pack Weather and Lighting (by Smile44)

[DoYouEvenModBro]

Smile, you should really take a look at this Snow mod by Yuril. I think it blows HQ Snow out of the water, which I never thought I'd say. If you want to include it in your pack, we need to figure out whether or not we would use the Weather Patch -40 or -10. Also, which version of this mod we want to use (regular or dark version).

Check it out. I've never seen a snow retexture mod get that 'clumpy' snow look right.

[Smile44]

I don't know, it is possible but as I am not using CoT sounds I will have to install the mod then open it up with all relevant esp files - I do not think it is important because it just alters the chance of a weather type happening in one area, which would be utterly negligible in game. I will get around to it and have a look for you but can't give you an ETA. You could always have a look your self. Open up the ESS file in TES5Edit and see where it clashes, make sure you have all AOS and CoT - sounds files selected when you run TES5Edit. You should then be able to see where there are clashes by expanding regions and then each file until you find conflicting files (in red) then decide if that is something you want to patch i.e. bringing a file or change from the left into a new patch file which would appear on the far right.

 

:)

Kk. If i drag a file to match up with the last mod loaded, that just alters that .esp, right? Does it create a new patch file?

You have to right click the file that you want and select copy as override then select new file, give it a super snazzy name, then click OK and it will appear on the far right. You can then add things that you want to keep from other files by dragging them to the new patch file. Once again though I really dont think it is necessary.

 

:)

 

P.S I have had a look at this snow, will need to see if the game can handle 4K textures or weather the 2K is as good. Certainly looks good.

I'm personally going to use the 4k when I get home tomorrow to test. I have a 4gb VRAM card though. I'm sure 2k is fine. I just wanted to see if you were aware in case you missed the thread. I really think this is an impressive-looking mod.

Hello

 

Just finished STEP Core install with some extended mods and weather lighting packs. One thing that I have noticed is that COT does not seem to be working correctly. It appears as though I'm stuck with vanilla weather patterns, which will change but no COT. Is there a way to console command test COT? Any other ideas? Thanks.

Please post load order so we can assist.

Thanks Smile

Can you put spoiler tags on that? Don't put spaces though.

 

[ spoiler ] whatever [ /spoiler ]

[go2kant]

Sorry about not added the spoiler tag 

[DoYouEvenModBro]

It's cool. I've forgotten like 10 times.

[Smile44]

At first glance I can't see anything that would prevent CoT from working are all esp and the esm file active?

 

:)

[DoYouEvenModBro]

I can help with this I think. I had a problem with installing CoT with Mod Organizer where the sky was all messed up. Basically, the problem is that the .esm file is in a folder labeled "main file" or something instead of under a "data" folder. Even though MO still installed the ESM, it didnt' interact with the correct textures or something. Basically what it came down to was restructuring the entire file manually and re-zipping it. I suggest you do that and see if your problem is solved.

[go2kant]

Thank you both for the recommendation.  I will try the reorganizing of the file to see if it helps.

 

Also 

 

Is there a way to test COT weathers in the console?

Yes but I don't remember what they are or where to find them. Smile might know. Aiyen would definitely know.

All esp's and esm are active.

 

DoYouEvenModBro

 

I checked the MO Data tab and it looks like ClimatesofTamriel.esm is loading in the appropriate location.

I know and I said MO would still show it, but still try to re-structure the mod under one data folder and make sure the esm is in the data folder. 

 

Also, how do you know that CoT isn't working? I can barely even tell the difference with that mod to be honest.
