Anyone else using the Snowbox V2 finding it not working in V1.11 and any idea why?

Not sure if it's a script or other issue as yet?

Snowbox V1 works but not very useful and Snowbox V2 does not work and is far, far superior.

Thanks

Hi @Uman, haven't tried the snow boxes lately but the rain box (by same artist) no longer works. I can say for sure it worked before since I was testing some skyboxes with it a couple of weeks ago, but GG V1.111 has broken it

Sometimes shaders get broken with updates, try pointing the shader in V2 to the shader used in V1 if that one works, I suspect the texture was improved in V2 and will work with the other shader. Change it in the fpe and see if works, if the frames are off then you change these in the shader itself.

I noticed that also the transparancy has changed.
I Always used pirate Mykes fountain shader for water, but that was also not working anymore.
changing the transparancy.. i believe to 3 did the job and eveything was working again.

so maybe also check the transparancy and try onther settings

That shader I can not take credit for. Bond1 made that shader. But yes, for some reason if you are using it, transparency to 3 instead of 5 and it will work again.

Looking at the snow decalV2 one now.

EDIT:

So if you had some stuff that used Transparency mode 5 and it does not work, change it to transparency = 3. This makes the snow decals work again.

Ok, Rolfy gets the prize today for spotting the info.
Lee did in fact make some changes to the transparency modes.
Mode 5 is now mode 6. If you used mode 5 for stuff change it to mode 6 and it should work.

Mode 5 now will be for water. From Lee.

This may still not be fully integrated yet. As I could not see the snow at Transparency mode 6. Changing it to mode 3 works.

Sorry for all the confusion.
