Dongattack posted:Aren't you getting flickering textures/meshes with this many light entities? If not i wanna know how you managed to avoid that, are they really small or something? EDIT: this ended up a lot longer then I realized At first it was a loving nightmare, Rayeks original lighting was barely held together and walking in with a torch, which was necessary since it was so dark, made the entire place flicker like hell. In the last month I basically attempted everything that came to mind, and in the end I got pretty good at figuring out the insanity of Gamebryo lighting. There are several things to know going in: Shadow emitting lights have hard limits around 4 per cell, or at least in proximity to each other. Any more and you'll have lights fully trigger on and off. Omni / no shadow lights are unlimited, but you have hard limits of light radius overlap on both each other AND static objects. Anything that is being touched by more then 7 light radii will flicker as you move and rotate around it. The obvious solution is high ambient light in the imagespace and larger, higher radius lights to cut down on bulbs. Unfortunately since this place has a cave attached high ambient light is not a good soliution and high radius bulbs in low ambient give really bad confined brightness issues I didn't enjoy. At first I tried room bounds, hoping they would disable the lights outside the bounds, which helped to an extent but not well enough. I keep those in place though, for memory and just proper design reasons, and the structure is split into 3 rooms with portals, where that jump bug came from. I tried occlusion planes after the room bounds, in areas where the room bounds wouldn't work and because hey are more flexible. Didn't do much for the the flickering of objects, especially the huge ones like the giant cave structure for the pool in the middle and the waterfalls, which are an absolute pain in the rear end with flickering problems. I probably spent like 8 hours trying to fix waterfall lighting issues the last month. The best solution came when I got creative with JIT lighting scripts, or the yellow square/blue ball activators you see in that screenshot. JIT is used by relighting skyrim to enable and disable lights, to work around the shadow light limits. What it also can do though is disable and enable lights behind walls or in other rooms. This let me configure so that I can turn lights on and off as you pass through the yellow activators, which means that I can almost always keep the overlap down to 6 or less. I essentially got the flickering down to almost gone, and the only thing you'll really notice is lights can sometimes trigger a second late as you turn a corner, which is infinitely better given the alternatives. You can find the scripts on Nexus, and there are really simple tutorials for the basic activator/trigger sets. Mazz fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Aug 14, 2015 |

Tzarnal posted:Any luck adding an autosorter, thats basically the only reason i'm not using it right now. Yeah, it's done, you can find the sort lists on the last page. I grouped them together by type/room they're in. anything not vanilla that doesn't fall in a good category (like bags and bandoliers) isn't handled yet. That'll have to wait for me to rebuild my mod list and test things. Turns out the scripts need work, some got corrupted and some just seem off to the point I'm recompiling them all so it'll take a little bit more time. Only about 6 though so tonight should be doable.

ASIS question time: After I run the patcher from MO, should I put the SkyProc folder from Overwrite into either ASIS or ASIS Dependency (and should the same thing apply to enchantment mod Wintermyst as well)? EDIT: Oh and I've also been getting an out of memory error when running Automatic Variants through MO but it's fine if I run the Skyproc through the folder I delete the Cell part from the USKP whenever I update my Skyprocs and reinstall when done ever since that bug with the recent version was released, if that helps.  EDIT: The message 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space'. I allocated some more memory to Java, no dice. Kaiju Cage Match fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Aug 15, 2015 |

The only connection between morrowloot and sperg should be the leveling speed changes in ultimate. I think the crafting perk stuff doesn't actually conflict like it seems it would, but I'll have to look again to be sure. Also, my loving roommate is behind on the cable bill so I don't have a good desktop connection even though the house file is done. Can't tether for some dumb reason either right now, but it should' be fixed in thenext couple hours... or someone's gonna die. Kaiju Cage Match posted:I use SPERG but not any of the Morrowloot mods.

SPERG + Morrowloot Ultimate is totally fine. Just make sure you grab the old mesh fix from vanilla Morrowloot and add it last in your mod order (don't enable the .esp). Vague and nonspecific crash related issue, I frequently get crashes when I enter into the College of Winterhold map. But it's not every time, and that seems to be the only place it happens. For example if I'm inside the Hall of Attainment and I exit, I get a crash about 50% of the time. The autosave completes though, and I can load it and continue as normal. Also tend to get the crash if I quick travel to the inner waypoint then move forward. Anyone ever seen a similar problem to this? I do have Immersive College of Winterhold installed, so I dunno if this is known to cause crashes or if it might be totally unreleated.

