

AuroraBorealisIntensity= 

 

[ENVIRONMENT]

AmbientLightingIntensityNight= 

 

when you get those near where you want, then start with the Curves and Desaturations. Clouds are in there too.

 

Ambient - overall illumination 

Point      - torches and candles

Specular - glosssyness

Direct     - uhh idk lol

I tried all of those.. even tried turning them down as far as I could...the darkness didn't even change slightly.  Wondering if there's something wrong with my enb...

[redeyesandlonghair]

Okay just found out the wierdest thing.  THe exterior values don't change anything.  However, the Interior values seem to adjust it for both interiors and exteriors...weird but I'll take it \( O _ o)/

@redeyesandlonghair

 

There are two ways to do that, one from enbseries.ini and enbeffect.fx.

 

 

ENBSERIES.INI:

DirectLightingXXXNight=x.x (moon light)

AmbientLightingXXXNight=x.x (ambient/shadow brightness)

 

 

ENBEFFECT.FX

it's the post processing engine, the core engine of the ENB. Each ENB setting use different processing engine.
