📋 About This Mod

Using one of ENB's latest features, parallax can be added to decals. Currently covers only the "default" option. Also reported working with Community Shaders and Complex Parallax Materials.

Requirements:

Deadly Spell Impacts

ENB + ENB preset with complex parallax enabled (EnableComplexParallax=true & EnableComplexParallaxShadows=true in enbseries.ini)

OR Community Shaders and Complex Parallax Materials.

Compatibility/Info:

  • []Not compatible with any mod that alters the Impact decal textures. Patches Added

    []Not compatible with any other parallax implementation except ENB's. Reported compatible with CS.

    []If the effect is not visible try deleting ENBCache folder.

    []The transparency fix for ENB is not needed. Included in DSI 1. 8+.

    []Normal and environmental maps are saved with BC7 compression.

    []Esp marked as Esl.

    []Complex parallax (complex material) is NOT supported in the VR version of ENB yet.

    []Snow shaders that are multi pass do not display the decals on the surfaces they are applied (Simplicity of Snow, Majestic Mountains, Better Dynamic Snow 2)

    Issues:

    • []Some surfaces do not display/register the impacts. This is an issue with the original mod too, further investigation is needed.

      []Glow maps do not work on the decals (yet?).

      []Some visual issues with rainy weathers and ENBWetsurfaces (found a fix, needs some testing). Should be fixed in 2. 0.

      Future Plans:

      • []Brand new textures

        []Parallax the remaining options

        []Vanilla version(?) won't do

        []Compatibility with Arctic, Inferno and Voltage (ongoing)

        []Bug fixes
