>setting timescale to -9999999999 makes Oblivion's lighting engine goes fucking haywire
Do other games do this too? Do we even know why this happens? I haven't messed around with it in a while and I'm taking a look at it again now and I almost forgot how messed up everything gets.
What does the timescale flag govern exactly?
Not OP but maybe the rate of day/night transition?
how do you even play like that
It can crash your PC if you set it too high, to maybe 10000 and keep COCing to a cell that respawns NPCs and COCing out of it far away
How fast the ingame clock is compared to realtime
It's 30 seconds ingame is equal to one second in reality
So setting it at 1:1 makes the game real time, comfy but can completely break things
From what I know, timescale is a global variable in Oblivion, which most directly governs the in-game time measurements (which can be seen directly using the tdt command). I assume the day-night cycle is only tethered to it, in the same way that NPC schedules are.
Oh, and I should clarify, saying "Oblivion's lighting engine" was a bit of a mistake since Oblivion can use Bloom or HDR lighting, or neither. The effects are similar on both but definitely more severe on HDR lighting.
what does the oblivion realm look like?
oblivionwave
Kino aesthetics
cosmic oblivion
I should note that weather heavily effects the glitchy look. For example, that pic was taken in the default Oblivion weather, whereas this one is with the default normal Tamriel weather.
Does it play out the same for other ToddEngine games?
painting world and shivering isles?
I've never been able to get similar effects in Skyrim, though I admit I don't remember if I tried it on the SE or not (it'd make sense if it doesn't work on SE since it's supposed to be more stable).
nice
Here's a few from the painted world. Ngl since the painted world has creepy dungeon / Oblivion music this is really something to experience
neat. are the lines supposed to be sunrays?
It sets it to the birth of the universe - the big bang.
Maybe stars rotating so fast they are solid lines?
Jesus, is the painted world going to hyperspace?
But yeah, this shit is really kino. Also, what's the in-game date now?
This is the longest ive seen you guys go without shitposting
this is art
The date doesn't actually advance backwards, but the time (of day) sort of does. Maybe that's a clue as to why this happens?
These are fucking neat. Could you put them all in a zip or something?
not much shitposting in nickies threads, except the morons who claim it isnt vidya related
does the game start to break if the date is advanced past a certain point, sort of like y2k?
>another nickies thread
I'm not sure. I could test that out in a sec.
What really gets me about this is how many variations of the effects seem possible. Like it looks like switching from one weather to another produces different effects than going straight to a certain weather, as does switching cells in between when the new weather is forced via the console and when the lighting glitches occur.
All the pictures?
Is this the true power of CHIM?
What about Fallout 3? Its engine is really similar to Oblivion’s.
looks like tamriel entered the wormhole from 2001 space odyssey
someone should check on theirs oblivion
this fagot maybe using gimp to fuck with us
you ever put tire friction to a negative in GTA IV? great times
Spoonfeed me on nickies. Been in those threads few times already but i still dont get it
Yes please!
I don't have FO3 installed rn, I could give New Vegas a whirl though.
Be my guest. I'm on High settings rn, the only part that should matter for these specific results is HDR lighting. Use the command "set timescale to -999999999999999" and wait, or walk into a city to make it go faster.
he's just an autist who likes fucking around with bethesda games, Oblivion especially
he's my favorite autist
That would make for a great album cover
saw someone test that in Fallout4 which is basically the same game.
ok. that wqill do
the weather is dependant on a preset season calender that you slowly advance as you play the game
when you turn the timescale to a negative value and wait long enough or just make it a super high value, you go beyond the calender in the opposite direction to an area of seaonal time that doesnt exist and as such has no weather to accompany it
i assume the game reads random bytes of information as weather placeholders and is what you see when you make the value negative
I switched PCs a short while ago so I don't have them all from the really older threads I did like over a year ago, but here's a .rar with all the ones I have on this computer so far:
I know a few of these if you want to ask
Void runs are always fun threads

Timescale is a system variable that is multiplied to all deltatime calls to make sure animations and such play out at the same speed regardless of FPS.
Taking a quick break from HDR lighting and switching back to Bloom for a specific reason - foggy weathers seem to crash the game on HDR lighting, and not on Bloom.
this feels like some deepest lore shit even if it is just simple data on the game
NEVER, EVER
Actually, it seems like any sort of rain or snow crashes the game no matter how low I put the settings...
SUPER
HOT
>tfw contributed to the wiki
I’m doomed, aren’t I?
i posted in the original thread not thinking much of it but that is the only deep one that checks off for me.
"I'm Irene Metrick. If you needed to know more, you'd already know."
This is really cool. Thank you for posting this OP.
What happens if you dial the timescale to +99999999999 instead?
Not much. I tested it, and even tried setting gameyear and gameday to 999999999999 to no effect. Setting gamehour to 99999999999 crashes the game instantly.
cool
I tried it in Fallout 3 (GOTY edition) and, for now, only the moon is spazzing out.
Nevermind, things escalated quickly.
tfw nickies made me pick oblivion again after like i guess 10 years
is this a betamod for raytracing?
This actually physically hurts my eyes
Hey I remember these threads OP, surprised you're still around. Keep at it.
Ayyyyy there you go
How do i look
Nothing really changes though. I guess fallout 3 doesn't have weather?
Is there a way to force a weather to trigger, nickies?
Came here hoping for this.
Not disappointed.
Also my pipboy broke.
fallout 3 has leftover oblivion weathers accessible in the console
lold
Anyone got videos of this?
You and I both, my friend.
twitch jinjabaker45
Sure, but how do I activate them?
fw command in the console, you'll have to look up the weather ids
>see this thread from catalog
>messing oblivion up with console commands
>immediately assume it’s Nickies
>it is
Will you post a video op? this would look really cool in motion.
Maybe recording it would affect the resutls.

i'll always love Oblivion
I found a weather code that worked and I kind of wish I didn't.
Can someone explain the mechanics of whats going on to get these cool freaky images
G-Gotta get a grip
stream it, lad
King Crimson
Nah, go watch Nickies stream. He linked it in this very thread.
wealth beyond measure, outlander
dat pure amaranth color
this is a great shot
hey nickies, what mod are you using to get actual 3d trees there instead of the flat billboard speedtree crap?
bump
I don't feel so good.
I like all of the black cubes flickering around
This is kino
>fallout glitch is more cyberpunk than cyberpunk 2077
I want to try this, does it work in Morrowind and/or Skyrim?
Looks like a Lego feller.
10 is the ideal timescale
Oblivion doesn't run on Unity.
>see thread
>man this seems like something Nickies would do
>only realise it is him after 50 posts
Man i'm retarded
Bump
Thanks doc
What happened to your all consuming Cyrodillic Virus?
It was a success; I uploaded the mod to Nexus for anyone else to use if they want.
Didn't see this until just now, I was on a vanilla High settings save. I think what appears to be 3d trees there is actually just the 2d textures spazzing out at high velocities. It's in my YT video here: I believe if you wanna look.
>Cyrodillic Virus
quick rundown? missed that one
What plane of oblivion is that?
Seconded. Fucking baller album cover.
nexusmods.com
just read the description, it's glorious
tl;dr I made NPCs that could multiply, infect other NPCs, and evolve, and they managed to take over Cyrodiil.
Now this is a link pic
stop fucking encouraging him, he has real life diagnosed autism

>he has real life diagnosed autism
I want to play a game that looks like the first 10 seconds of this webm.
hey what's this op? You stealing someone's credit to something?

That's . . . my album on imgur. You can literally see a Nickies Black npc in one of the pics.
