Mod updated on Nexus ... need to evaluate.

Looks like cooking pot flames have been addressed.

Updated again. 2.25 removed the ESL plugin version. The newest update adds the large giant fires.

Some compares of the giant fires.

Current STEP (TOP) VS newest updated fires (BOTTOM)

LOL. It just updated again with some improvements to the giant fire. They are nice. I did not love the new look close up. Now I think it is an improvement close up and especially from a distance.

Thanks for the compares ... new version should be even better for us. Will need to test within the context of our latest SE guide dev.

[z929669]

More fixes in latest release, including reduced particles in campfires

[z929669]

Looks like another update ... seems to be out of beta now and ready for thorough testing once we update the OP instructions ... it will be some time before I can get there.

The largest issue right now is the load order for compatibility with Inferno. In the current set up many fires end up with purple textures. Embers XD has a version for it now where embers has to overwrite inferno. With this set up the torches and fire magic addons cannot be used.

[DoubleYou]

Yeah, I so  far haven't figured out how to make these play together nicely with ENB Light. 

[z929669]

Based upon my previous testing setup before this mod was updated, I had disabled:

• (DROP) Inferno - Fire Effects Redux - Ultra
• (DROP) New Thinner Torch
• (DROP) Ultimate HD Torch

There is no longer an EmbersHD.esp ... only EmbersXd.esp

I am also using all of the optional add-ons. Have yet to update all of my other stuff though

[Eliian]

For load order going:

-Inferno

-Embers XD with the inferno version

This fixes the purple textures.

Here is a quick compareison.

Top with inferno and new compatible embers xd version; bottom with just embers XD following current step install recommendations.

To test it all, you should disable the mods I indicated. I'm fairly certain that they will be dropped in the next guide version, so that's why I am running without. Good compares though, and that is why we should be dropping Inferno

EDIT: also, we will be using the less particles option

This is what i have done.

Ah,  I was wondering about the less particles version. It seemed like a better fit but I was unsure.