 I'M FINALLY POSTING SOMETHING OF VALUE Everything is finally sorted out. Here's the link to the file, just grab the 7z in MO like any other manually downloaded mod. http://www.gamefront.com/files/25176577/Mazz%27s+End.7z (My google drive is making GBS threads the bed and it's too big for tinyupload) EDIT: I lied, here's a couple screens of some new things:    Some notes: - The disenchanter only works with player made items, as repeated in the prompt. I'd need to add a bunch of crap to get real capability, and there are mods that do it right which I'll probably just incorporate later on in a separate download. - The auto sorting system is completely automatic after you dump things in any of the attached chests (which are any that are not generic "storage"). The system can take some time to process stuff, especially books, so just unload everything, close then chest, and wait a minute or two before opening it again. Lots of items = more processing time. Everything is pretty instant except books and some crafting materials due to lots of searching through formlists. The sorting is paused while you are accessing the chest menus (or your inventory when crafting). - The lever next to the main chest is only required when you want to bring everything back to you, one to grab it all, and once more to re-sort it back. - The crafting stations are attached to the sorting, all except the staff one because I forgot and you'll never have the items you need anyway. When you leave the crafting the stuff will redistribute to the chests, but might be in your inventory if you check immediately after. - Mod added stuff and certain vanilla items that don't hit one of the ~30 sorting category will be dumped into the "backup sorting chest" in the smelting area. This is to keep the master chest empty, for clarity. - The weird crypt chest thing on the fireplace side of the bed is tied to the autosort as a relay of sorts, so I wouldn't leave anything in there personally. - Pretty much everything related to the CW factions and things with distinct red and blue backgrounds will change based on the battle of whiterun and the garrison markers there. If you go the Stormcloak route, expect a lot more blue throughout the house. Let me know what you like/dislike or anything I might've missed.

I've had a similar problem on occasion. One fix I've found is to go to an interior cell like the Hall of Attainment, type "pcb" into the console, and wait there for a few in game days. I think one of the causes of this kind of crash is certain NPC or creature spawns screwing things up somehow, and this procedure resets those things so the crash doesn't happen. I can't say for sure that it'll fix your problem, but it couldn't hurt to try it.

This character is level 8 and I only have a golden claw to put on show off, but I really look forward to filling the various displays out. Thanks, that's the angle I was going for since most house mods are comically massive and therefore full of unused, hideous space. The book lists are as complete as I could make them, but mods that change things, like BCS, may alter stuff I couldn't plan for. That, and there are probably a few that I missed in the form lists. I wish they just added proper keywords  I sorted the lists by the model used by the book/note in the world, so it's pretty close to perfect considering that. I'm still undecided if I like the skill books sorting out like they do, it breaks up some of the book collections in the other book case.

You should be able to tell just from paying attention to your armor rating and buffs, though.

Hah, I just realized why some of the equipment sets I used with SkyUI had some minor lag attached to them. By default, ENB binds F4 to "KeyFreeVRAM", so whenever I was switching to my torch, it also triggered some ENB cleanup as well that caused the delay. That had been bugging me for a long time.

Shame I never got it to happen earlier. The way mannequins are set up though if you activate them and equip something, they should pop back onto the stands. It's what the XMarker does in creation kit. You can try that as a quicker solution if it pops up again. axolotl farmer posted:403 forbidden I'll see if I can find another host, assume that's a country block. I wish tinyupload just worked.

Does anyone know of any compatibility/conflict issues with Deadly Dragons that would cause a CTD near Whiterun or between Whiterun and Riverwood? I've finally narrowed down a consistent repeatable problem to Deadly Dragons but it doesn't happen when I strip it down to just Deadly Dragons (well, plus Random Alternate Start to avoid the intro). Now that I've narrowed it down I really don't want to try and go through my whole loader with Deadly Dragons and one other mod enabled at a time to track down the offender, to the point where I may just be happy with vanilla dragons or give Dragon Combat Overhaul a shot.

I used to get crashes in between Whiterun and Riverwood all the time, but it turned out to be due to Skyrim's lovely memory allocation and not any one mod. I guess there's just a lot of random poo poo in that area; spawn points, quest triggers, NPC's, blah blah, so it's an easy place to use a lot of RAM if you have a lot of mods going. And of course Skyrim eats poo poo and dies if you use too much RAM. The memory fix built into SKSE turned out not to be working for me, so I reinstalled SSME and it magically fixed everything.
