Mstql and Funwayguy have updated this mod to 1.6.4(and beyond) and will be the future maintainers of this mod. Anyone who is interested in downloading it should head over there.
The information in my old post may not be entirely relevant to their updates, so don't depend on it.

Info Update(new 7/29/13):
Community Request:
I'm still looking for an artist to do a Horror, Retro, and RPG theme pack. I have a decent Comic pack, but a dedicated Cartoon pack would be nice as well. Contact me here through a PM or on my Skype at Sonicjumper0 or on my twitter @SonicjumperHD.
GLOW UPDATE!
Sneak peeks:
When having a low amount of health(less than 3 and 1/2 hearts) your screen will flicker gray
Upon taking damage your character will "flinch"
Pictures:
I'm recreating the mod, so the old pictures are no longer relevant. I'll post some new ones soon.
My goals for the next update are as follows:1. Decrease file size(some of you have been complaining). This is mainly due to my sloppiness of leaving in unused textures or using excessively large textures for the mod. I might split the download into 2 separate(one HD and one LD) for those of you who don't like better quality(which comes with a larger file size).2. Re-calculate all splats. I have decided that they get in the way too often than they are useful. After playing Skyrim one night I noticed how subtle the "splats" are on that game. I'll model blood and water splats a little more like that from now on.3. Sun flares! A lot of requests for this one. I'll find out some way to do this as best as I can, if not better.4. Altered low-health monitor. The animation for having low health will now be used to show a rapid decrease in health. So if you are injured very quickly it will flare up faster and stronger than if you are injured slower.5. Grayscale and blur low-health monitor. This has been requested a few times, but I have also seen it on other video games(such as the dayZ mod). Getting this to work might take a while, but I should be able to invest the time to do it.6. Multiplayer support. If I had a penny every time someone asked me about this, I would have a freaking lot of pennies. It will get done eventually, but I want it to actually work when it is done. If this takes more time, so be it.7. Underwater blur. This has also been requested a lot. It will mainly be modeled after Far Cry's water effect, but that's all the info I can give away now.8. Sound effects. This is a vague feature as of now, but the possibilities are growing. I hope to include option support for different voices/noises if you guys want that.9. In-game options. I know how annoying it is to deal with config files, I'll start putting my smarts to work and get an in-game thing set up for ya'll.10. "Face-wiping"? Possibly a feature. Just an easy way to clean your screen by pressing a certain key on your keyboard.11. Blinking. Another "could-be" feature. An addition to realism, so I would love to put it in if I get around to it.Anyway, all this and maybe more should be coming out sooner rather than later, but I cannot promise anything with my busy schedule. My job takes up a lot of time, but I'll try my best to make this amazing mod for all of you great supporters.
Config File:The new config file contains several values and looks like this with all defaults. It is fairly self-explanatory.# Configuration file##################### general####################general { # This 'fills in' the gaps left by the current theme pack S:"Backup Theme Pack"=DefaultTheme # Increase only if you think your computer can handle it. Decrease if you want to keep blurs, but are having lag. D:"Blur Quality"=0.25 # Change this to the file name of any theme pack you have installed S:"Current Theme Pack"=DefaultTheme # Enable this to have blur filters render B:"Render Blur Flag"=false # Enable this to have better glows B:"True Glow Flag"=false}
Snapshot Details(Read before installing snapshot):I will be providing snapshots every 3 to 4 days of a working version of the mod. By "working" I mean it won't crash under normal circumstances and the features in it should be relatively stable. This is by no means a representation of my progress, as I have made a lot of that, but I cannot release it to the public without putting the finishing touches on some features and refurbishing others.Anyway, back to the snapshots. They will be provided through a mediafire link, so you shouldn't have any troubles downloading them. Make sure to pay attention to any build specific instructions otherwise you will probably break something. Thanks to the new Minecraft launcher you can look at the development console to see any information my mod is showing you.Features of this snapshot:Brand spanking new render engine; way more freaking efficient than the old one(don't even ask how bad it was), so not as much lag should occurEvent-based rendering; this should get rid of any flickering issues there may have been beforeNew approach; the visuals should be less intrusive now, more ambience than an active featureThe only working visuals are blood, water, dust, low health, damage, and potions.Low-end shaders such as blurs are included in the snapshots and may be part of the finished product.Things I know about so don't tell me they are broken:Visuals remain on-screen while switching worldsIf you want a to-do list:Mess with the config and blur settings and tell me what works best for your computerI need to have multiplayer and LAN worlds testedJust play the game normally and tell me if anything weird happensINSTRUCTIONS - MUST READ OR DIE:Download the snapshot from the download belowPut it into your mods folder like any other forge modNow, UNZIP it to the mods directory, then remove/delete/get rid of the .zip fileThe result should be a folder with a similar name to the .zip file with two folders in it, "mods" and "assets"If your mods folder looks like I said, then you are good and the mod should run, knock yourself out and make sure to report any bugs/glitches/etc. to me either here or in a PMOh yeah, press that button in the bottom right corner of this post if you want more snapshots; they actually take time to process out.This is what it looks like on a mac. It's basically the same for all OS's though.Mods folder:EnhancedVisualsMod folder:
