plaGGy Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 So, whats happening with the new update? I dont think we have Dragonborn really covered, do we?We have amidianborn, but thats landscape and ground afaik, with lots of .hidden files and we have "Detail the Eldritch", which is mostly "interior".Telvanni Reborn is dropped (i still have a copy i'm using atm). What exactly is covered by this one Has someone with more free time used some of it and taken a closer look into 1.7?
TechAngel85 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It's mainly just a handful of textures. I have personally looked into it a bit more and have found the textures to be better quality than the ones used in STEP now. Take the conflicts with SFO. The one or two SFO textures simply look like vanilla textures with a change in color. That's it....not very good from such a good artist like Vurt. This would take a full investigation, though, and it's something that I'm unlikely going to do anytime soon. It would be nice if the community would step up some and do some of these compares for us on the smaller mods in testing (probably not this one as there is more involved). Maybe I'll do it before the next release.
egraf Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Hi, I don't have anything personal against this mod, but has someone checked the normal maps?? Most of them are quite bad and even mismatch the textures.Knowing all the hard testing I know you do at STEP, I'm a little surprised no one pointed this out. I posted on reddit about this problem and got a confirmation by another user. His remark was this: I just took another look at it, I see the issue now. It's the alpha channel, it indeed doesn't match. I didn't see it at first because Photoshop doesn't show the alpha channel by default. If the author uses PS, that might be why the mismatch has gone unnoticed. you can see an example with this screenshot.\textures\architecture\solitude\sfloorhouse01.dds\textures\architecture\solitude\sfloorhouse01_n.dds Edited October 16, 2015 by egraf 1
egraf Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) We only use the landscape textures.ok, landscape folder is way better but still has some mismatches I think, for example rocksedgetrim01 and road01I don't know exactly which textures are used in STEP (I don't have a STEP set-up ATM) so I cant test, sorry.

TechAngel85 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Those files aren't used: https://wiki.step-project.com/Skyrim_HD
egraf Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 rocksedgetrim01_n.dds and snowrocks01_n.dds are not on that list (but maybe are overwritten by another mod, don't know).Anyway, I just wanted to mark out the problem in case you didn't know. 1
DoubleYou Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Should we be pointing users to the 1.5 old file or the new Landscape LITE equivalent, Tech?
TechAngel85 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 The new files seem to be fine. The only thing that has really changed is the addition of Dragonborn DLC content. The content looks good too.
Judge40 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I'm just going through the STEP setup and noticed an on the Wiki page for this mod.It states 'STEP recommends to download and install only the Landscape LITE main file.', however the Landscape LITE file is listed in the Optional Files section - not Main Files. Very minor thing really, but it did cause me to initially get the wrong file.
Akatosh Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Skyrim HDThe following conflicted files are provided by this mod: /textures/dlc02/landscape/dlc2road01ash01_n.ddsThe following conflicted files are provided by other mods: /textures/dlc02/landscape/dlc2road01ash01.dds (STEP Compilation/Serious HD) Is this correct? Why would I use the normal map of Skyrim HD on a diffuse map of Serious HD?
TechAngel85 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 That should probably be from Serious HD for the normal unless the normal from Skyrim HD looked better. I don't remember what we decided for the road textures so I'll have to go back and look.
TechAngel85 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Testing for clutter will take place here: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/11092-clutter-comparison-its-getting-a-little-cluttered-in-here/ There is no time frame for this comparison.
EssArrBee Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Dropped for STEP v2.10.0. Replace by Skyrim REalistic Overhaul.
Jimmyflow Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Where do I find why certain mods replace others? Thanks
