2007
A person known as Timeslip starts a journey creating an OBSE plugin called Oblivion Graphics Extender. OBGE adds extra functionality to Oblivion's scripting language, focusing on the implementation and manipulation of graphics effects and adding support for fullscreen shaders. OBGE enters Oblivion code and is able to manage the post processing pipeline. But the trip is not finished....
2009
Scanti and shadeMe are the names of the continuation of the Timeslip's work on expanding the functionality of the Oblivion's scripting language about the rendering pipeline and making Oblivion to look better using a variety of graphical effects. They implement the OBGE and focus on the creation of various post-processing effects to improve Oblivion's graphics. One of the main goals is to replace the Oblivion's water with the Tomerk work. Months passed to create a shader so exceptional. But limits to overcome are still many....
2011
Is he a genius? Is he crazy? Is he Ethatron? Yes!
Like a bowling ball on skittles, Ethatron enters the Gamebryo's engine with a deep hook releasing the OBGE v3. He realizes the shader's replacement method and the possibility to enable modifications of the entire Oblivion's rendering pipeline in addition to improving the post process rendering pipeline. But he writes so much code and implementations that while Oblivion is becoming better on a side, on the other one, bugs are still here and performance is dropping. He leaves and the work is abandoned for 3 years....
2014
Alenet reads the entire OBGE source code. It takes great effort: from a side, the OBGE's source code, big and incomplete, very complex and singular, on the other the Oblivion interpretation; no one to ask, all developers have left. Alenet's great experience in developing is streched to a max. The idea is to create a plugin that collects the great features of OBGE, while breaking the OBGE's limitations and bugs, and in addiction, including a series of other functionality whose purpose is removing limits from Oblivion that today have no reason to exist.
Like the phoenix rising from ashes, OBGE lives once again: Oblivion Reloaded was born, the result of the story of developers like TimeSlip, Scanti, ShadeMe and Ethatron and now the Alenet's ability.
2015
And so...the year is gone and the OR's development is near to the end. Alenet restructures, rewrites and finishes one of the biggest mod of the TES story. From the graphics, to the dual combat, new camera mode for a great game immersion, and many other features. Nights and nights to find the best way to apply changes to the code keeping it clean and linear.
2016
Oblivion Reloaded is completed. Now it is the time.........for Skyrim!!
HAVE FUN!
A special thank to ShadeMe, the "sheriff" of the Oblivion's modding world and to the OBSE team: Ian Patterson (ianpatt), Stephen Abel (behippo), Paul Connelly (scruggsywuggsy the ferret); people who, together to Bethesda, have made the history of this video game.
