Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch

Uh oh, someone soul trapped Masser and Secunda!

Hmm. Climate data has the moons disabled, but the worldspace settings look suspicious to me.

Soul Cairn has Tamriel listed as a parent worldspace. Logic says this shouldn't be the case. It also doesn't have the "use climate" checkbox set so I'm not sure if the worldspace settings are correct or not.

Sovngarde is set up the same way. Has anyone ever seen the moons there? The climate data says they should be disabled there too.

Same issue in the Boneyard.

Setting worldspace parent to NONE has no effect on it, even when a fresh save is used to enter the Soul Cairn.

Just reporting my investigations here. Maybe it's nonsense, but maybe it may bring some help.

The more I look at the CK and the more I try simple tricks (all unsuccessful), the less I understand how this can be possible...
Maybe a scripted fix would be possible ? Quests DA05 and dunBloatedMansGrottoQST have a moon modification feature :

Da05 stage 50 :

SetObjectiveCompleted(20, 1)
SetObjectiveDisplayed(50, 1)

Alias_QuestingBeastGhost.GetRef().Disable(true)

BloatedMansGrottoMapMarker.AddToMap()

;Bloated Man's Grotto setup. Takes care of enabling the hunters, enabling and moving Sinding, etc.
Alias_Sinding.ForceRefTo(WolfSinding)
dunBloatedMansGrottoQST.Setstage(10)

Then, dunBloatedMansGrottoQST Stage 10 :

;Set up initial state of the Grotto during DA05.
Alias_MainEnableMarker.GetReference().Enable()
Alias_StartEnableMarker.GetReference().Enable()
Alias_EndEnableMarker.GetReference().Enable()
Alias_DA05CollisionEnableMarker.GetReference().Enable()
BloodmoonWeatherMarker.Enable()
Alias_Sinding.GetReference().MoveTo(Alias_SindingStartPosition.GetReference())
;(Alias_Hunter00_JKier as dunSetRestrainedWhenSeated).SetRestrained(True)

Also, DA05 Stage 105 :

SetObjectiveCompleted(80, 1)
AchievementsQuest.IncDaedricQuests()
; set up Hircine outside
Alias_QuestingBeastGhost.GetReference().MoveTo(OutsideHircineMarker)
Alias_QuestingBeastGhost.GetReference().Enable()
Alias_QuestingBeastGhost.GetActorRef().SetNoFavorAllowed(true)
(Alias_QuestingBeastGhost as DA05QuestingBeastGhostScript).Setup()
Alias_QuestingBeastTA.GetReference().MoveTo(OutsideHircineMarker)
OutsideTrigger.Enable()

Alias_Sinding.GetActorReference().ModFavorPointsWithGlobal(MajorFavorPoints)

SetStage(200)

;Bloated Man's Grotto setup. Removes the Bloodmoon, etc.
dunBloatedMansGrottoQST.Setstage(100)

Then, dunBloatedMansGrottoQST Stage 100 :

{Removes the bloodmoon effect and cleans up the Grotto.}
BloodmoonWeatherMarker.Disable()

DA05BloodmoonWeatherMarker marker (ref 00105b4c) has the dunBloatedManToggleBloodmoon script applied, which has the Bloodmoon weather property type, containing BloatedMansGrottoFog weather.

This weather looks absolutely 'regular' to me, but it has some aurora effects features using a dedicated mesh (data\meshes\sky\DA05Bloodmoon.nif) displaying the regular moons textures (block 3 : textures\sky\MoonShadow.dds - block 6 : textures\sky\sun.dds - block 10 : textures\sky\Masser_full.dds). So, it may be possible to hide moons with a similar mesh that would use blank textures.

This weather also uses the ISBoatedMansGrottoFog imagespace that has the 'No Sky' setting ticked in the Depth of field section (also with specific subvalues), certainly to prevent the regular moons from displaying.

By comparison, Sovngarde imagespaces are :
ISSovngardeClear : No sky ticked with specific subvalues
ISSovngardeDark : No sky ticked with specific subvalues
ISSovngardeFog : No sky unticked with specific subvalues


EDIT :
WTF !!! The moons settings in climates should be effective, but they don't. It's obviously an engine bug, period. However, I just discovered that the CK is lacking crucial settings and editing features for weathers (such as the book/note option). And there's an issue with each Soul Cairn weather : TES5Edit allows some 'Moon Glare' settings in the NAM0 field that the CK just doesn't display. It turns out these values are colours values, and setting them to zeros just make the moons invisible/vanishing !
:bunny: :bunny: :bunny: :partyhorker: :bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

Fix here. First, go back in Tamriel worldspace to enable Soul Cairn weathers update. :D

Fixed for UDGP 2.1.0.

Nice job Nico, that works perfectly!
