Well, nothing too relevant to say, but if you go with my idea of a detect life shader for vampire players, or for detect life shaders in general, best not to use membrane shaders and stick with
membrane particle ones. It seems only one membrane can play on the actor, so if he has another like the fortify shaders, the detect life ones won't play.
Also, maybe there is a way to create a 'shader library' of sorts, so that users could choose which shaders would play on each type of actor? I think there are so many and tastes are so different that it would be impossible to make it too exhaustive, but maybe it would be possible to at least let the user choose among all the SM shaders for any type of creature.
It would need defining a few shaders as reference variables in a quest script. Depending on a numeric value set in the ini, the script assigns a shader to a variable, and the detect life script would simply PMS those variables.
something like:
int shaderNormalOptionint shaderUndeadOption...ref shaderNormalref shaderUndead...if shaderNormalOption == 1let shaderNormal := zzLifeDetectedBrightelseif shaderNormalOption == 2let shaderNormal := zzLifeDetectedelseif......if shaderUndeadOption == 1let shaderUndead := zzLifeDetectedBrightelseif...
and the script on the detect life token would PMS Lifedetectquest.shaderUndead on undeads, Lifedetectquest.shaderNormal on default, etc... the mod would also need to include a screenshot for the user to compare shaders and know which number is which shader.
Edit: also, some of the name check in the script seems a bit redundant. It is safe to assume that GetCreatureType is going to catch correctly most references to determine the correct shader. Mods like MMM will generally use correct creature types, so anything that looks and is named like a daedra will likely be GetCreatureType 1 with no name check needed, plus AbGhostNPC is probably the only relevant spell that positively tells a NPC is supposed to be a spirit of sorts, any other undead gets caught with GetCreatureType 2 or Getvampire.
So what remains useful is the names used by NPCs who should be categorized as daedra/undead, namely knights of order (useless bit of info: although it seems they may not be daedra, but
something else) from vanilla, or golden saints and banshees from overhauls; and passing the race name of the npc as a string and evaluating it (mainly for the new daedric races in race balancing project, and zombie races in MMM)

And yes, it does indeed seem like an awful big number of tokens being removed at once. So if I understand you right (which I probably don't), there should be less general tokens being removed if I go to a previously unloaded cell?
