RolazLaguna Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 I am making a mod for FOLON. Anywhere I place a decal, it shows in CK perfectly. When going to the game, it appears just the first time I enter the cell. It doesn't matter if it is an interior or an exterior cell. After coming back to the cell, the decals are gone. I have tried to use primitive (in project decal tab) and/or to generate precombines and previs. I have also tried to place them on different surfaces, placing the arrow at different distances and angles from the surfaces. I have tested this with both original FO4 decals and FOLON decals. Also combining several decals on the same surface. The result is always the same: all decals just disappear after returning to the cell. I could not find a solution to that after searching for quite long (even watched the very long and instructive video of Neeher). Is it somehow related to any visual settings or something else? Observation: decals placed by the FOLON devs suffer the same defect; I went to Candem, checked a couple of decals in Albert House, went to a nearby interior, returned and the decals were gone (specifically among them Folon_Decal_106, but not only).

84Cronos Posted December 14, 2024 Share Posted December 14, 2024 Afaik, that's a known bug of the fallout 4 engine. It just doesn't handle projected decals very well. I think they only "respawn" after a certain amount of time has passed when re-entering an interior. It's a real shame that Bethesda hasn't fixed the issue after all these years.

RolazLaguna Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Thanks, I did not see your reply until now. Yes, I can confirm your explanation: the decals only reappear after a very long since the first visit to the cell, regardless of being interior or exterior. Very inconvenient. I tried all possible tricks I found around to make them persistent, giving them locreftype etc, but nothing worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niston Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I have found that decals in the exterior vanish after entering an interior and exiting it again. It is a very annoying bug. Reminds me I've got to replace some of the street marking decals in Concord mod with custom NIFs, because of that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolazLaguna Posted Monday at 09:28 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:28 AM Niston, thanks for stopping by in this discussion. I asked also to neeher on a message and he also responded the same (he published a video using extensive decals back in the past). I really tried plenty of different things but nothing works: using the primitive instead of the arrow, inserting the must persist keyword, giving the decals a locreftype... I saw the disappearance both in interiors and exteriors, for modded and non-modded areas... Brrrr! Your solution must be the only possibility, unless there is a way to change how the decals respawn.
