    Exactly. This had been fixed I thought but must have missed this one instance. It had been inconsistently recommended in many areas so all should now be consistent.
  2. z929669
    The 'games' prefix is redundant for tools in most cases and I have removed it from the Setup Guide for consistency with other guide/mod instructions.
  3. z929669
    Yes, this is the game fog effect and is exacerbated by ENB. Happens mostly in foggy/rainy weathers. Next update should largely resolve, but it can never be fully eliminated.
  4. z929669
    I'd call this a 'fix' almost. Ideally, the damn chars wouldn't bump into other chars at all, but I guess the game/navmesh isn't smart enough for that.
  5. z929669
    Thanks for the compares. Its somebody else's call, as I couldn't care less. Like DY, I do think this mods content was cut for a reason. (like most cut content)
  6. z929669
    Same. The default is fine, and I like the challenge. I have a knack for it I guess, so no help needed.
  7. z929669
    Will test this one
  8. z929669
    Fixed lantern light and replaced those in the compare.
  9. z929669
    Yeah, that override is present in the patch, but evidently not enough yellow: That's Ambiance torch light. Will tweak a bit and see.
  10. z929669
    Well the color isn't as orange, but compare it to the other replacers out there (e.g. Rallys). The texture is vanilla friendly, and the color is just muted and more on the brown side. If you upscale Bellyache's texture, i will shut up EDIT: And Bellyaches horns are not true to the highland cow, but the Holy Cow version's horns are.

    Compares are Step 2.1.0 DEV using respective latest L&W patches and NO ENB or post-processing mods. All shots are identical but for the lighting-overhaul used (Step 2.0.0 otherwise). Vanilla (Step [CW, RS]) >> Step (Luminosity, CW, RS) >> Ambiance (replaces Luminosity) + EmbersXD with Yellow/Orange option (Orange/Red option is waay too red) >> #3 with tweaks to "Ambiance.esp" Image Space (lower saturation/bloom) and "Ambiance - Light Colors.esp" Light (slightly increased red rgb) Blackreach is a special case: Vanilla (Step [CW, RS]) >> Step (Luminosity, CW, RS) >> Ambiance colors & fog distance, CW image Space >> Ambiance colors, CW fog distance & image Space >> pure Ambiance (replaces CW weather entirely) PS: I was wrong about yellow/orange option not working with EnbersXD/Ambiance. I had accidentally tested with BOTH Ambiance and Luminosity active in my LO, which washed out the yellow fires.

    Anyone care to do compares on this one? I'm not invested enough to take the time. Too busy with Ambiance ....

    Step (Bellyache's) >> This mod (Bellyache's) >> This mod w/Bellyaches Animal and Creature Pack Revamp (2k) >> This mod w/Holy Cows - 4K and 2K Textures (used 2k/1k version) I think this mesh is much better, and even better with the textures Eliian suggested. Vanilla friendly, too. I looked at the mesh in 3Ds Max, and while it is possible to fix the UV stretching, it would be way too much work for the marginal gain. Three separate meshes to fiddle with, and relaxing alone causes the UV to map outside of the bounds of the atlas textures, so I would need to spend a good chunk of time UV mapping manually. Maybe some day but too many more important things to get done now. @Eliian If you drag/drop your images directly into the post, they paste as thumbs. You will want to convert to JPG beforehand though. Try to keep them under 500k by resizing. It's a pain, I know. Otherwise, you can upload to postimage into a gallery to make compares simpler. EDIT: added Bellyache's upscaled textures compare (thanks Tech)
  15. z929669
    Good point. I just noticed that while looking at the plugins. I have to say that I think Luminosity looks best in most Eliian's shots. Fire is way too orange with Ambiance, and I'm seeing it's too yellow if I use the yellow/orange option in EmbersXD. I am prepping some shots now using latest patch.
  16. z929669
    Thanks! I'm with Mercury on this. I like the look of the iron from this mod, but I'm not keen on the wood. I also think the kettle and some of the others are too customized and not true to vanilla. I will need to pass on this one overall.
  17. z929669
    ... another useful mod. I like it.
  18. z929669
    I like this too
  19. z929669
    I like it
  20. z929669
    Well there are definitely some UV issues with stretching. Higer-res texture would also help once the UV issues are fixed. I'll look at the mesh. EDIT: The UV layout looks good, but it needs to be relaxed in a 3D program. I will play with that when I have some time. The original mesh has the same issues for the nodes in common. The textures are only 1024/512, and for a mesh this size, it makes sense to use 2048/1024, IMO. Hmmm ... cow textures.
  21. z929669
    See my edits ... Yes, we have this patched now much as you say. I just can't believe how drastic the effect is on some of those fires. The lighting seems fine, but the fire itself is sooo orange.
  22. z929669
    Thanks again ... I think Embers should override Ambiance for all fire conflicts. It's definitely too orange with Ambiance. I mean the source light and not the reflected light. Need to find out what's causing that. It may also apply to magic fire. It looks like that would be more consistent with the light sources as well. Blackreach: Are you overriding CW with the Ambiance changes? I have patched this to use Ambiance colors and fog settings but CW in all other respects. There are several ways to go with this conflict, especially if CW-Godrays is included. I think the Light Color plugin is preferable, and Ambiance is definitely closer to vanilla. EDIT: Luminosity has quite a bit more red in the lighting than I assumed EDIT2: also need to look at laterns. There is quite a bit of patching we have done that needs to be tested.
  23. z929669
    Thanks ... we'll obviously also need to look at this mod in the compares as well. I will get to it eventually if nobody beats me to it. Rally's is pretty far from vanilla but looks good. EDIT: Is the middle one with this mod's mesh? If so, strike my comment above. EDIT2: yeah, it is ... I think this mod is a no brainer as long as you don't notice any clipping or other oddities in game.
  24. z929669
    Such overrides are part of what need to be tested. Torch fires should emit similar to Embers rather than lighting I'd say. It depends on the result.
  25. z929669
    Good to know. The only conflicts of note with the Light Colors module is ENB Light, whichh is late in the LO anyway. Ambient main plugin still sorts rather early in the LO, so I will look at this again. I have this installed the same as you: no darker fogs and with Light Color plugin.
