1. About
*****************************************************************************
Realistic Dazzling Sun is an Oblivion mod that mimics the effect of
temporal glare experienced when looking towards the sun.
It does this by using a high-contrast colour image to add
colour fringes to the sky-glow. It works best in conjunction
with the OBGE colour effects (HLSL and SSAO), and
complements Godrays well.

N.B.: never stare directly at the sun, unless it's a virtual one!

2. Installation
*****************************************************************************

Before you start, you might want to save a backup copy
of the original sun, the file is in your Textures\sky folder:
e.g. C\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\Textures\sky
simply rename the file to sunglare_bak
*****************************************************************************

Copy the Textures folder from your chosen version
folder and paste it into your ...\Oblivion\Data\ directory,
clicking yes to replace/merge when asked.
*****************************************************************************

IMPORTANT!!!
Next, change the SunGlare size settings in
the Oblivion settings.

1. Locate the Oblivion.ini file
(usually in \MyDocuments\MyGames\Oblivion)
2. !!! Make a copy !!! and rename it (e.g. Oblivion_bak.ini)
3. Open up the Oblivion.ini file and change these
values:

fSunGlareSize=80
fSunBaseSize=225

You can always tweak these values to make the sun
bigger or brighter... just ensure you save a backup copy!


4. Save changes, close the file, and load up Oblivion.

3. Known Issues / Compatability
*****************************************************************************

Dazzling Sun only replaces the sunglare.dds file, and as far as I
know will only conflict with other sun mods that replace this.
