Caladcholg Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Actually, I keep comparing the steel textures from the amidianBorn Content addon 1.9 "textures\armor\steel\" with the ones from the standalone download "aMidianBorn steel RC4" this guide has us install and just like the iron one I can't tell a difference here either. Could someone point out to me what exactly is updated and why we need to install these separate versions if they are included in the Content Addon or how they are different from those files? I noticed the Content addon was updated in March of 2015 and some of these ones we are overwriting with had their last updates earlier than that. Hide and Scaled armor seems to be absent from the CA so it makes sense to still get those but for Iron and Steel could the fact that they got bundled into the CA just have been missed? For that matter I noticed the FOMOD install instructions for the Armors section of aMidianBorn is a little inconsistent in that it has us NOT install Hide and Scaled options which makes sense to me in that we are installing options later that will overwrite them, but if we follow that logic and are overwriting the files for the iron and steel from the original "aMidianBorn Armors" file with the Content Addon or the standalones then shouldn't we have those selected as "none' in the original installer also? This doesn't really matter for the final outcome if someone is blindly following the guide because it's all being overwritten but it's just a point of internal consistency for the guide and for people like me who install everything as separate mods in MO this will save a tiny amount of disk space.

Darth_mathias Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 We need to double check amidianborn book of silence cos i am pretty sure the Hide and Studded, Scaled, Steel Armor standalone installs are actually included in the original mod (at least that what several sources suggest).

Nozzer66 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 They're only textures. If you prefer one over the other then just delete the one you don't wish to use. Still saves the disk space. Link to comment
Nozzer66 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I would mention that the instructions in question are a straight port over from Neovalen's original SRLE and I believe have not changed since he first published his guide. Maybe someone could contact him as per why he did it the way he did? Link to comment

Still saves the disk space.Yeah, talking about disk space was probably a bad example. I was just trying to fill out textures that weren't included in Book of Silence which led me to testing the ones that WERE included which led me to that mesh problem I had with USLEEP and the content addon and after fixing that I realized there were some things that seemed like redundant installs in the guide and thought cutting them would just make the guide cleaner and less confusing for someone like me trying to understand what their individual problem came from when there were a few things overwriting each other. Anyway, don't mind me and carry on since as you said it probably doesn't matter much. Link to comment
Nozzer66 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Oh no, it would be nice to not have to install stuff if it's a double up. You're not wrong in that. :) If it cleans things up both in the install and the guide then fine. :) I've been informed that Mator seems to think the same thing according to his Mod Picker threads and posts. So we will have a look at changing that instruction. Link to comment
Nebulous112 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 IIRC, I believe CaBaL updated those textures after BoS was released, and the updated ones never got in BoS. Link to comment
StoneyMason Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Minor but the post install instructions for this mod are worded a bit confusingly. I figured it out but it took a second. Instructions should reference the two mods by name. As in move the meshes folder from the earlier installed Apophysis Dragon Priest Masks to overwrite the meshes folder in this mod. [improved closefaced helmets - SRLE Extended LOTD] Post installation: Manually install from the archive 50 Apophysis/meshes folder and overwrite when asked Link to comment

You'll find the folder '50 Apophysis' there. Could maybe suggest that better in the instruction... Link to comment

Could maybe suggest that better in the instruction... Oh okay I see. The 50 Folder Apophysis thing relates to a folder in the Improved Closedfaced Helmets - PATCHES v1 archive. I didn't put together that it was referencing that file. Link to comment
Nozzer66 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Will clear that up. But in the main if we're asking for something from another mod to copy over we'll call the mod out. An example is the copying of the vampire eye texture from Eyes of Beauty to RS Children. Cheers! Link to comment
Codeacious Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just wanted to pop in here saying that I'm really looking forward to the standalone release of this guide. I got through S.T.E.P. Core + Extended and installed some mods on top of it before realizing SR:LE was a thing (and had a lot of the mods I was installing on top of S.T.E.P.), and then halfway through that before I found this guide.

Darth_mathias Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Thank you. i'm glad you put the Nvidia section in. So when I Force Vsync with Nvidia, should I turn off Vsyn in enblocal.ini?yes if you want your driver to be handle Vsync turn it off in the enblocal.ini file and the skyrim.ini file I'll add something about that. just so you know this is my reference https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/74427/?
