Just a note. the current release of Bethini Pie ) has a slightly different set of UI options compared to what's in the guide. Not sure what the difference implies but at least an upadted screenshot might be good.

 

Edit- Updating this with some more observations as I'm going back through my STEP install to troubleshoot

Section 21 Post-processing, the latest release of More Lights for ENB - Blood Splatter Fix says it has a new dependency on https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/66411 perhaps pin this to a specific version if it's not desired people install the latest one. The name on the mod list also doesn't match the installed mod name, which isn't a huge deal but I'm noting it here anyway to be thorough.

 

Also a couple things in-game that I can't figure out the source of:

• Something about the view of the butterfly alchemy ingredients means that the 3D view to the right of the menu shows their wings black, but if you rotate them you see the texture on the other side or at an oblique angle
• Night and indoors are too dark for my taste, unsure if adjusting gamma or some mod or enb setting is the preferred way to play with that. (Should note my monitor is color calibrated for photo editing so it's not the full tilt bright + contrast that most come set at)

The updated BethINI Pie GUI is represented in the SkyrimSE:2.4 dev guide. We haven't moved it into the 2.3 guide yet. I've added instruction to use 0.4 of More Lights for ENB - Blood Spatter Fix for now. The mod name in our mod list is identical to the Nexus. The user can always choose a name for a mod being installed if it's not consistent with the name of the mod.

Brightness/darkness is subjective and largely dependent upon system hardware/software. We've made all the adjustments in ENB to raise brightness a bit, so it's up to each user to tweak their system to make changes if it's too dark/bright for their taste. Use the latest Step ENB to get the most updated results.

Cool thanks Z, I thought as much re: the brightness but wanted to ask in case there was an option I was missing.

 

Edit- Happened to notice this just now, not a big deal but pointing it out for thoroughness' sake-- in the Community Contributions section at the bottom of the SkyrimSE guide the line

"In order to suggest a mod for inclusion in this Guide, visit the Mods section of the forums and use the Create Mod Topic button on the editor toolbar"

links to the No Man's Sky forum; presumably it should point to SkyrimSE -> SkyrimSE Mods

Should we leave Bake Specular unchecked in xLODGen?  That option isn't shown in the images in the guide.

Here's the gist on bake specular:

Okay, so it won't make a difference one way or the other at this point.  Flip a coin I guess.

Can the currently published STEP guide (v2.3) be followed as written, or does one need to be aware of any additional tripwires or changes that have surfaced since its release about a year ago that are not reflected in the guide?

We've kept the guide synct to current situation, so it's up to date as of June 30. Post back here if there's any obvious inconsistencies due to mod updates since then. See the changelog (and changelog wiki history) for updates.

Thank you. Much obliged. :-)

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place. This isn't an issue with the game or guide, but rather with the STEP website itself. Yesterday and today I've been seeing a lot of broken images on the 2.3 guide page, including some important ones like TexGen, DynDOLOD and MCM config screenshots. I've cleared my cache and cookies and restarted the browser like I normally would to fix local cache issues. I normally use Opera GX but the same thing happens in other browsers (though admittedly Chrome and Edge do seem to be missing fewer images than Opera).

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks for reporting the issue. We've made some security enhancements that might be to blame. I'll need someone other than me to confirm, since my IP has privileged access. @DoubleYou @Greg, could either of you check the wiki guide pages for broken images via a private session using a browser you don't normally use?

I tested and got this, but then I refreshed and didn't.

Thanks for testing. This tells me that there WAS an issue, and that my fix worked

[Greg]

I reported it the other day but it seems to be fixed now. Thanks.

[RomanFox]

I did another cache clear and everything looks to be fixed!

Hello! First of all I wanted to say I'm extremely grateful for this very detailed and well written guide. However sometimes the description isn't clear enough and it says to download both the main file and the optional, do I merge or rename the optional file? Thanks in advance!
