ENBSeries

Thanks for the advice, I was using TES5 Edit and the CK actually makes the settings make a lot more sense with how everything's laid out. I'm still not understanding the alpha blending settings though and I'm not familiar with any vanilla shaders that don't glow so I don't know where to look for reference.

Here's the settings for the shader in the CK:


I already tried changing the destination blend mode to "one" like I saw in some vanilla shaders but that doesn't seem to have worked. I'll keep experimenting I guess, but any advice would be appreciated.

In your screenshot blending looks like it's setup correctly, puzzling. I have to say I haven't (luckily) had to use the built-in effect shader much so maybe the game does some sort of shader trickery. Now that you mention they are mostly all spell effects, I think.

This article helped a lot: https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?t ... fectShader

I found that a "source blend mode" of "dest color" and "dest blend mode" of "one" gave proper results. I couldn't find anything else that worked. The soap effect is a lot more subtle now, but it looks a ton more realistic with or without ENB.

I'm still at a loss for the Particle Shader, though. Seems like everything other than the default either makes the texture all black/white or completely removes transparency from the background.

Again, thank you for the advice.

Recently I discovered a strange problem when Particle Patch is active: (there is some dark shadow that partially covers the map and when I exit the map and turn myself, then reopen the map, the shadow is in another angle)






Strange thing - it wasn't like that before I had to restore my mod overwrites in MO2 after MO2 crash. (probably something overrode that faulty part before)

Now I've tried disabling every mod, until I found out that it's specifically the Particle Patch. When I disable it, problem disappears.

Oh yes, now I remember someone reporting a similar issue a while back which I forgot. I think it was caused by one of the blowing snow effect meshes or something like that but I have never seen the issue myself.

Which mods do you use for the map?

I use A Quality World map for the map (+ some interface mods)

BUt disabling that doesn't chage the glitch.

Found the faulty file. It's the fxcameraattachblowingfog.nif in meshes\effects



Removed the BSTriShape and problem solved.

Thanks, good stuff. I’ll try to investigate when I have a bit of time.

There's now something I don't quite understand; that mesh, while it could be the culprit, doesn't seem like anything you have there, it's a just a particle effect.

The mesh gets stretched over the screen and it's the lower part of this BSTriShape that becomes visible. I have ultrawide display, maybe that is the reason I see this, can't really compare on another display.

Probably I have some older version and there might not be this glitch in latest version.
