hi, I was wondering how to get els to work with icenhancer. Everytime i install ice it changes the lights to white, does anyone know why icehancer does this (im using 2.0) and where you can fix it??? If someone has a real nice looking set up I would love to try your directory if you like to share with me, thanks

I have recently posted my solution to this in another thread (see quote below), and all you have to do is edit the visualsettings.dat file. It appears white to you because the brightness of the lights are set to very high in the modified visualsettings.dat file that comes with iCEnhancer. It also helps if you turn bloom off, as the lens flare causes you to see distorted colors (not to mention that it is irritating when your lightbars are flashing). I use iCEnhancer 2.0 with ELS and LCPD:FR, and am currently waiting for the latest 2.1 release, which is said to bring an enormous performance overhaul for an ENB mod, as well as compatibility with all versions of GTA IV and EFLC. for examples of my ELS in iCEnhancer.

Assuming you use ELS, for the reflections on the ground and on buildings, you have to play around with the ELS.ini (not ENB.ini) file to change how for and how bright the reflections are:

Range_LightsF = 7 // Range of headlight environment lights

Intens_LightsF = 9 // Intensity headlight environment lights

Range_LightsP = 90 // Range of primary environment lights

Intens_LightsP = 2 // Intensity of primary environment lights

The ENB's own .ini settings file may have additional settings, although I am unsure since I don't use the same one you do. I only know of Neolux's ENBs, of which some are designed to work specifically to work with ELS and contains extra settiings just for ELS.



If you would also like to change the brightness of the lights on the lightbars themselves, are controlled by the file "visualsettings.dat," which is located in "Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IVcommondata." The lines which govern how bright these lights are are as follows (I've edited this file before, and it helps brighten ELS lights in iCEnhancer):

# Other emissive lights

car.extralight.emissive.on 9.00

car.extralight.emissive.off 0.05

You have to play around with the numbers to get it to a brightness that is suitable for you and for the ENB that you use.

Hope that helps!
