[REL] The Unique Landscapes Project : IV - Oblivion

You should definitely use the Unique Landscape Distant LODs, as if you don't, the new stuff from Unique Landscape mods will pop up only when you are close to them, and not while afar.

Everytime you add a mod that noticably changes exterior cells like Unique Landscapes, you should run http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15781 to rebuild your distant lod. Most of the newer landscapes do not come with the DistantLOD because it's much easier to generate them yourself based on whatever mods you have installed.

I found massive land tear from Blackwood Forest, near Leyawiin. Since I'm also using Better Cities, I suspect this is a result of a minor mod conflict. This might need a compatibility patch.

I'll look into that.

Today I noticed there is an area east of sewers exit where water is too high compared to sea level. There is a hugr rock and on both sides the water level is floating in the air. It is caused by UL for sure, I guess from Imperial Isle since it is the only part that edits this part. Confirmed by deactivating omod. Is this solved in newest release 1.4.6?

EDIT: loaded 1.4.6 and everything is OK!

What is the difference if I choose to overwrite distant lod in Tamriel cells when I am ask during UL instalation and if I don't. Is it a must? When installing 1.4.2 i did overwrite, but don't know what exactly I did.

Imperial Isle 1.4.6? If that's a valid version number then what you have is well behind the current one which is 1.6.2. You should look at updating that since it corrects MANY bugs and also adds some new stuff on the NW side of the island.

You should always update to the latest version, regardless of how many changes are in it, as if you use an older one, more mods could be incompatible, and even the UL Patches could cause errors, as they are meant for newer versions.

No, UL compilation 1.4.6 it is the latest version i've found on Tesnexus.

And BTW, that floating sea is back again. Have to do some more tests.

The patch is here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13834 assuming you meant where to get it.

It was a rather complex operation. The fort ruins that were sitting in the same place as Ravenview were the biggest issue. I had to start by loading only Cloudtop and an empty patch ESP into the CS, move the fort, then once that was done I loaded both mods and the patch into the CS and fixed the remaining issues. Land tears, trees inside buildings, etc. Far easier to do without the fort and the buildings all clashing with each other. Would have been 10x more of a pain to move the village instead due to all the persistent objects and the fact that it was designed with the assumption that you'd be looking over the cliff south into Cyrodiil.

Very nice! One stop patch shopping. However, the included read me makes no reference to Ravenview at all. Is it an actual patch to be used along with Ravenview and "normal" Cloudtop, or a separate version of Cloudtop designed to be used with Ravenview instead of normal Cloudtop?

Ravenview Village is part of the Shezrie's Villages compilation mod. The patch works with that and the normal version of Cloudtop.

uh oh...I don't have the compilation mod. I just have the individual villages... Did Shezrie do the compilation, or someone else?

nvm, I see Ob Real Estate is up and they have it there. Time to get this all updated and give it a spin...

I seem to be missing the water for the River Ethe and I can't figure out why. All the files are in the right place. The only other mod I use that alters the landscape is Improved Water, but even with that loaded before UL or just deactivated altogether I still have no water. Any help would be appreciated.

Use Wrye Bash and the C.Water tag.

Sounds like the classic case of the UOP and the C.Water tag. Remove that tag from the UOP and rebuild your bashed patch. The problem should sort itself out then, and likely sort out many other water issues at the same time.

Is the Unique Landscapes mod optimized with http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1014947?

Assume all the ULs are. They've all been through updates recently and any that supply meshes have been through that process already.

That was indeed the trick. Thanks!

I am having the same problem. How do you find, and remove the C.Water tag in Wyre Bash? (I probably won't understand it, unless you say it as simply as possible, lol)

Click on the mod in the list on the left side where all your mods are listed. To the right you see a bunch of little windows. One of them lists the tags - in it you will see the water tag and some others. Right click your mouse with the cursor inside that box. You will see a list of possible tags there, and the water tag will be checked. Click on it so it's not checked. And that's about it...

Hey Arthmoor? Or anyone else who knows.... Will there be an updated UL:II and new roads+bridges patch? The last one's only compatible with UL:II 1.5 and we're up to 1.62. It works but I can't access my menus properly (which seems to be an issue whenever I find an incompatible mod)

Would help if I updated NBR first to 4.4.4

Umm, in my "Bash Tags" area, all that's listed is: Delev, and Relev.

I guess, another mod is conflicting with it then.

Cheydinhal is so close to being done...95%...that I am literally freaking out!

are you checking the right mod? That doesn't sound right.

Make sure C.Water isn't also listed in the mod description window above there. You'll need to remove it from there if it is, and don't forget to click the save button or changing the description won't stick.

No, that doesn't sound right.

It's the "Unofficial Oblivion Patch" which you have to check.
It should have these tags:
C. Climate
C. Light
C. Owner
Delev
Invent
Names
Relev
Stats

If it also hase C. Water, then remove it.

Yes, but those tags may only show up in the mod's description, at the bottom of it, where you normally won't see it. Bash will pull tags from there too.
