  1. Can anyone help me decipher this ancient text? I get this in NMM (latest) when I double click to install SkyUI. Everything else installs fine. https://i.imgur.com/HjN02qQ.jpg
  2. So more looking and I found some things if anyone comes upon this thread in the future: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2846/ https://belowthesunmodding.wordpress.com/2017/04/30/dragon-rising/
  3. So a few years back I remember a really nice PDF someone made that helped people sort though all the mods and how to get them to work together, and it had lots of good info on alternatives and what to keep in mind and other things. I was wondering if this sort of guide has been created for SSE?
  4. I was looking at a mod a few days ago that basically added more NPC enemies around and in areas and I think made them a bit smarter for added difficulty and mayhem. Problem is I cant find it now. If anyone knows the mod Im talking about (found it at the nexus) Id appreciate the link. Thanks a lot.
  5. Skyrim is in HD, but the vanilla textures aren't. Think minecraft, you can run that game in 1080p but the default textures are only 16x16 pixels. when you have like 20 512 on your screen at one time, some of which are tiling 500 times, do the math. Unless you are constantly lookin at a single non tiled 512 texture the whole time... It is completely irrelevant to call textures such, as on screen the game will only be mapping 1 texture pixel, which it gets by sampling, to the screen pixel. So I could tile a 16x16 image texture 45 times and suddenly its magically HD? Tell me youre joking. ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP I WILL PUT IT IN BOLD. An (LCD) screen has a maximum (native) resolution. Typically in an HD category with a ratio 16:10 or 16:9 and typically 720 or higher (1080) vertical lines. This is called an HD capable screen. Games, regardless of texture can run at this size (but no higher due to the screens limitations). HOWEVER, you can stretch a 1x1 pixel to the size of a 1080 screen. Does this magically make the pixel HD? No. It means the screen is HD. The definition of the image you look at, and the screen you use to look at it ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. They are measured SEPARATELY to determine true HD.You NEED BOTH to be in HD to watch an HD movie. A capable screen, and the required native minimum (720) recorded horizontal resolution of the given movie (or texture) to be defined as HD.
  6. @ xaliqen No, HD is not a marketing term anymore than 'digital' is. HD means High Definition, and is defined at better 720 or better vertical line resolution at a ration of 16:10 or 16:9. (As Rennn explained) @ Ghogiel Nonsense is one word, bro. @ Matth85 Agreed. I don’t have much more to add right now. Im surprised by the maturity of this forum, or at least the people that responded. I got more intelligent responses than I thought id get. Thanks all for the input on this matter. It was a lot better than the response I got from one of the moderators here, which basically said ‘people can name their mods whatever BS they want, even if its blown up copyright art of Bethesda, we are too lazy to moderate that thx’. Not a step in the right direction for quality imo.
  7. Edit: A lot of people ( Ghogiel & Witcher79 to name a couple ) may still be confused as to what HD means. "High Definition" 720p or 1080p is -only- considered HD if the content being displayed is native. As I explained below, you can take an SD movie at 16:9 or 16:10 and expand it to cover a 1080p screen. Does that make the video HD? NO. Same with this game. It doesn't matter what you're running it at, it matters what native resolution the textures are able to display before there is no more detail. 1080p or 720p are simply upper limits of a given display. Skyrim is capable of displaying in many HD resolutions, however the vast majority of the default textures are 512x512. ---- Hi, Im a Skyrim player and new to the Elder Scrolls modding community. First off want to say that ability to mod the game as the Elder Scrolls series allows is fantastic. Really great for the community to have fun even when they arnt out adventuring. One of the major things ive come here for is for the awesome HD textures many people have been working on and uploading for all to see their hard work. .. I just have one small beef so far.. People using photoshop/whatever to take a default texture from the game, applying (badly done) sharpening to this texture, blowing the texture up to 2048^2 or 4096^2 and pretending big numbers means they can put "HD" in the title. I will demonstrate two examples. One is truly an HD upgrade over the games textures, and one is a ... well, here they are, lets see if you can tell the difference. #1 http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2630 #2 http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2632 Now sure, some of us have 4GB of pure DDR5 pumping away, but most of us do not. The issue with (one of the above) uploads is #1 very lazy mod with no real work or visual upgrade put into it that is mislabeled HD, but more importantly #2 The image was 512x512 originally. 171KB. The blown up image with zero added actual detail is 2.5MB. For nothing. Doesnt seem like much, except not im wondering how many other cheap texture mods Ive downloaded that I need to sift through? Or any of us? Could we have some better quality control on bogus "HD" texture mods? Or at least make people more aware when commenting on bogus HD mods (be nice). Sure someone may like the look, but it isnt HD, and thats what many of us are looking for. If I wanted a sharpened effect I'd use an injector(do!). Thanks for reading, and happy (actual) HD texturing!
