Description
===========
TES4LODGen is a One-Click DistantLOD Generator.

Installation
============
Not necessary.

Requirements
============
You MUST have HDR enabled. Otherwise it can happen that all distant objects "flash to black" depending on the viewing angle.

Usage
=====
Usage couldn't be easier:

1. Start TES4LODGen.exe - It will automatically find your Data Folder, list of active Modules and Oblivion.ini, load all active modules, load all associated BSAs and generate DistantLOD data for all worldspaces in all active modules.
2. Close the application once it's finished.
3. Play.

REALLY Almost Everything Visible When Distant is highly recommended to get the greatest benefit from TES4LODGen.

Advanced Usage
==============

It is possible to control the processing for each worldspace by creating a plugins.tes4lodgensettings file in the same folder as plugins.txt.

>>>> Example >>>>
;Supported Rules: Skip, Clear, Replace
[Default]
Rule=Replace

[Worldspace]
Toddland=Clear
ToddTestLand2=Skip
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Any worldspace which is not specifically listed will have the Default Rule applied.
