Welp, I had very weird bug with this mod enabled. Until I removed it, my spell projectiles when facing a draugr were invisible and theirs too. now it's fixed, not sure what could cause it since it's only a retex but w/e.
nevermind, just scrolled down ... and it confirmed it
I'm not sure if this is a problem with this mod, but for some reason my draugrs are completely black when coming from a low-lit area. Otherwise, it looks great!
oooh that looks very zombie-ish I like, dling now! edit : just tried it, draugr looked way too shiny to be in a dusty and dirty crypt for my taste, those draugrs did not just get skinned alive like in hellraiser if you see what I mean, the effect is well made but just too out of place for me, I deleted the _n.dds files and personnally I like it better, they are still red but more like smoked ham or something lol let's just say the smoke from all those torches and fires did that to them like the maggots in the face detail
it look very good, i hope the best for you to make this mod more "realistic zombie" the flesh and the little parts of human left it looks perfect.
opinions: mmm maybe in the future could will see in some draug a little of bone? you know... a part over here over there....they are mummies zombies so well some draug could see like they still have parts of "paper" stick in the flesh I KNOW this is very hard so take your time and try to recreat also your own draugs
i will give a try to tell you if they are some bugs or somethig that doest not go well
I've always thought of draugr as dried up mummified centuries old creatures. Gotta keep in mind how long they have been decaying in there with only imperfect magic keeping them animated and 'alive'. I know it's hard to incorporate that into a gooey gory mod like this but it could be pulled off with what you are aiming for. Maybe make their skin a bit more ashen and add signs of decay. They honestly look like pretty freshly mauled corpses here.
I noticed a bug that let me deinstall the mod (bleeding heart though, I loved it) Not sure if it was because some mods interfered (hope so and there is no problem here). But I wanted to let you know.
At some ankles some fx disappeared, parts of the hair, the eyes, fog, magical fx - killing draugr around me fixed it. So i thought about what changes my draugr fx (it seemed like the eye fx killed my fx too) - after deinstalling your mod the vanishing stopped.
I used the version that had no glow at the eyes - so maybe it also stops some other fx around it? No idea, hoping it was an issue on my side and not yours. Loved the retexture so far
I also had this exact problem with invisible flames, spells, ghosts that sort of thing, tried reinstalling my drivers and Skyrim then testing my mods one at a time and it is definitely this mod causing the error, took me a long long time to figure that one out! Perhaps the mod author could put a warning for this possible bug on the page to let others know too.
Same, this mod causes particles to disappear when looking at certain angles, for some reason. I don't know why all particle effects are linked to draugr fx meshes but w/e
phew that was a fun 30 minutes debugging
EDIT: Nevermind I know what this is. The game still bugs out and puts draugr eyes on the character even if some mods like the USKP have tried to fix it. So the transparent glow shader is being put over your player character's eyes and when you look straight on at something you don't see the particles because your vision is 'obscured' by an empty mesh. When you're sufficiently turned away from something you can see the effect in the corner of your vision.
