hellanios Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Landscape Texture Transition Fix Seems like an interesting project. For now, it only covers Riverwood and Whiterun but hopefully the author will fix every bad transition. 1
oqhansoloqo Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Cool - looks like something that should be integrated into Skyrim Unofficial Patch 1
z929669 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Anybody know if this is a retexture, a mesh fix or a plugin-based or other fix? A retexture obviates it for STEP, and mesh might as well, because it will likely conflict with current and vital mods in STEP. However, if the fix is by some other mechanism, then it seems very applicable.
hishutup Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 The issue is fixed by painting the landscape which is a record.Im kinda surprised that the unofficial patch guys haven't fixed this themselves.
z929669 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 OK, I see it is a plugin ... but how does one 'paint' a record? I am assuming that this is an opacity setting? EDIT: Examining in TesEdit shows "vertext height map" changes to "alpha layer" ... so seems to be adjusting opacity (but I do not pretend to understand how) Looks like an essential fix that we need to use (the only conflicts seem to be skyrim.esm and update.esm) Marked for testing
alt3rn1ty Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nico has mentioned it https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/topic/3999-bug-fixes-recommended-in-addition-to-the-unofficial-patches/page-4&do=findComment&comment=155482 So it may get hoovered up by the UPP sometime in the future - Everyone is having a break from UPP playing Witcher 3 recently.

z929669 Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Ahh, I see. I am even less privy to the beastly CK (whom I hate so much but so desperately appreciate)
Guest Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 This happens when the maximum texture limit is reached for each cell. I am betting you just very slightly erase or paint in between the problem cells and it corrects itself. Bethesda need to find a better solution or somehing as I don't remember seeing it in other games ever.
hellanios Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 version 1.2 has been up for some time. jmv has posted a nice screenshot of the entire map indicating the covered locations.
FuzzRocket9 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Strangely, I've never come across any of those ugly textures in-game, or I wasn't paying attention. I'll probably find them now, because of this awareness. So the red box is the area he's worked on so far? He's got a long way to go, but I wish him some patience to get it all done.
keithinhanoi Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 One concern with this mod is the fact that in order to make the edits to landscape records, the parent worldspace cell records have to be included, which is what any other mod with exterior worldspace edits (not necessarily to the landscape) will also have. Not knowing what anyone might be using for other mods, the default for those parent worldspace records has to be vanilla plus any USKP fixes. This means the mod's plugin needs to load as early / high up as possible so that changes made by other mods don't get reverted back to vanilla state. For this reason, the author has included an .esm version of the plugin, which should presumably load just before Hearthfire.esm or maybe after the USKP .esm (not sure, and this would need to be checked). Point being, load order is very important, and if included in STEP, whether to use the .esm or .esp verison is an important consideration.Nico has mentioned it https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/topic/3999-bug-fixes-recommended-in-addition-to-the-unofficial-patches/page-4&do=findComment&comment=155482 So it may get hoovered up by the UPP sometime in the future - Everyone is having a break from UPP playing Witcher 3 recently.After that post, Arthmoor stated that landscape data edits are not something that will be considered for the UP, basically for the reasons I've outlined above.
TechAngel85 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 STEP would probably use the esm version and then we can forward anything that needs forwarding using the STEP Patches.
z929669 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Agree. It will need to be handled same way as the USPs. It doesn't make any sense that the USP team will not cover these edits, because a merge with USKP seems like the best place for these edits (so that other plugin creators tend to forward the changes in their own mods). Maybe they think it is too much work or breaks some of the current USP changes?
