rar file to see what files you should look for. If you instead placed all your files in Morrowinds main Data Files folder (sigh), you need to check with the mod’s.

If you installed the mod like I recommended, you won’t have any trouble finding the files. They are there to make Morrowind bump-mapping work.

Textures folder to a data folder the way you usually install mods ( Pro tip: Install using OpenMW’s Multiple data folders function!). We can convert the mod in a few minutes by just renaming a few dozen files and by not extracting the included model Since this is just a texture pack and not a model replacer, We will be converting a quite popular texture replacer of the Hlaalu architecture, namely Lougian’s Hlaalu Bump mapped. So that we can use all the material files of these mods in the future. It should be the same principle to get those to work.Īnd let’s hope that some one implements PBR shaders to OpenMW too, I totally recommend you to also try this on PeterBitt’s Nix Hound replacer and Flash3113’s various replacers. It’s more or less just a matter of renaming and moving a few files. So as you might notice, converting these mods is very simple and takes just a couple of minutes.

Provided it also includes a normal map (which it probably does). In this tutorial, I will use PeterBitt’s PBR Scamp Replacer as an example,īut any mod featuring PBR that requires the PBR version of MGE will do, OpenMW does not need this, you just have to make sure the normal map has the same name as the diffuse texture but with There’s some kind of text file if I understood it correctly that MGE uses to find the normal map. Making it really easy to convert mods made for MGE into OpenMW (I’m only talking about the normal map textures though). I haven’t researched that much on the MGE variant yet but it does support real implementation of normal-mapping,

Similar fashion in the future so that mods can be used for both MGE and OpenMW without any hassle. OpenMW will probably have this feature in the future too – and let’s hope that OpenMW and MGE will handle PBR in a Making it one step ahead of OpenMW in terms of texturing techniques.

Not only this but it also adds full support for physically based rendering (PBR), Normal-mapping in an experimental version available here: MGE XE (you can’t use MGE with OpenMW!). The most recent feature on this topic is that the Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) finally started to support real That file will be the normal map if it’s present. OpenMW will pick the diffuse map file path from the mesh, e.g.Įxampletexture_01.dds, and look up a texture named exampletexture_01_n.dds. Textures/moddername/exampletexture_02.dds. Modders tend to group textures for custom-made models in dedicated folders to keep track of them easily, Textures folder since it does not state anything else. This texture is supposed to be located directly in the The model’s base (diffuse) texture reference will point to something named like exampletexture_01.dds. There should be a tag (NiTexturingProperty) that states what textures it should use and where to find them. Let us assume we have the model example.nif. So to expand on this a bit, let’s take a look at how a model looks up textures. Normal-mapping in OpenMW works in a very simple way: The engine just looks for a texture with a _n.dds suffix,
