Well old games are much niccer than newer ones imo. There's somethign in their simplicity that is magical. I hope you'll get to enjoy lots of cool old games.
i fixed them pretty much all a while back, but then i threw it all away again, cause i stopped playing and modding NV. The only ones i have online are Fallout 3 rocks..
Bethesda and Odsidian's meshes UV's are a damn mess. Even the ones that dont have stretched triangles cause their edges are clinged together.
When I see rocks with stretched UV, I get PTSD. You would not believe how many UV issues are spread across all those darn rocks. A bunch even straight up have holes that need plugging. I think I spent 3x as much time fixing rocks during my last playthrough as I did playing the game.
And that's when I remember all these meshes had their collision improved in Collision Meshes FNV.
This mod places the fixed waterrockcanyon08.nif in nv_rocks. In my vanilla files at least, waterrockcanyon08.nif is actually in rocks. And yeah, the mesh is indeed part of Collision Meshes FNV. I think all the rock meshes are.
That's weird... probably removed the rocks part, because the vanilla collision was not bad at all. You know highpoly collisions lowers fps a lot.
if you want the collision from the mod you can siimply copy nitristripsdata from this mesh and paste over on the other with nifskope (rclick>block>copy ------->"use paste over when pasting instead")
Yeah, I know. Vanilla wasn't bad. Collision Meshes is recognizably better though, so it's what I use. Since I haven't dropped below 60fps in 6+ years, I feel like the improvement is something I can justify taking advantage of.

I've had to maintain compatibility patches for Collision Meshes FNV. Mainly just pointing all this out in case you yourself were interested in doing so.

I recommend the regular version, since it's more stable to walk on, and still very accurate.
