Sounds good to me, I also agree seasonal variation is good.

I dont like my winter version anyway, so I can recreate it without snow.

It will also depend on if we can get a different nature bilboards for winter jungle. Now they are same as in summer. This must go hand in hand

Well, there are no issues while playing (testing), if thats what you are thinking about?

I can send you my winter test demo MOD, if you want -to test it. It has only 2 trees but it'll do the job.



ADDENDUM -Ok Ive checked just now, in your (@Hazelnut) version (Alpha 0.10.7) at least, of the DU, winter set works inside places of interest (eg towns).

Put Rocks of Daggerfall on top of that for extra fun.

Maybe you could use a "snow shader".

Doesn't look too neat, but at least gives the impression that there is snow, when everything else is covered.

I would prefer them to have collisions. Fighting in a forest would be a whole different experience, especially when weapon collisions my combat overhaul has added. Could you just enable a no clip mode for the player when they initiate tedious travel, so they just clip through objects?

While that would work you risk getting random encounters inside of trees or rocks that could possibly get you stuck.

Oh, true, didn't consider that. Could you do a quick check of some type to see if the player is within an object/collision mesh and move them out? Or do you, yet again, run the risk of moving them into something and getting them stuck. Or, not initiate the encounter if they are in an object?

Update:
Ive added one more LOD group in between the highest and billboards, which makes transitions to be a bit smoother, so no more that much obvious snapping between LODs. Also Ive increased the resolution of the billboards, from previous 512x512 to 1024x1024, which gives a little bit clearer image of the trees of the billboards distance.

This decreased performance for just a little bit, from previous MOD iteration of just 1 lod and 1 billboard(512x512). Its not much, it is pretty much playable still, but it was the only way to balance all things together. Hopefully as @Hazelnut said, he could increase performance for just a little bit more from the present version. So finger crossed.
