A little bit about.
For starters, let's find out what is this modification and what it does.
ENBSeries is a mod that changes the graphics. Yes, it is thanks to this modification, the graphics in the game can pull at times, however, it should be noted that the ENB eats a lot of resources graphics, so many users can't find both beautiful and productive. for your PC. Resulting in no graphics, no fun...
Incidentally, the original author of this mod is a citizen of Russia - Boris Vorontsov. It was the first to connect additional effects for GTA San Andreas in the distant 2007.
Let's tune modifications
1) To start download from official website of the developer ENBSeries'and the most fashion and then copy this files in the game folder. All mod already connected the game, it only remains to configure.
For the configuration modifications You have to work with the files d3d9.dll and ENBSeries.ini.
d3d9.dll is, roughly speaking, a library that enables the effects to the game. They vary, because some have the effect of a Bump, i.e. bump mapping.
Put simply, the earth's surface will look "wet". (This effect is by default present in v0.075c, v0.076 versions, but you can't disable it. However, in later versions it can be disable and enable in the ENBSeries.ini). But alas, this effect does not work in SA-MP and is very very demanding on the PC.
ENBSeries.ini - text file with which to work. If you think that's difficult, actually, no. Just substitute the numbers. (By the way, 1 means to connect one or the other effect, and 0 to disable. But! If the line is the word "Quality", ie the quality, it's the opposite. 1 - worse 0 better.
2) Open Notepad file Enbseries.ini, which is located in the root folder with the game. And then I will paint what parameter is responsible for what.
[PROXY]
EnableProxyLibrary=(0,1) use of loading external library mod when you start the game. Helps to solve the problem of several d3d9.dll files.
InitProxyFunctions=(0,1) when loading third-party libraries to connect to its functions.
ProxyLibrary=(filename) the file name of third-party libraries.
[GLOBAL]
UseEffect=(0,1) activate mod at start of the game instead of switching keys. Depending on the game interface elements or movies may be corrupted visually, but in some cases, you may need.
AlternativeDepth=(0,1) allows to increase the speed of some effects, but not all video cards support this feature, if the objects are visible broad lines, deactivate this mode.
AllowAntialias=(0,1) allows the use of rendering effects antialiasing settings of the game (antialiasing, multisampling, fsaa, FSAA in other words).
BugFixMode=(0..5) every value intended to bypass incompatibilities and errors. Values from 0 to 5 is formats HDR textures used in effects, which affects the speed and quality. For drivers forceware 169.xxx and 171.xx is not recommended to set the parameter to 1 because of a critical error to work with R32F textures. Values: 0 (R32G32F)-quality and average speed, 1 (R32F)-high quality and speed, 2 (A32R32G32B32F)-quality and low speed, 3 (R16F)-low quality and the fastest, 4 (R16G16F)-low quality and fast, 5 (A16R16G16B16F)-low quality and average speed.

3) Additional effects. Timecyc, Colormode and Shader's.
Timecyc Is the file responsible for the color of the sky and the lighting in the game. Is located in the folder Data. It is very important, because the original Timecyc has terrible lighting, causing the cars in the game blacked out. You can either configure or download a pre-configured.
New Timecyc, ie the color of the sky in the game
Shader is an additional effects connected to the game. Mainly work on the basis of the Asi script. To install in the game folder.
An example of a modification that adds water on the basis of Shader'and
Colormod is an optional effect, editing the gamma in the game. Based on ASI script. To install in the game folder.
Example of setting Colormod'and in the style of GTA IV
4) Work in SA-MP.
Well, it's a sin to deny it, but most players do not play the original game, and network. However, not all settings ENBSeries'and work in SA-MP. It happens because Shader's connected to fashion. Therefore, I recommend You to install ASI plugin SAMP Graphic Restore he fixes these bugs.
Well, that's all. I hope this article was useful to you!
