Jump===========================================================
Version 3.6.0 is a minor feature release that improves the image stability of TAA. The improvement is provided by a technique called "Jitter" which applies subtle camera movement to each frame.
Two additional settings have been added to control this feature. One to simply toggle jitter on/off and the other to the select the "Jitter Pattern". I recommend using JitterPattern = 0 if you expect your game on average to run below 45 fps and JitterPattern = 1 if you expect to run above 45 fps. In addition, this release fixes some interior rendering issues where certain meshes would be transparent.
NOTE: It seems that Nexus Mods is now imposing a limit on the length of these comments. I've removed the release notes from previous versions and will re-upload them to another location. See the full list of changes in the Changelogs on this page.
Anyway, for context, in Skyrim, there is this wonderful mod called "Community Shaders", it's similar to Oblivion Reloaded in that it adds new amazing shaders to use, as well as optimize them and the old engine's old shaders and the like.
And from it, there is one feature I REALLY enjoy, it's the "Toggle Effects" button, set to the asterisk (*) by default.
And I was wondering, can ORE3 have such a feature?
It would be great, for debugging, comparisons and to momentarily disable it for some performance boost.
I understand some things may not be able to be toggled off, or a restart is needed to toggle it off, but still, if a lot of effects can be toggled, it's worth it, right?
For example, let's say I'm in Better Cities' Bravil, I have almost all effects on including the shadows, but my framerate is extremely low, I can just press ORE3's "Toggle Effect" button and it disables most if not all options, including the very demanding shadows.
Any idea if there is something I could change to have shadows on grass and avoid the strange shader issue with specific grass types?
I’ll be providing a new release soon to fix a few bugs so I’ll try to fix this as well. Thanks.
Here's a short video showing it
This issue is still around. Any way to fix this?
Would you be available to test the fix if I send you the shader? If all is good, I will include it with the next release. Thanks!
Here's the clip
I thought it was the animation, but after using "Combat Additions" bash, it didn't fix it, so it has to be the FOV Zoom when you talk to a character.
This "fix" is possible with the Light spell too, but doesn't seem to be too reliable, could be because of the fact it's 50ft instead of the Torch's 24ft or so.
Hey mcstfuerson, I am very sure that there is some kind of issue going on with the "Shadow Casting", be it the Torch or the Light spell.
So, I have the Grand Ring of Light, when I use it in the menu, it works fine and it emits a light as well as a shadow. However, it seems that sometimes but also a bit rarely, it does not cast shadows.
But if I use the ring with the hotkeys (7 in my case), it will emit a light with a high chance of not emitting any shadows whatsoever.
The Torch is even strange, some of us already talked about how it might be due to Enhanced Camera, which might be, but also...
One time, I got my torch up by using the inventory, it was casting the lights just fine, even with EC!
But then, I do it again and it has that "big block of shadow" problem that EC might be causing.
Just like that Ring of Light, it also has the same issue with the inventory and the hotkeys.
It's so strange, I'm not sure why it acts like that, maybe there's some kind of script delay needed, but when you use it with the hotkeys it didn't delay enough?
However, they're set to 0? Is that normal? Do you have any recommended settings, or it's a texture-by-texture basis?
In that regard, I've just set it all to 1 and...InsanitySorrow's Ebony Sword replacer is so beautiful! Imgur Link
Makes me want to get back to texturing for Oblivion.
Hey mcstfuerson, could you check something in the game for me?
Here's a link to a forum post I've made: CLICK HERE
So in short, I have a missing Flame Texture and I think that it could actually be caused by ORE3.
I have tried to see it on Vanilla only, with ORE3 still on and I still have the bug.
And I can't play without ORE3 anymore, it crashes my game, I am not sure why.
Just go to Fort Dirich, then there will be a place at the very south-end (more specifically, it is left-bottom since the map is diagonal), see if you also have purple flames like I do.
I have a suspicion it might be ORE3, if not, it's "Oblivion Upscaled Textures". I even tried 5 different Fire retextures and the issue is still there.
Hope you have time to check and help me out, thanks.
- having actor shadows enabled in Shadows.ini for interior cells results in significantly fluctuating FPS
- setting interior shadows to max in the in-game menu brings back actor shadows and I think some more, while still apparently rendering the other shadows and everything looks nice. It's just I find no way of persisting that (and it seems this is not how it should be done :)).
Here are two screenshots - the first when loading up the game as is with OR loaded and actor shadows ON, the second after setting interior shadows to max via the in-game menu:
What might be relevant here is I use mods like Better Cities (the screenshots were taken in the Bravil Bayside Inn but the effect is noticeable in vanilla cells as well), Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul and NAO (though afaik this should not affect interior lighting).
Could the oblivion.ini settings for min/max actorShadows be relevant here (set to 10), or is there something else I could try to force vanilla actor shadows while using this mod?
Thank you for your work either way.
So OR:E3 shadows work quite differently from vanilla. Vanilla will display actor shadows at any distance from light and OR:E3 only displays them within a certain proximity (light radius) of the light. Also, OR:E3 is very susceptible to visual issues regarding the placement of the light. Since Oblivion was never designed to project object shadows, little care was taken as to where lights were placed. So for instance a light may be placed above the ceiling that casts a very awkward shadow on the entire cell. My guess in this instance is you're noticing a bit of both of these things.
I do not recommend using the vanilla shadows for two reasons. #1 it removes OR converted shaders from the pipeline which will cause some odd visual issues. #2 The shadows from both vanilla and OR:E3 do not blend at all. The sliders default to "off" which is an intentional behavior to prevent these issues from happening.
What you can do to fix some of the visuals is configure the cell in "ShadowPointLights". Essentially this will allow you to loosely define which lights cast shadows etc. There's a section in the included documentation listed below but please feel free to ask questions if you need help with the configuration:
/Oblivion/Data/Docs/OblivionReloaded/OblivionReloaded.html#ShadowPointLights_002eini
It seems that after 3.6.0, perhaps due to TAA itself (despite me having it disabled), my quicksaves no longer have a picture, yet my regular saves do.
I also tried it with SMAA, enabled and disabled, same deal.
I know that in Vanilla Oblivion, if using MSAA, it would have this bug where the saves don't have screenshots.
Anyway, I've tried it myself, when I remove OblivionReloaded.dll it works just fine, so something or some shader in ORE3, or even ORE3 itself, is making my Quicksaves not have a picture.
However, I should also mention, I use Simple Saves Plus, maybe it's also another cause?
I am running the GOG version, if that helps anyone.
I constantly get a message in the game that I have an invalid playlist (even though all playlists were configured and work fine with old OR) or something like that. This does not happen with old versions of OR. And this happens in OR E3 and others too. Specifically, in newer versions only.
Does it happen to work with any version of OR:E3? For example: OR:E3 1.1.5? If we could pinpoint a version where it broke it will be infinitely easier to diagnose. Thanks!
