describe:
New ice cave and ice related shaders.
The mod is made with Glacierslab, but it can be used without it.
Covers icebergs, ice floes, icicles, caves, clutter and effects from the vanilla game, Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC.
================================================
Features:
- Multi-parallax shaders distributed through all (hopefully) ice related models.
- Texture friendly, you can use any texture you like.
================================================
Hard requirements:
- Dawnguard DLC; I used some textures from said DLC so without it you will get the missing textures.
Soft requirements:
- Glacierslab; This is not a requirement but a recommendation because I built this mod to compliment Glacierslab.
================================================
Install:
Use NMM or any mod manager that supports FOMOD and follow the installation steps (choose any options you want).
If you want to install the mod manually, just drag and drop textures and meshes into the data folder. You'll miss advanced installation.
================================================
uninstall:
NMM or delete the mod's folder.
================================================
Known issues:
- Seams may occur;
- I placed some particle lights for ENB here and there, for measurement purposes, so to provide extra light when used with ENB;
- I don't know why, but multi-parallax shaders sometimes don't work. Apparently this has to do with rescaling of objects in the game or other reasons;
- On a side note, someone should relight the ice cave properly because the lighting still looks like piss.
================================================

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
