ArcheAge Graphics Mod - Environment Mod (SEE DESCRIPTION FOR 6.0)

EDIT3: 6.0 and Unchained update is now available.

This is an update on the Environment Mod for 4.5.

2019 EDIT2: I removed the Bloom and Font mod from the pack since they do not work in 6.0 anymore. However, I included the cvar for bloom in Optionals, so take a look there if you want to adjust bloom levels.

From my tests, the 4.5 Environment Mod still works on 6.0 Legacy. It seems to work on Unchained according to others, but consider the risks more carefully as Unchained is B2P. I will release an official update for 6.0 once I'm able to obtain Unchained.

As a side note, vegetation physics works again in ArcheAge, but is not enabled by default. You can enable it without using a mod, just add this cvar to your system.cfg.

e_phys_foliage = 2

So to begin with, the ArcheAge Environment Mod is a mod that tries to show ArcheAge's environment in its full glory. This includes increased view distances for things like vegetation, a change for more consistent textures, etc. It uses the same process as other mods like the FOV mod, KR Font mod, etc.

This mod assumes you run ArcheAge on max settings with DX11 enabled and has only tested with that configuration.

By using this mod, you take the risk of being banned like all other mods. Gamigo has taken the same stance as Trion on modding. They do not officially approve any mod, but will turn a blind eye as long as it's not abused and has no conflicts with EAC. I've tried to make sure there aren't any game-breaking features in this mod and haven't been banned in all the years I've used it, but please be aware of the risks. This mod has only been tested on the NA/EU region, it has been reported to receive bans in RU and on the ArcheRage private server.

Please note that this is the only place where I have released the mod, so if you get it anywhere else, there's no guarantee that it hasn't been modified or tampered with.

EDIT: I realized that although I describe how the mod folders should be placed in the README, it might be easier with a visual. This is an example of how your mods should be arranged.
