Scrolls through a few pages of comments looking to see if anything might help me figure out why this isn't installing properly only to find out mod is impossible to use atm via workshop and that modder was too lazy to include an addendum or notice about this in his mod description. >.> thanks a ton m8 :UT2004adrenaline::health:FieldMedic:UT2004adrenaline::health:

Would really like to try this Mod, not downloading for me either, Looking forward to that upload to moddb, looked for but didn't see anything, please update the page with link if you upload.

Hey man, I really loved your day/night cycle mod, do you maybe still have those files for just Age of Darkness and Age of Vibrance on a fileshare somewhere? I had to use moddb to install Day/night cycle but that seems to be the only one I can find on there.
ModPositive  [author] 7 Dec, 2016 @ 8:30pm 
@zvr.750- The mod doesn't seem to be downloading. I plan to upload and rerelease the ENB mods and post them to moddb for download (like I did in the day/night cycle mod).

Dude, I tried to install this a lot of times, but when I "subscribe" and go to play, I got to the main menu, then I exit, I come back here and it appears like I never subscribed to you. When I'm "not subscribed" in the game, it looks like I'm subscribed here to your mod. Is there any chance?

oh boy, here we go
BLVZ3R 14 Jun, 2016 @ 1:12am 
Man stop being a fucking idiot and upload night only. Day sucks. AOE2 is a war game, it's supposed to be broody and depressing. Why the fuck would you brighten it? Just upload dark contrast already.
Anonemesis 14 Jun, 2016 @ 12:36am 
Is there a way to keep it night?
ModPositive  [author] 14 Jun, 2016 @ 12:12am 
Hi guys, good news- I've published a Day/Night Cycle ENB, check it out!

Doesn't Work
BLVZ3R 23 Feb, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
@ OP first upload this to fileshare, then worry about ur other enb. i really need this one.
baboon 20 Feb, 2016 @ 5:30pm 
im not sure you can call this "ENHANCEMENT" as in objectively speaking it doesnt enhance anything, just makes shit hard to see and makes sure youll get depression after 5 minutes.
[FOR] Reason 19 Feb, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
@OP - That's great to read and I'm looking forward to see whatever you have planned. I hope it's more of an inbetween though (like my comment below) and thank you for the news update!
ModPositive  [author] 19 Feb, 2016 @ 4:05pm 
Guys, the developers have disabled subscribing to files that don't exist with the game already :/ I'll have to upload the mod to a fileshare. Don't worry, I have backups saved :)

And I have a brand new ENB coming up. I'll post something about it... It's too bad the devs still don't support mods like this.
[FOR] Reason 11 Feb, 2016 @ 11:44pm 
I love the potential of this but a friend & I agree it's too dark. Could you make one that's 50% brighter so that it's inbetween default and full dark?
Earth 24 Dec, 2015 @ 4:17pm 
the mod is great, but it needs just to be a bit more lighter just slightly.
BLVZ3R 7 Dec, 2015 @ 3:07pm 
Hey man, I really wanna use this mod but it won't download... like I keep on repeating steps 4-6 but nothing happens. Is there another way of installing this?
上上善道 7 Nov, 2015 @ 1:49am 
So dark
Papa Jeff 21 Sep, 2015 @ 4:07pm 
This mod looks great, but depressing at the same time. lol
Birdinmotion 29 Jul, 2015 @ 6:29pm 
Perfect for gloomy situations going on in your head!

Viking- The sun hasn't been out in days... Odin's enemies run rampant... My wife works the farm, pondering if our child will survive a ever leave the house... Was that a wolf? My followers have starved in this raid... We stay to the crossroads. Ambushing most anyone who walks our roads. Are... Imperial soldiers! Arm yourselves and prepare to flee if they overpower us! Orders are yelled as loud as the distance between us and the soldiers aloud.
Billwashere 16 Jul, 2015 @ 3:32pm 
That looks cool
UrkelLover2007 3 Jul, 2015 @ 9:23am 
oh ok thank youf or informing me
ModPositive  [author] 2 Jul, 2015 @ 10:23pm 
Hey marshmellowmasta- This mod is not supported in patch 4.0+. I am waiting for the devs to fix this, or else I'll upload it to download manually.
UrkelLover2007 2 Jul, 2015 @ 10:05pm 
Can somebody please help me? I down load the mod but the end file in the game directory is never there.
SeriousToni 10 Jun, 2015 @ 5:54am 
Too dark for me - wow I really need to squeeze my eyes! Is there a lighter version of this maybe?
[Σ] Maxxie 3 Jun, 2015 @ 2:48am 
can you upload it to outside site
GrimDaReaper 24 May, 2015 @ 12:57pm 
love this.... sadly drops my FPS to unplayable.
ModPositive  [author] 3 May, 2015 @ 6:56pm 
@Ultima- did you go through the manual installation procedure above? What error are you seeing?
Didn't work for me and I've tried EVERYTHING, it's not the first time I download workshop things :(
ModPositive  [author] 27 Apr, 2015 @ 10:25pm 
@Dean Tyke-
Yup!
Dean Tyke 27 Apr, 2015 @ 12:02pm 
So, I can install this and all of the mods I have now will be completely unchanged and I can seemlessly turn this off and on in the middle of a game?
ModPositive  [author] 18 Apr, 2015 @ 12:19am 
@Sirmenonot-
I agree! Perhaps someone could make a mod for that and use it in conjunction with this ENB.

