Thought I'd might repost these comments from the old thread:ThaumPenguin posted:I don't know about Immersive Weapons, but there are some other good sword mods out there that add high-tier weapons. ThaumPenguin posted:I agree completely. For me, wearing finery while traversing Skyrim just doesn't feel right.

Funky See Funky Do posted:It's been a few years but the masochist in me wants to play and mod this up again. Is texture pack combiner redundant now? I want to replace every single texture in the game with 2-4k textures because even the texture pack dlc ones suck. Is there an easy one stop shop to replace every single texture in the game. Seriously, it's really annoying to spend the time downloading all these great looking texture packs, then you walk past a wooden beam that looks like it belongs on an NES game and you can't figure out which mod would fix it. You'll want to use the Skyrim Mod Combiner, rather than TPC, as the latter hasn't been touched in ages.

I tried seeing if I could make some titles with transparency, since I think that's neat. Here's some samples:    Might have to go with something smaller. e: And without the weird lines, don't really care for those. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Siets, maybe it would be a good idea to cover the ENB Mod Manager and Changer as well? It could save people a lot of hassle when it comes to choosing and switching between ENBs.

Funky See Funky Do posted:E2: With SKSE plugins installed via MO the SKSE - plugin files are fine to be located in Mod Organiser/mods/TheMod right? It's been years since I've used it. I think the actual SKSE plugins should be in Mod Organizer/mods/TheMod/skse/plugins, but I might be wrong.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Yeah that's what I meant. OK, installed most of the mandatory and some of quality of life mods I wanted. What's next? Clean with tes5edit, run loot, run wyre bash for a patch and run loot again? You assume any of us ever got that far. But yeah, that sounds about right. Also, I think you can stop Wrye Bash from touching your load order, but I can't recall which setting it was. I do however remember that MO let's you lock your load order, so you might want to try doing that before running Wrye Bash.

GunnerJ posted:BTW, I think transparency would be good for the section banners but I really do like the font Mega64 used. Dunno what it is though. It's called "Skyrim black" or something like that, I found it yesterday. I'll try and see what I can do with it later.

Oh and GunnerJ, how many pixels tall would you prefer the section banners to be? The ones I posted were 100px tall, for reference.

GunnerJ posted:The ones up now are 100px but the text is about half that tall, I'd say. I really do like Mega64's style here, so something close to that. Would you like to keep the dragon insignias as well? It'd make the headers a bit more of a pain to make, at least with the method I'm using.

Cat Mattress posted:It's kind of unreadable IMO. Yeah I was worried about that, trouble is the "darks skyrim font" has a lot of negative space, and without some sort of background color (like from the frost sparkles here), it looks kinda weird. Trouble with that is that I can't get those frost sparkles without also having the text become "foggy", which is annoying. Here's how the font looks by default, for reference:  If I could fill the negative space in the text I'd be perfectly happy with it, but as it is right now I'm not too keen on the look. Might experiment with some greys and see what I can come up with.

Mega64 posted:Bold looks a little better to me (though still not perfect). That does make the font look a bit better! I'd like to experiment a bit and see I if I can find something decent-looking, but I'm not sure how much I can achieve as long as I still need to deal with this font. What the hell was the font maker thinking. e: I might have found something. e2: Nope. ThaumPenguin fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Transmogrifier posted:Yeah. I'd love to see what you can come up with! I found this while messing around with GIMP's logo creator, and while it doesn't exactly fit with Skyrim's aesthetic, the glow effects seem to patch up the letters quite well.  Obviously I'm not suggesting we should go with lava letters, but some sort of mild(er) glow effects might be just what we need. e: I'm done for the night, might see if I can come up with something tomorrow.

Adobe and all that. Unfortunately I can't think of any other program that might be good for that sort of deal. If no one's managed anything by tomorrow, I can see what I can do in Illustrator.

GunnerJ, you might want the OP to point out that Brigandage can add its armors to the bandit levelled lists, giving Skyrim's bandits a lot more variety in appearance.

Seriously, it's a pain to deal with and it's just taking up space. Ditching it in favour of Noble Skyrim and a few other graphics mods would save me a lot of hassle. Still don't know how I'm supposed to get Book of Silence to work with it.

GunnerJ posted:y0, Noble Skyrim users: What's the performance hit like, what's your graphics card, and are you using the performance version? Oh sorry, I was talking about SMC. I have no idea how to add Book of Silence and similar mods to SMC and at this point I'm not sure I'd even want to bother finding out. Which is where Noble Skyrim comes in.

It's just gotten flagged red every time I've tried and I'm not quite sure why. It's actually been at least a month since I last messed around with it. Honestly, at this point I'd be content with jettisoning the entire thing and saving myself some hard-drive space.

GunnerJ posted:OK, I'm really rusty on how SMC works, what does "flagged red" mean? When you add a mod to SMC the mod title is assigned a color depending on whether it's set up correctly or not. Green means all the right files are there and that they're set up correctly. Red means it's not.

GunnerJ posted:Hm, iirc that means that the files weren't downloaded properly or something because it can't find them, so they need to be moved around or extracted a certain way or something...? I know that there was a way to resolve that because I had to do it a few times, but tbh I think at this point the best way to resolve it is called "installing Noble Skyrim" See the problem is that BoS isn't a single download, it's several, and SMC only lets you add one folder... Also combining the folders manually didn't work for me either.

Does anybody know of a good ENB for Vivid Weathers? I tried NLVA, but the colors are way too bright for me, and the purple sunsets and such don't really work for me either. I'd love to have something more subdued, though. Or would it be a better idea to just ditch Vivid Weathers in favour of Purity or something else? e: Probably should try the official Vivid Weathers ENB before asking, huh.

Would Typo 3 be a decent replacement for the font we're currently using in the OP? It's the closest thing I've found to the Skyrim logo font other than the odd negative-space one we're already using. There's also the Sovngarde font from this replacer, but I don't know how to extract it. e: Wait, the last one actually lets you download the font for desktop use, nice.
