    You can get that looking a lot better by using a less harsh decompression model and then using a different model for the upscale. This is a good example of him using a model that mainly just sharpens on everything and why batch processing is never going to completely work. I'm still working on my version of upscales for vanilla here and there so all things upscaling is still fresh in my mind.

    This author is okay and they do okay work, but they do batch work for their stuff as well. It seems they're on a mission to just upscale all the mods on Nexus. lol Anywho, this one is no different from the others. It's going to have some good and some not. I'll pick on it for a moment... The first shot on Nexus looks like plastic, not wood. It, all the wood texture shots, and the coal pile has lost any purposeful noise in their textures, the upscale has given the coal an orange peel texture, that Normal example has new vertical lines in it caused by too harsh of processing when there is heavier artifacting in the original texture... That's just me picking on the example we've been given. Yeah, they look nice, but there are still going to be issues due to the nature of batch processing. Anyone can do find a few good models and just batch a bunch of texture through them. It's super simple to do as the programs do all the labor. What sets upscales apart is what is done to reach the models used and what is completed after the upscaling is completed. I'm not going to go into what I consider to be a true upscale, but my process of upscaling can easily take 1-2hrs to complete per texture.; mainly due to everything extra I do, manually, post-upscale.

    First, I assume you are using a patch to make the mods work together? If you're not, that is likely your issue. If you are, then that patch needs to be updated to correct the issue. You see, the problem is RS adds new light references to locations and moves vanilla ones around. How Open Cities works is it takes all the references (including lights) that was in the vanilla location (it's own worldspace in vanilla) and puts those into the Tamriel worldspace. This change that OCS does accounts for all vanilla references. But wait...what happens to the lights RS adds/move? They're not vanilla! Well, if their locations aren't changed to match the new locations of Open Cities (like with a patch), those new references are just left orphaned and you'll never see them when using OCS. Without a patch, you're actually using vanilla lighting in the exterior locations altered by Open Cities. If you want to just fix it yourself, well doing that properly will take using the CK to switch out the light, move the light, reconfigure several lights to make that light work, etc...there could be several solutions. To just one and done it, as @RainingTacco mentions, just find it in the CK, double click on it, select "initially disabled" and save. I should mention if the light has a script or parent or child, then you might want to find another light to disable as that means it's attached to something else doing something else.

    Look at that...miracles do happen.

    Yeah, he just has a few of the settings down too far and that would likely be an easy fix. I remember it was discovered in the Cathedral discord that when the settings affecting the GLL calculation are pushed too far down you can have the guards equipping their torches in daylight. I want to say that value was around 19, but I can't remember. Next time this happen, you can check the value via console using: player.gll (i think)

    Just confirming that my compares are from April 3rd and the update was uploaded on July 25th; therefore, what's on the wiki is the older version of the mod.
  7. TechAngel85
    Yeah, I just never do anything that really needs a position in-game. If I need to find something that I'm working on, I'll often just drop something random that is easy to spot but out of the way, pop in the game, and then to find it. Of course this is because I work mostly in the CK with a lot of the mods I help author. Since the CK provides you the cell, it's always a quick COW to the cell in-game and a very walk to what I was doing in CK. I can see for users mostly using xEdit to mod that things like this mod could be useful.

    I agree it needs another look since the update, which specifically addressed many of the things we found from the weather compares we provided on the wiki. I may take some time to post new shots with the updated RAID...depends how I'm feeling on my days off.

    All these mods use the same/similar scripting to get these values because they are the only ones the exist in the game that will spit out the values (most of the time with the help of SKSE). It seems to be just reducing it down to a button combination vs other methods; completely objective. I typically just use Where in Special Edition am I, which adds a power you can use. I rarely need anything like this when modding, though.
  10. TechAngel85
    Sorry, but no. Guide requires AE content and there's a big notice about it right at the top of the Guide. We can't go making alternative versions of the patches every time some wants to go off course. It's just too much work for a 1-2 man team per Guide. You and try to download an old Patch from the archive on Nexus and use it, but it will be outdated and in need of updates, which you'll have to do on your own.
  11. TechAngel85
    Yeah, I ticked it. It seems it only includes a couple of the meshes from that mod so it might be one to consider so that all the buildings are fixed. I'm not sure how it conflicts with the rest of our Guide, which is why I haven't suggested it yet.

    Updated wiki page by adding the following selections: ELFX Exteriors Riften Architectural Details

    As far as I can tell, none of the enemies for #1 are required to complete the areas. So it's just altering play style a bit. It makes sense that if you're a part of the Vampire faction that you wouldn't be attacked by other members of that faction. If I'm wrong about level progression, here, please let me know. As for #2...if you're a vampire, you really shouldn't be messing with the Dawnguard. Again, this sounds like another change in play style. This one, you could bring to the author's attention.

    I'd wager this issue is only revealed by using mods that NPCs. I doubt it's an issue for the Guide since we are not including any such mods. Cities and the civil war battles aren't going to hit the default limits, which is wear you'll fine the most NPCs gathered at once in the game.

    Have you checked to see if your antimalware/virus isn't blocking MO and the tools? I only ask because it looks like the VFS isn't being picked up. You'd normally only see this if you were running the tools outside MO.

    Discussion topic: Animals Swim (Sort of) by JaySerpa Wiki Link This has always bothered me. Glad to see it's bothered someone else! Evaluated for 2.2.0 and determined this needs a bit of QA before it's ready for Step

    Discussion topic: Mists of Tamriel by Kojak747 Wiki Link Seems like this would be a good, rounded solution. It's configurable via MCM to user preference outside of ENBs and is tied into ENB via Particles to adjust brightness/thickness with ENBs. The "morning fogs" feature is optional, but has a small gap edited into the mesh so that it doesn't clip with the water, which is the cause of the many seams of the original Morning Fogs mod. This leaves a small gap between the water surface and the fog, but it's only noticeable if you are level with it (like entering/exiting water).

    It should no longer be needed for the Guide.
  19. TechAngel85
    It's possible they are from DynDOLOD. If you've made changes since the last time you've ran it, then I would regenerate. If you can click on them with More Informative Console installed, then that will give the their source.
  20. TechAngel85
    Are you running it from the drop-down list in MO? Have you closed and reopened MO to see if it just needs a restart? EDIT: I removed your other post that only added xEdit to the list of things not pathing. Let just address it here rather than working from two posts for likely the same issue. I've updated the post title to reflect.
  21. TechAngel85
    I've never put it up for testing because what we have looks far better, imo. I don't even use it.
  22. TechAngel85
    Why am I replacing a mesh in a mod that requires mesh edits to work??? Huh? As for hiding Radiant's mehes, the most it will do is make the color of the light different from the rest of the candles. They may possibly have different bounce effects and the radius of the ENB light could be different. Radiant's lights from ENB are at the max radius that ENB will allow.
  23. TechAngel85
    You have to edit the Steam ID since Bethesda did away with their launcher and put the CK back on Steam...unless something has changed since the last time I did it.
  24. TechAngel85
    It's just one specular texture so likely not a big deal.

    Guide supports Waypoint v4.06 update.
