Vurt's SS2 Flora Overhaul

Notes:

* Replaces most plant models with more detailed versions.
* Requires a decent graphics card to run without FPS drops.

Nice update vurt! It worked fine, except these plants:

Maybe there's another compatibility issiue with SHTUP, i don't know.

ah thanks for reporting that, i know what that issue is.. i'll make a fix.

Edit: Fixed (untested, but should work now).

663966eba6afc

Mmh, it doesn't work, this time the plants had yellow and purple "leaves" or squares in this case.

663966eba6bd4

Haha ok, try now.

663966eba6db9

Almost! The leaves are ok but the stems are missing

Hmm can't figure that one out i'm afraid. The texture is 256x256 TGA and the file name is correct (i just checked the .bin with View.exe). I was in hydroponics with this version and didnt see any missing stems.

I just wondered: could the texture of this flower boxes be changed, or the flowers be repositioned?

Some stems almost fit the holes, but some seem to grow out the solid metal.

663966eba7383

I'm not sure how well the original stem fits in to the holes, i don't think it does, would take a lot of time to position them perfectly.. Sometimes i don't get why they've separated the meshes in the first place, for example those pots and plants, just a lot more work to position two meshes instead of 1.

One way would be to make the leaves go lower (or make them bigger) to cover this error.

Is this still in development? I sometimes get strange bugs like floating plants:

Flora OVerhaul was installed on top of SHTUP and ADaoB if that matters. Will collect additional screenshots as I continue with the game.

663966eba7855

might be an obj placement issue, will check the map.

663966eba794b

I've played up to Recreations now and haven''t encountered another problem with this mod. Must be an error in earth.mis.

663966eba7a29

Overwrite SHTUP .bins? Excuse abruptness. On-screen keyboard. Long story. Thx.

663966eba7b2a

If you want others to understand you, consider using full sentences.

Dou you want to know if there's a conflict with SHTUP? There is, both look fine but Flora Overhaul replaces a lot more models. For the sake of consistency, I'd advise to overwrite the SHTUP content.

My apologies for the incoherence last night, the post does say why, though... I had to post it or I'd forget.

Having problems with a few of Vurt's mods. As he doesn't test installing the proper (sorry Vurt!) way, he doesn't put instructions about file overwrites in his posts, as he doesn't experience them himself probably.

Maybe Vurt could sort these mods out in the correct folder structure for placing in DataPermMods.

Thanks very much, Marvin :-)

PS: Vurt - loving the latest Skyrim overhaul, just downloaded it!! Posting here cause I don't really post on the nexus.

Updated!

v0.4 Changelog:

* all textures are now in .dds format
* new reeds and lilypad textures
* new pot that fits better with the sci-fi theme
* upped the resolution on a few textures

663966eba7ebf

Neat... I just installed the old one. Typical Lol.

663966eba7f92

Beautiful, thanks!

663966eba8081

Looks great but the very first plant you see (next to the reception robot) is floating. I imagine it's going to be a recurring issue for that type of plant.

663966eba818e

yes unfortunately, though it's just only really noticeable at that one place. You can delete it by removing plantt.bin. Though the original plant is very buggy, the pot is somehow inverted and turns itself inside out as you move closer to the plant, it looks really weird. Maybe it's fixed with shtup though.

663966eba8292

Yeah it looked fine with SHTUP. I put this mod in the Temp folder which acts like it overwrites the stuff in Perm to test it so I could delete it without re-downloading the stuff it overwrite if it's problematic. I'll go ahead and just delete that file then.

663966eba86ad

So if we already have an older version installed, how does one go about updating? Because . . .

Quote by vurt:

* all textures are now in .dds format

. . . suggests that it's not as simple as just dropping the new files in the DataPermMods folder and overwriting what's there. There will be duplicate versions of every texture, due to the change of texture format.

Does one format take higher priority over the other? Or does it matter?

I'm manually going to delete the older duplicate textures in other formats. But I thought I'd ask, on behalf of others who might have the same questions.

663966eba87b2

.dds has higher priority.

663966eba8a55

Do some of these only look right with certain alpha settings in the .ini? In the latest upload, that same problem plant in the screenshots above has transparency issues for me around the leaves. Otherwise, the plants are looking good.
