I worked on water last time and not thought much about anything else, so can't say anything.

Uh, if you mean that you still don't have latest version installed, then issue is known and was fixed.
First two digits of weather are ignored and set to 0.
d4886 - rainy weather id. Other numbers i wrote are just an syntax examples how hex values can be used to define weather, not restrictive. For example 0x000d4886 is same as d4886. Just use examples and experiment a little, i don't remember about commas or other separators, but probably made various.

Oddly enough the strange colors only seem to show up after I have been tweaking for a while. I'm going to update to the latest version and install the helper .dll and see if it still happens.

I had a quick question about weather editing. I am assuming the ID's to use are the ones in the CK. What I wasn't sure about is, how can you edit ID's that are from a different mod, since the first two digits of the ID will be different depending on mod order?

In your example I see you did this: WeatherIDs=10a243, 0x0010a233 d4886

I am not sure I understand this format... Can you explain why 10a243 is listed followed by 0x0010a233, and what is d4886? Did you mean to show that multiple ID's can be input in either format and can be separated by commas or not, or is that whole line just one weather?

I sent you a little information that may (or may not) be helpful. Check your inbox

Realistic Water Two edits all the water locations to assign categories. Pond, Lake, Ocean, Marsh, Flowing water etc.
Each category use separate texture.
As far i know the mod author only made displacement mapping for 3 texture.

And now i tested Pure Water. It also shows same problem.

So my guess is water textures without the proper modification fails and becomes invisible? Which i think explains why bug fixes when displacement disabled?
I made a wild guess. Can be wrong

That is probably it. I use Real Waters 2 myself, quite explicitly for it's cell edits and better looking water in certain areas.

Version updated, download again
Found that after latest changes of water no longer work fix for "transparent" water bug when ssao or some other effects enadled, so fixed this in different way and removed that variable from enblocal.ini, because water without such fix is awful.

Hey - Hey!

I just recognised following glitch:

The Armor of my follower disappears at the waterline. Not a big thing, perhaps caused by the armor-mod ...

By the way, what is "EnableSilhouette"? I dont see any difference enabling/disabling this Parameter.

Whats the difference between TransparencyFade and DeepnessFade? Both seem to make the Underwater darker but I dont see the difference from using one or the other :?

I noticed this as well but not all clothing/armor is affected. I'd check whether the affected armor has an AlphaProperty in Nifskope and if it has the correct flag (4844 I think). I can investigate this further tonight if it's deemed useful.

[Gruftlord]

i think this is a vanilla bug, and i also think Maeldun is correct, that in order to fix it the mesh needs to be adjusted. if you find out, how to correctly modify it to get rid of the bug, please let us now Maeldun. i, too would be highly interested to know what the correct alpha flag is to fix the issue

That armor appears to be my Ultra Skimpy armor, and yes it's armor glitch not ENB. I tweaked the NiAlphaProperties settings to make some parts transparent, and the mesh disappears when viewed through the water layer.

To enable complete transparency of parts of the texture on a mesh, you must had a AlphaProperty in nifskope with 4844 for the flag and 128 for the threshold. A lot of armor and clothing mods that use the AlphaProperty to "mask" out portions of the texture with the AlphaProperty and it will work fine with these values.

If on the other hand you have a texture that is partially masked (i.e. only partly transparent), then I think you will run into this problem no matter what. A flag of 4845 and a threshold of 0 will allow for partial transparency but due to an engine shader issue, it won't render through a water surface with this variable method, at least not that I've seen. Every flag/threshold combination I've tried (with other flag options in nifskope) fails to render the transparency of the garment through a water surface. Either there is zero transparency (i.e. rendered, but opaque) or the garment is not rendered at all.

You can edit the meshes yourself if the mod author is too lazy to do so - it's easy enough to do if you have nifskope installed. In any event, this is not an ENB bug. You should see the same result when you hit shift-F12.

I should have done this, sorry
So this is not the right place to discuss this issue - but thanks for the informations regarding AlphaProperty.
