Since we'll be adding additional settings in the near future and the list is already getting very long, I figured I would group these like we do on the "Miscellaneous" tab.
<string><html><head/><body><p>By default, the fog becomes thicker proportionally to your distance from the clipping plane set at the clipping distance, which causes distortion at the edges of the screen.
This setting makes the fog use the actual eye point distance (or so called Euclidean distance) to calculate the fog, which makes the fog look less artificial, especially if you have a wide FOV.</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>Normally environment map reflections aren't affected by lighting, which makes environment-mapped (and thus bump-mapped objects) glow in the dark.
Morrowind Code Patch includes an option to remedy that by doing environment-mapping before applying lighting, this is the equivalent of that option.
<string><html><head/><body><p>Affects side and diagonal movement. Enabling this setting makes movement more realistic.</p><p>If disabled then the whole character's body is pointed to the direction of view. Diagonal movement has no special animation and causes sliding.</p><p>If enabled then the character turns lower body to the direction of movement. Upper body is turned partially. Head is always pointed to the direction of view. In combat mode it works only for diagonal movement. In non-combat mode it changes straight right and straight left movement as well. Also turns the whole body up or down when swimming according to the movement direction.</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>Load per-group KF-files and skeleton files from Animations folder</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>If true, use paging and LOD algorithms to display the entire terrain. If false, only display terrain of the loaded cells.</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>Use casting animations for magic items, just as for spells.</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>Makes NPCs and player movement more smooth. Recommended to use with "turn to movement direction" enabled.</p></body></html></string>

<string><html><head/><body><p>If this option is enabled, specular maps are automatically recognized and used if they are named appropriately
(see 'specular map pattern', e.g. for a base texture foo.dds,
the specular map texture would have to be named foo_spec.dds).
If this option is disabled, normal maps are only used if they are explicitly listed within the mesh file
(.osg file, not supported in .nif files). Affects objects.</p></body></html></string>
<string><html><head/><body><p>If a file with pattern 'terrain specular map pattern' exists, use that file as a 'diffuse specular' map. The texture must contain the layer colour in the RGB channel (as usual), and a specular multiplier in the alpha channel.</p></body></html></string>
