[SKY] In Game Effects Errors

[DZL21]

Almost all of the in game effects(ex: fire, blood) and even some armor types are showing up as flat white and light blue in game. I'm not sure when exactly the problem started as I am part of a large student team working on one mod. At first I though it had sometihing to do just with a custom effect I was working on but then realized it was happening to almost all of the effects in the game. Did I mess up a connection to some effects folder or something? We did go through an extensive merging process to combine all the student's work.

Sounds like you need to do some investigating. It's behaving a bit like a graphics issue, so I would start by having another student test the mod, see if they get the same graphical issue; just to rule out a problem with your hardware. If you can rule out hardware, try to identify exactly which things are not rendering right, then find out which students altered those objects.

It doesn't sound like a bad file path to the effects folder, they would likely come up as missing mesh icons, or be all purple if they were missing a texture.

The missing or bad texture color (purple) has been reported by people to be blue, white, grey. It depends on your monitor and graphics card, what color you see.

So it may also be bad textures.

I have not heard them reported as grey or white, so if that's the case I'd agree it's very likely a bad texture path. Check the texture paths in Nifskope and make sure they start with textures\ and point to the right folder

I think it depends on how much the object reflects light. It may be that the 'effects' reflect a lot and thus 'look' white. Its as good a guess as any, I suppose.