@Razzle Dazzle-
This mod keeps the game texture files as is, it only applies post-processing to what you see on the screen to make on-the-fly changes.

@Last Maciota-
Have you tried my Age of Sharpness mod instead? That one preserves the original colors but applies sharpness still.
bassbass 🎏 16 Apr, 2015 @ 4:29pm 
my eyes hurt
Raz 15 Apr, 2015 @ 1:42am 
don't normally like downloading texture changes but I think this one looks really cool. I am curious can people tell me if this slows down the game or can have any negative effects? And I agree with sirmenotot. Glowing fire is very important for this darkness look to feel authentic and not just a filter.
sirmenonot 14 Apr, 2015 @ 10:28pm 
It would be cool if the fire was still bright and kind of had a glow to it.
ModPositive  [author] 13 Apr, 2015 @ 10:48pm 
@Razzle Dazzle- you can turn the mod on and off in game by pressing SHIFT + F12!
Raz 13 Apr, 2015 @ 4:41pm 
I really like the darkness look but I don't want it to take effect in conquerors since I like the retro look. Is there any way to get this mod to apply to Forgotten but conquerors still look the same? if so that would be awesome.
ModPositive  [author] 12 Apr, 2015 @ 11:49pm 
@Iambluelightning -

Thanks! It may be possible to simulate the day/night using the ENB fade in and fade out settings for bloom based on day/night detection (brightness of screen). To set up a smooth fading time dependent day/night cycle, there would be additional work to be done to continuously issue real-time commands to modify the ENB settings. I think it's definitely possible!

@Ozhara-
Thanks. For a more colorful AoE2HD, do check out the Age of Vibrance ENB!

Ozhara 12 Apr, 2015 @ 10:23pm 
Really cool to see a first ENB mod directly for AoE2! :)

I myself prefer a little more saturation (for AoE2, for other games I sometimes used similar ENB mods), but awesome nontheless. :D:
Blue_Lightning 12 Apr, 2015 @ 10:18pm 
Wow man kudos for developing this set of mods! +respect!
I was curious if it was possible to change the mods in real time in such a way so as to simulate day/night cycles in game. Would that be possible?
ModPositive  [author] 12 Apr, 2015 @ 8:10pm 
Hey julianbaba4- I'm sorry that it was too much for your machine to handle! Easiest way is to just delete the files "d3d9.dll", "effect.txt", and "enbseries.ini".
julianbaba4 12 Apr, 2015 @ 8:07pm 
It lags like hell and I like my intros :P
How do I get rid of this mod?
ModPositive  [author] 12 Apr, 2015 @ 5:32pm 
gag2000 thanks for the positive feedback! I'm glad you like it. I have used SweetFX in Farcry 2 and ENB for other games like Skyrim.

AH- let me fix the description about the intro videos, good catch. I will also add the SHIFT + F12 to disable or enable to the descriptions.
gagman 12 Apr, 2015 @ 4:20pm 
SHIFT + F12 disable or enable the effect - is also good to know
i like your sharpnes mod, the difference is fantastic !
gagman 12 Apr, 2015 @ 4:14pm 
First you say enter -nostartup and than no skip intro videos ?
mods also downloading when you bypass the videos btw.
people always just say no bypass the videos to give the people patience (with big mods).

i know ENB from GTA games, as far as i know it not supports all graphic cards.
but nvidia is supportet.

But good work with this ! i used before always SweetFX, but ENB is better. thanks for sharing.
