It allows to increase performance a lot. General advices to create assets for this feature: + 1. Alpha properties from Nif files are not used, a unified alpha settings are used (alpha testing, "greater of equal" function, 128/255 threshold). + 2. Use a single NiTriShape in groundocver mesh, or at least use same properties (texture, alpha, material, etc), so OpenMW can merge them on the fly. Otherwise animations may not work properly. + 3. Smooth fading does not work for meshes, which have textures without alpha (e.g. rock). Groundcover mods can be registered in the openmw.cfg via "groundcover" entries instead of "content" ones:
