Kenway83 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Hi I was wanting to know is it possible to work on multiple cells at once? Also a question about a problem I'm having. As I said I'm new to this, started yesterday.Watched some videos and I think I have the basics to get started.I'm starting by cleaning sanctuary so the 10 cells that covers.I started at cell 5 just to see if I was doing it right them tested it in-game, first time everything was disappearing as I walked to the cell so I went back to the videos and found I'd not done the 3 steps. 1) PreCombine Geometry for current cell2) Generate Visibility for all loaded cells3) Generate PreCombined Visibility for all loaded cells That fixed it and everything worked smoothly so now I'm doing the rest but I have 2 questions about this. 1) how do I start a new save file?Everything is saving under the first. 2) when doing steps 2 and 3 it's covering the same areas as it did when doing cell 5, the areas are not next to cell 5.How do I fix this? Thank you for any help given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenway83 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 I have worked out question 1 how to do a new save but still when doing steps 2 and 3 it's doing the same area's.For example I'm in sanctuary cell 1 but when I generate visibility and PreCombined Visibility it's switching to cell 3. WTF. help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niston Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Precombines/Previs span more than a single cell. I think for previs, it's 3 cells.Hence why mods with Previs/Precombines often cause incompatibilities with other mods, even if they don't edit the exact same cells. If you want to ditch the whole previs/precombine crutch entirely, you can set "No Previs" flag for individual cells to disable previs. Precombines are auto-disabled if something that is part of a precombine in the cell is changed. Not having previs/precombines is usually considered acceptable (even preferrable to some) for settlement cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenway83 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 Thank you for your response. So how should that work with viewing in game?From what I understand it's there to help with loading times as well as viewing from one cell to another. As if it's not done things disappear as you walk up to a edited cell. Not having previs don't that effect your Fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenway83 Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Right I've left previs on and just been trying to work out what I did wrong.I've been doing just sanctuary cell 1 and 5,I've got cell 1 working with no problems but doing the same thing to cell 5 loads of things like road are disappearing and reappearing. Why is this, what am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
