Could someone please give detailed instructions on how to install this mod or make it work? I've tried everything and the mod doesn't seem to do anything except from making fires disappear. All the things I thought the mod would fix are still present, light sources going out when I walk past them, shadows and window lights disappearing etc. I've downloaded Part 1 from NewFires and Part 2 from Truefires, HDRP is already installed, + the compatibility mod. I've put all the files in the right folders, created a mods.settings file in the Documents Witcher 3 folder as follows:
I've tried all priorities combinations (as no one mentions if setting the lowest value gives priority or setting it to the highest one -?-)
Still nothing, now there are no fires in cities, only light sources, and they don't seem to be any different from vanilla version. 3070Ti Graphics card, also tried performance versions, same results.
First priority to the compatibility patch, then True Fires, then HDRP. Take care putting all stuff into the right folders. DLC-stuff to dlc-Folder and mod-Stuff to mod-folder.
I recommend to use the Performance Version 4 of True Fires. Do NOT use NEW FIRES from the download page of Hyadum. That is some different mod, it has nothing to do with True Fires. Download and use the dlc-Part of True Fires that is offered for download there.
Would you still recommend against using the compatibility patch for HDRP altogether, like you mentioned in an earlier post? Or is that just for if your modified performance version of True Fires Part 1 (from said earlier post) is being used? I'm using your version so I'm wondering what the ideal setup should be.
What does the compatibility patch even do in this case?
Nah, you could better use the HDRP-Compatibility-Patch. I use it too, since a while now, all fine.
So, as in my post below in terms of load order: First Compatibility Patch, then True Fires, then HDRP.
Besides that, I use Natural Torchlight and for that is also some compatibilty patch existing regarding True Fires, which you could give priority above True Fires.
For those who use Natural Torchlight. I think it is a must have. And the compatibility fix for it is just for Geralt's Torch - so not THAT important, but why not use it?
Last but not least, you should use a fix for the few issues that True Fires creates. There are four issues I know, three of them are fixed. One left remaining, but it maybe can be fixed in the future, too.
You can find that fix made by Fabian on Discord.
And as this is my personal experience, I still recommend to use the Performance Version 4 for True Fires. The little True Fires Fix should have priority above True Fires.
Many thanks for the detailed response! That's very helpful.
I'm using Natural Torchlight as well, but I'm a little confused by your mention of a "compatibility patch" for it and True Fires. All I could find is True Fires saying to give Natural Torchlight higher priority (which I've already done). Do you mean there's a separate download for this somewhere? I couldn't find one on either mod's page or as a separate mod.
And I'm not on Discord anymore, do you happen to have a link/mirror for Fabian's mod? Others here might want it, too.
Thanks so much! This is extremely helpful, for me and undoubtedly future viewers.
Pardon this one last question, though: where should the main Natural Torchlight folder be in the load order now, with the compatibility patch? True Fires recommends that Natural Torchlight be higher, but is that different now when the patch is also installed?
Good to hear, that you are happy now with True Fires.
Natural Torchlight, the main mod, has no issues with True Fires. The only one is solved by the compatibility patch. So the load order of Natural Torchlight regarding True Fires is most likely irrelevant. But through the Name with N and T it is solved the way, that Natural Torchlight loads first, which is fine.
AetherSeraph9 when you use the compatibility patch it doesn't matter in which order these mods are(provided the patch fixes all conflicts between mods). The compatibility patch must be higher than both and that's it
This was a game changer,saved me an hair before deleting this mod after the bugs with light source and meshes a had (i assume that i was having compatibility problems with PLM)..thank you very much for this pack my friend ,whatever sorcery was done here, it magically worked perfect for me!
Thank you so much for your performance version. I liked the idea of everything True Fires offered, including the bug fixes, and was dismayed to find that just standing outside of Novigrad without even going inside it bombed my fps from 60 to 40 but installing your version brought it back up to 60 again. I installed the latest one I found posted in here that you uploaded on 2021-12-04 07:25:58 according to the MediaFire page. Is that the final one or did I miss a post while digging for your version link?
Edit: Oh good, I managed to be up-to-date then. Thank you again <3
guys if I have like 50 other cosmetic mods but priority doesn't matter for them, do I need to literally type them all out in this "mods.settings" txt file, literally my whole mod list?? or is it just enough to type out these 3 entries for True Fires, HDRP, and compatibility patch? (I install all mods manually)
I'm so confused by priority talk, dunno if it means bigger or smaller number... is this ok???
I have not checked the next-gen update of the game so far (lack of time aswell as the issues that the update has prevented me from doing so). But I saw comments that True Fire still works fine in next-gen?
I have downloaded and installed your package. thanks. But BIA also conflicts with True Fire and provides a patch, and I'm using it. It's not the version 4 you provided, so shouldn't the difference here be a problem?
Hey SorceressJ if you do patch for next gen the main issue I am having is in the modTrueFires file. It causes the torch to be on fire all the way down the handle which is obviously not the intended look. You can see a picture of this in the comments for this mod. Everything else I can confirm seems to be working as intended including the patches for HDRP and Natural Torchlight.
does anyone know what is causing this minor bug? everything else is working flawlessly mods that im using : True Fires (this mod) New Torch FX Natural Torchlight
Thanks for your great mod. However; I have a little problem with the wrought iron braziers that no longer appear; there is only the coal which floats a little above the ground (see image). I installed part 1 and 2 but no patches since HDRP is no longer needed since Next Gen and I don't use Increased Draw Distance either.
After reflexion; I can also point out that I use Better Torches Next-Gen and Road Lights - DLC But I don't think there is a conflict; nothing is indicated in Script manager
Ok thanks now it works. I could not understand why, but it must be said that it's rather poorly explained. As I said above; I no longer use the mod "The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project" since it's integrated into the Next Gen. So; I didn't install the compatibility patch; that's just where the error was. It would be good to specify for newbies like me that the fact that HDRP is integrated into the Next Gen doesn't exempt from the installation of the compatibility patch
Properly updating this mod would require obtaining a list of files changed by CDPR in 4.0 that also exist in this mod, and then forwarding all changes made to those files. Ideally, an update would be based on optimised and bugfixed version provided by SorceressJ.

Next Gen version doesn't have a mod.settings file for me. Or if there is a fix for either of this, would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot, hope we can make this work.

Follow instructions and all will be good.

is this ok???
[modHDReworkedProjectCompatibilityForTrueFires]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 50
[modTrueFires]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 51
[modHDReworkedProject]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 52
[modHDReworkedProject2]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 52
[modHDReworkedProject3]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 52
[modHDReworkedProject4]
Enabled = 1
Priority = 52
But to have it work for sure, you need to remove the spaces.
Enabled=1
Priority=50 (like in your example)
But BIA also conflicts with True Fire and provides a patch, and I'm using it.
