Hide Grass
a MGE-XE/MWSE-Lua/Mash mod
by abot
Inspired by Turn Normal Grass and Kelp into Groundcover, hopefully easier to maintain for MWSE-Lua users
Hide/delete most exterior/exterior like grass statics references on the fly
to be rendered as moving grass by MGE-XE instead.
No need to copy meshes to Data Files\Grass folder if you are using some mesh replacer.
No need to update .esp files each time Tamriel Data/BCOM/Project Tamriel or similar mods update references,
as long as grass meshes paths are not changed.
1. extract archive content to Morrowind installation folder
2. run MGE-XE, Distant Land, Distant Land Generator Wizard, Continue, Distant Land Configuration Setup,
and when in the Statics tab add (if not present already) provided "Hide Grass.ovr" to the list of statics overriding
3. finish the generating distant land process (only the distant statics regeneration is needed usually,
but you can regenerate everything, it does not hurt).
That's it. The MWSE-Lua mod should disable related grass statics on the fly in game,
so they are rendered by MGE-XE only as grass instead.
Notes:
options are in theoric better FPS/Speed order
"0 Off" will disable the on-the-fly hiding,
"1 Cull" will disable Morrowind.exe rendering of the managed grass-like mesh
"2 Cull, Disable" will also disable the in game reference
"3 Cull, Disable, Delete" will also delete the reference from current game session
"4 Cull, Disable, Delete, Modify" will also store the reference changes to savegames
"4 Cull, Disable, Delete, Modify" could make things faster on reload,
but then if you want to uninstall this mod and keep using one of these saves,
you would need to clean the grass deletions by applying the provided
Mopy\Data\Removers\Hide Grass.txt Mash references remover to the save.
TL;DR; if you don't know what a Mash Remover is, probably better not to use this option.
Version history:
1.02 - added tr_flora_at_spartium to the grass list
1.01 - process only exterior and interior like exterior cells
regenerate MGE-XE distant statics after updating the mod
