Mookeylama Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 basically, i'll walk towards a section of wall and when i'm just a few feet from it, the glossy look will just suddenly appear. it happens on stone walls in like basements (Alvor's basement), stone walls (in the qasmoke test cell), and in caves (Bittleshin pass), but i saw it on a few wood chests too. i've uninstalled mods like ELFX, and SMIM. i even started to just delete any mesh and texture folder that sounded like it'd be connected. landscape, architecture, terrain, clutter, dungeon, ect. i'm lost. i had a problem similar to this ages ago and it was conflict between ELFX and Project Parallax, but i fixed that. could it be my ENB or some ini setting? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think what yyou are seeing is related to the default decal settings...there are a couple of mods that address this, you can just search "decal" in the search box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookeylama Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 thanks, but i've tried both those decal mods, and they worked great for exteriors. moss and the like on walls. still use 1 of them (the ini tweak one). no this is always indoors. i have a couple pics that show it, but they're so simple. 1 has me at about 8 feet from a stone wall. no gloss or shine. the 2nd pic shows me having moved forward about 1 foot, now gloss lol.

blitzen Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Try messing with fSpecularLODStartFade in SkyrimPrefs.ini. It could be related to normal map/specular map handling by the game engine. Mine is set to 5500, but that's arbitrary. Try different values and see if it has any effect. There are other config parameters which could also come into play, but I'd try that one first just to see if the behaviour changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just the distance, or does the angle at which you are viewing the wall matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookeylama Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 it is also the angle sometimes. good questioni'll give the spec ini setting a try. thanx edit: my spec is at 2000.000 and i never changed it so i guess that's default for Ultra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mookeylama Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 nope, changing spec didn't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
