Visuals, ipls & scenarios
nopixel-visuals
Section titled “nopixel-visuals”“nopixel - Visual Overhaul”: the timecycle, weather and rendering data that gives the Nopixel servers their look. It is a data-only resource (plus a small client script for cloud and replacement handling) and applies server-wide as soon as it starts.
What it replaces:
| Data | Files |
|---|---|
| Base timecycles | timecycle_mods_1 to _5, _nv, _mb_fp, _mb_tp, underwater_deep |
| Weather timecycles | blizzard, clear, clearing, clouds, extrasunny, foggy, halloween, neutral, overcast, rain, smog, snow, snowlight, thunder, xmas |
| Weather particles | emitter and render definitions for blizzard, clearing, firefly, hurricane and the other weather types |
| Visual settings | visualsettings.dat, hbaosettings.xml |
| World | water.xml, time.xml, weather.xml, v_clouds.ytyp, level gta5.meta |
| Vehicles | carvariations.meta, vehiclemodelsets.meta, vehicles.meta (ambient traffic tweaks) |
| Peds | witnessinformation.meta |
Every interior in the pack ships its own TIMECYCLEMOD_FILE for interior lighting, and those were tuned against these visuals. Interiors still work without nopixel-visuals, but the lighting in the screenshots assumes it is on.
Compatibility
Section titled “Compatibility”Run only one visual overhaul. NVE, QuantV, VisualV and similar packs replace the same files; combining them gives you whichever loaded last for each file and usually broken weather. If you want to compare, comment out the ensure nopixel-visuals line rather than deleting the package.
nopixel-scenarios
Section titled “nopixel-scenarios”Overrides the scenario points (sp_manifest.ymt), ambient events (events.meta) and ped relationships (relationships.dat) so ambient peds behave and gather the way they do on Nopixel: fewer vanilla scenarios inside the replaced buildings and adjusted crowd behaviour around the new interiors.
It was ported from an earlier version of the pack; if you notice ambient peds walking into walls or standing inside replaced buildings, disable it and report the location.
nopixel-misc
Section titled “nopixel-misc”nopixel-misc contains nopixel version of bob74 ipl data. This includes the needed ipls for online xmas mansions.
