Complex material processing is now ENABLED by default, specify --ignore-complex-material to disable it. If you previously had the --enable-complex-material CLI argument it MUST BE REMOVED or the program will not run at all since it is no longer valid.

Fixed a crash that would occur with special characters during loose file mapping, dynamic cubemaps are applied to all complex material meshes except weapons/armor now.

Added additional error reporting for GPU code

Added support for Enderal and Enderal SE, fixed a crash when ini file is invalid

Small bug fixes

Some TruePBR fixes

Hotfix for 0.7.0 (see changelog)

Plugin patching! ParallaxGen.esp will be created now with patched TXST records. Put ParallaxGen.esp as late as possible, but before DynDoLOD.esp. You may need to install .NET runtime (see requirements). See changelog for other changes in 0.6

Hotfix for 0.5.6, fixes some parallax/CM stuff being missed. Also improves trace logging usefulness

Added "fix mesh lighting" patcher, other small fixes (see changelog)

Initial release in beta - expect issues!

Several bug fixes, mainly around armor plugin patching (see changelog)

Fixed BSAs not be detected due to case sensitivity, fixed crash that would occur for shapes without shaders, fixed obvious texture seams

Lots of optimizations and introduced multi-threading for mesh patching step. It should be much faster than before. Also adds PBR glint support. If you used the MMCM patch before you need to download it again.

Now ignores back lighting shaders when generating mesh to avoid lighting issues

Added --upgrade-shaders argument, which when enabled will upgrade all vanilla parallax to complex material (allows you to use BDSv3 or no snow shader mods while also using parallax). GPU acceleration is used through the DX11 API for DDS decoding

Fixed non-ascii file paths crashes

Added --upgrade-shaders argument, which when enabled will upgrade all vanilla parallax to complex material (allows you to use BDSv3 or no snow shader mods while also using parallax). GPU acceleration is used through the DX11 API for DDS decoding [HOTFIX]

- Added log flush every 3 seconds to prevent log from being lost on app crash
- Added error message if loadorder.txt doesn't exist

Added additional error handling pre-mesh generation

Just one bug fix for duplicate meshes saving with no data. If you saw invisible meshes with 0.8 (without optimize meshes on), this should fix it

Fixed crash when BSA fails to read file (could be from invalid checksum etc.)

Fixed CLI arg error when specifying --ignore-parallax. Added the --optimize-meshes CLI arg to optimize generated meshes

Lots of bug fixes and code cleanup. Also added GOG game support

Mostly a ton of cleanup and bug fixes. Also added smarter complex material map lookup, and mask.dds and _em.dds files are also searched now.

Fixed a memory leak, some additional optimization

Cleaned up CLI arguments and added additional error checking

Complex material meshes now get the default dynamic cubemap applied to them, except weapons/armor.
LOD meshes are no longer patched

Hotfix for --optimize-meshes not actually doing anything

Adds a GUI (CLI arguments no longer work - remove them)
Added mod manager hook option for mod conflict resolution
ParallaxGen.esp will be flagged ESL if possible
Other additions and fixes (See changelog)

Generated mesh blocks are sorted before saving to prevent invisible mesh issues

Shaders are no longer pre-compiled, moved some checks to vanilla parallax only instead of both complex and vanilla

Fixed log flushing issues that was truncating logs

Fixed corrupt/invalid NIFs causing crashes and hangs

pgtools.exe added as a modders tool.
Made TXST patching much more compatible and prevent issues with mixing shader types (PBR and CM for example)
A ton of other smaller changes - see changelog

Reverted the 0.8 change that adds vanilla mods to conflict resolution (was causing too many issues, it will return when I update the conflict system in 0.9 to be more user-friendly)
Other fixes (see changelog)

Hotfix for 0.8.4, which was broken in more ways than one, apologies

Reverted the 0.8 change that adds vanilla mods to conflict resolution (was causing too many issues, it will return when I update the conflict system in 0.9 to be more user-friendly)
Other fixes (see changelog)

Fixed parallax heightmaps not applying correctly for some meshes, Aspect ratio of texture maps are checked for complex material now too, Added additional error handling during BSA read step, CLI arguments are now printed to console, Wrong CLI argume

Adds allowlist, blocklist, texture maps, and vanilla bsa lists to GUI
MO2 users get the option to use their loose file (left pane) order as the PG order and skip the manual ordering (recommended)
Several other smaller fixes and features, see changelog

Hotfix for 0.8.0

Fixed meshes with soft/rim lighting from applying vanilla parallax (only works w/ complex material)

Community shaders TruePBR support, load order allowlist/denylist feature

New method for determining what textures are by searching NIFs. Should fix incorrectly named files like mineore_p.dds etc. behaving weirdly.
Upgrade-shader output now has all mipmap levels
Added --high-mem and --disable-mlp CLI arguments (see main page)

Fixed pbr and complex material applying at the same time, additional error handling for BSA loading

More fixes (see changelog)

Fixed havok attached meshes causing crashes

More error handling and logging for pre-generation

Split plugins are supported now. PG will now generate minimum 2 plugins. Other fixes (see changelog)

Added formid caching which should hopefully prevent texture mismatch issues when regenerating PG without regenerating dyndolod.

Some other stuff/fixes too, see changelog

Use 0.8.9 if on VR, there is a critical bug with VR only

Added "Enable Diagnostics" option to advanced options to help with user support.
Reduced file size of package by half
Other small additions (see changelog)

Put this immediately after SMIM. Fixes a missing target issue in a SMIM mesh that causes crashes after ParallaxGen patches it.

I WOULD RECOMMEND GETTING "MESH IMPROVEMENT COMPILATION" ON NEXUS INSTEAD OF THIS. Fixes a missing target issue in a SMIM mesh that causes CTD in-game after patching with ParallaxGen. Load right after SMIM
