DynamicConfig

Version: 1.3.0

by: gamecreature, Swizzy

This plugin tweaks the graphics configuration depending on combat status.
When in combat mode, the graphics quality is turned down, so the game is more responsive.
When not in combat the quality is turned higher for a better environment experience.

Code can be found on github:
https://github.com/gamecreature/eso-dynamic-config

An experimental version can be found on this github link:
https://github.com/Swizzy/eso-dynamic-config

Known Issues
* Subsampling quality switching results in hiccups on some machines (both windows and MAC)!! (turn this option off if you don't want this)

v1.3.0
* Updated to the new API version (Update 5)
* Converted the settings menu to LibAddonMenu2

v1.2.0
* Updated to API version 1.2.3

v1.1.1

v1.1.0

* Added buttons to enable/disable all variables aswell as reset defaults
* Added the ability to manually configure each variable (live editing!)
* Added slash command to toggle auto combat on/off (auto on and auto off)
* Added keybinding to toggle auto combat on/off (a single button to toggle it on or off, a message will be displayed as to which state it's changed to)

v1.0.10

BTW, this isn't showing up on minion and it might because of the _MACOSX extraneous directory and the directory name of "eso-dynamic-config copy" <--note the space I think you want a single non-spaced directory at the root and then it shows up under minion for installing automated; something like: "DynamicConfig" Last edited by choekstr : 05/05/14 at 12:08 PM.

Elesar Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	Jarco, If you want to test in-game you can use the /commands as follows: /dynconf up - sets to the high quality settings /dynconf down - sets to the low quality settings With the default values of the addon, I only notice 2-3 FPS difference. I have also added in changing Particle Density and View Distance on mine, and get around a 10 FPS change while testing in Riften in the workshop with 20+ PCs/NPCs in view. EDIT: Pull request submitted on GitHub with my changes Last edited by Elesar : 05/08/14 at 08:26 AM.

Jarco Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	@Elesar: Thank you. However after testing it does not seem to be working at all. Nothing is changing, nothing in the settings when i do /dynconf down changes and my fps stays the same no matter what. Not sure if i am doing something wrong but the addon is listed as running... Note: i am running sweetfx, could it be blocking it somehow? Last edited by Jarco : 05/08/14 at 08:45 AM.

Elesar Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	@Jarco, To see if it is taking effect: Make note of your graphics settings in the settings window. Close the settings window. Do /dynconf down. Open the settings window and check settings. Most of the settings won't have a drastic visual change, but you should notice a slight change in your average FPS after a couple seconds. The OP just merged my changes on GitHub, so you may see a few new settings to tweak in a bit. (Particle Density & View Distance). With the addition of those two settings, and on my system, I have about a 10FPS difference between the high and low profiles. I haven't looked at sweetfx yet, so I don't know how that would affect the functionality of this mod. EDIT: Please note that you should also see a message in chat when the settings are changed. If you are not seeing any message, the addon is not firing properly. Does it show up in your addons list in-game? Last edited by Elesar : 05/08/14 at 09:11 AM.

I went through and added a few more settings changes to have it make more of a difference. I see a visual quality difference as soon as battle starts and then it gets sharper and better looking as soon as combat indicates it is over. It is noticeable for me but perhaps because I got more aggressive with the settings. Plus you get spammed in chat when it is going up and down (another thing commented out to keep chat clean).

Here are my down settings:

Code:

    SetCVar('SUB_SAMPLING',0)
    SetCVar('AMBIENT_OCCLUSION',0)
    SetCVar('ANTI_ALIASING_v2', 0)
    SetCVar('BLOOM', 0)
    SetCVar('SHADOWS', 0)
    SetCVar('HIGH_RESOLUTION_SHADOWS', 0)
    SetCVar('REFLECTION_QUALITY_v3', 0)
    SetCVar('LENS_FLARE', 0)
    SetCVar('GOD_RAYS_v2', 0)
    SetCVar('MAX_ANISOTROPY', 0)
    SetCVar('DIFFUSE_2_MAPS', 0)
    SetCVar('DETAIL_MAPS', 0)
    SetCVar('NORMAL_MAPS', 0)
    SetCVar('SPECULAR_MAPS', 0)

And my up settings:

Code:

    SetCVar('SUB_SAMPLING',2)
    SetCVar('AMBIENT_OCCLUSION',0)
    SetCVar('ANTI_ALIASING_v2', 1)
    SetCVar('BLOOM', 1)
    SetCVar('SHADOWS', 1)
    SetCVar('HIGH_RESOLUTION_SHADOWS', 1)
    SetCVar('REFLECTION_QUALITY_v3', 1)
    SetCVar('LENS_FLARE', 1)
    SetCVar('GOD_RAYS_v2', 1)
    SetCVar('MAX_ANISOTROPY', 2)
    SetCVar('DIFFUSE_2_MAPS', 1)
    SetCVar('DETAIL_MAPS', 1)
    SetCVar('NORMAL_MAPS', 1)
    SetCVar('SPECULAR_MAPS', 1)

Once I verify it is all good and stable, Ill submit a pull request to have gamecreature add it into the official mod. OFC, if you have GitHub, you can submit a pull request too @gamecreature I may look into a settings screen if I get some extra time, so that we can set high/low profiles and toggle the settings from there or via /command.

Absolutely you may add these and is why I shared it. Also realize, I have my "quality up" and "quality down" commented out so it doesn't spam my chat window and is denoted with the -- in my code example below. Everyone should note this and remove if you want the notifications after having cut and paste my bit. Now that I think about it, I think I'll edit that post and remove that line so it doesn't remove stock functionality. It should be a toggle in the settings page when you build the libaddonmenu portion.

Another point I should mention is that with all these graphical settings changing regularly there are some graphical anomalies that show up for a couple seconds after going up. They clear up within seconds but it is artifacting and ghosting that occurs for my video card (ATI). It might or might not affect others but realize this is something I live with to eek out the few extra FPS.

Lastly, I have my up section leaving out ambient occlusion so if you want that turned on replace the 0 with a 1 in the up section.

Elesar Forum posts: 0 File comments: 16 Uploads: 0	@choekstr Awesome, Ill do some testing tonight and submit the request. I have added a setting (just a variable at the top) to enable/disable the chat notifications, and am throwing around the idea of restricting the application of high settings to only occur if you are out of combat for a set amount of time (10 seconds or so). This would help reduce the frequency of graphics settings changes quite a bit, and may also reduce the possibility of graphical anomalies. If I get really bored this weekend, I may look at implementing a settings screen for all of this....maybe. Last edited by Elesar : 05/08/14 at 10:31 AM.

Agreed. make it a constant at the top though so we can adjust it to fine tune it. If you DO implement a settings window throw the timeout in there as well so it can be easily adjusted in there for other users who are afraid of touching the .lua file.

Thanks for picking this up and helping out. I find this a very nice add-on since I am at the edge of my graphics card capabilities and running at 2560x1600 is always tough when lots of crap is going on and the framerates drop.

It really would be nice to have a settings screen or at least make the settings configurable with a /command.

Perhaps it would be nice to have the following commands:

/dynconf store high
/dynconf store low

Which simply stores the current settings as the default low and high settings.
This shouldn't be very hard I guess
