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

 

Yes, this was something that we requested and mindflux provided. He didn't have to, but we're thankful that he did!

need to check new optional file to see if this is better: Embers XD - Patch - Glow Eliminator

[TechAngel85]

Updated mod instructions again to add the "Red Glow Eliminator".

Thanks for confirming. I think there is also a yellow glow eliminator now ... I am not as far along in my setup. Will get there eventually.

Another update dropped for this again today

Updated the instructions. Red Glow Eliminator was renamed to Disable Red Glow.

Also added instruction to hide meshes\mps\mpscandleflame01.nif.

@TechAngel85 can you confirm that hiding that file is necessary? What about mpscandleflame02.nif?

@TechAngel85 confirmed over Discord that the mpscandleflame meshes do NOT need to be hidden from this mod. Fixed instructions accordingly.

I saw that. It doesn't apply to Step this time.

I really wish Mindflux would work on this mod and resist posting an update until he is finished. I realize that sometimes one needs to update in response to user feedback, but there have been about 30 updates to this mod in 3 months. Geesh.

[Mercury71]

Mindflux has, as usual, put up another version (2.4.8 beta).

I must say this is one i am really excited about (the Lite version) since the firepits in the inns looks really good, at least for my eyes.

[Mercury71]

And we have an update again! Now 2.4.8 is "live" and as i stated above i really like the changes that is made to ember fires.

Version 2.4.8
* Added a patch for Mathy's Skyrim 3D Blacksmith.
   Thanks to Mathy for the permission! Be sure to check out his outstanding mod if you haven't done so already.
* Ember fires are now smaller and of varying size.
* Improved campsite ash shading.
* Fixed reported campsite clipping issues.

Sounds like the one we've been waiting for. I personally have been using reduced glows, embers, and particles. This version may change some of this stuff.

We have plenty of testing yet to do in order to fine-tune this mod for Step, but I don't think we should bother until Mindflux is finally happy with his mod ... hopefully this year!

Awesome! This was because a conversation I started due the fires being all the same size regardless of the embers used. Vanilla has varying sizes. This was likely the cause of much of the clipping too. I only discovered it due to the house mod I work on. All the firepits in it became blazing infernos after Embers XD was installed.

Noticed the same in regards to the firepits for other building/house mods. Thanks for realizing the fix!
