help about wrong illumination on water surface (windows)

Hi

First of all say hello and excuse my english. I have installed some mods for Oblivion and for illuminated windows.

I tried first with the basic included in RAEVWD but because it was not working well (texture corruption) I installed and tried the texelation basic mod, after also illumination within and finally now I installed Animated Window Lighting System and Chimneys - AWLS (the best one I think).

All of these are working fine except for one thing. Sometimes the lights in the windows are turned off but the reflection in water is turned on. The water reflects illuminated windows but they aren't illuminated. The best place to see it is around ships.

I don't know what to do. I have a realistic water mod and looks good but I can't make the windows reflection to be the same in the water (in the water is illuminated always fixed).

thanks in advance.

All I can say is, it seems you have some controversies. It may be even possible that the water reflection is a basic issue that can't be fixed since mods aren't perfect, as aren't games...

I see two ways:

1. Live with the problem. If it's not "that bad" just accept it. Life ain't perfect...
2. Get a new start. Save your saves to a safe place, uninstall everything, be careful to get rid of everything, re-install it all, and TAKE CARE when you install mods: one at a time.

thanks for the reply :)

Yes, I think too that the water reflection is an unfixed modify. Perhaps the reflection can only use 1 file and it uses the "windows turned on" file and it can't change throught the lights on and off.

I used this patch to tray to turn off the lights RAEVWD Unlit Windows 526 unique downloads 713 downloads 608kb size
Non-illuminated windows for those who prefer them.

This patch fixes all, always turned off windows and reflection.

Then it seems the reflection only uses 1 file, I supose as you.

I think I will try to finish the game as I have it now because If I try to put more mods I will have errors and bugs.

Now I am quite happy with all the qarl 3 textures, raevwd, francesco's leveled and a lot more for better weather and HQ.


thanks again
