Greetings everyone
Vividian Vanilla 6.50 beta just has hit the beta directory!
Link
Please feel free to test it out! Will need some feedback on it :)

Changelog:
6.50b
Vanilla version:

Changed mods:
All climates of Tamriel Weatherpatches-
Vividian - Weather Patch Vanilla.esp
Vividian - RCRN Weather patch.esp
renamed: Vividian - Pure Weather Patch.esp
to: Vividian Vanilla - Pure Weather patch.esp

Added:
-Support for Natural Lighting and Atmospherics
-ELE Lite 0.94 as install option (The old ELE is still there as fallback) Thanks Jawz!
-Cozzy night Interior option (more bloomish, cozzyness)
- Updated bloom shader for more precise control of bloom functions and textures. Bloom will look a bit different now
- added 30 minutes of sunshine to the day when using our weather patches:
Now the sun will set 30 minutes Later (like in COT). By doing this you will now experience more imersive sunsets. The vanilla sunset time was just too early and the sun was already gone behind the Mountains.
- Added direct Support for RLO (Realistic Lighting Overaul) Interiors as install option. RLO users must use this in order to experience a enjoyable experience. No other lighting option will work with RLO though and its compatible with Vanilla, NLA and COT.

Changed:
EVERYTHING! :D
-Made all weather editions compatible with the lighting options so Darker/brighter Interiors&Nights are compatible with RCRN,NLa and PW.
-Reworked all weathers of all mods with hundreds of enhancements.
- changed weather list to handle clear sky snow weathers independently. By doing that snow overblooming has been reduced.

Fixed:
-Wrong Subsurface scattering that makes skins too saturated.
-Lens vignette when bad weathers appear and the extended Lens fx are being used.
-thousands of other things.

When testing your beta, do we use base files from 6.30 and overwrite with 6.50 beta files?

[Mangaclub]

tha vanilla beta version is a full release with installer and stuff. The actual vivid files though need 6.30 as base

Yay a new version. Will try it tonight and update the guide.

[TechAngel85]

Yay! Downloading it now!

[TechAngel85]

Looks great but there might be a couple of issues.

 

Reflections/specular seem a bit high:

Fire intensity is really intense ( no ENB / ENB ):

 

This is the Vanillia version with ENBSeries v0.265. I installed the Normal option, ELE - Lite, Vanilla Weather Patch, and Extended Weathers.

[Mangaclub]

thanks for the hints. Seems i forgor to switch off exterior reflections for the vanilla verison in the default setting. Heres a fixed ini;)

What interiors are you using? Brighter? Cozzy?

[Aiyen]

Waterfalls are always a pain in the behind... Guess one should make a modified version of the dynamic meshes where their specular components are vastly decreased... will look dull without an ENB though. At least I never found something that looked decent without it and with. 

[TechAngel85]

Oh, normal interiors as well. Thanks for the INI! Here are the before and afters for the enbseries.ini file you provided.

 

Before / After

 

 

Forgive the position change. I didn't have those spots saved.

[Mangaclub]

thanks, can you try the cozzy ones? just curious ;)

[TechAngel85]

Yeah, give me a sec. Also, is there a darker nights version for vanilla? All I see in the installer is, "Nights of DOOM".

 

EDIT:

The name of the mod in the Vanilla FOMOD is "Vividian Extended Weathers" as well. Same name as the Extended Weathers optional.

[Mangaclub]

the nights of doom are the darker nights, yes :)

 

What you mean with Vividian Extended Weathers in fomod? cant see that there.

[TechAngel85]

Forget my last comment. Checked the FOMOD and it's just MO being weird and choosing that name over the default one. MO problem, not Vividian.

 

Here's the cozy interiors which is very cozy indeed!
