So that brings me back to my initial question. Should I simply set the HasBumpMap thing in NiTexturingProperty to no?
I don't have access to my windows PC at the time of writing, so I might have a look at the models later today or tomorrow. I'll return to you then!

Hi! new here.
I'm having a problem. I am seeing glowing texture in some areas specially in census and excise office and other areas. Is this known issue? I'm also using GOG version and no texture pack.

That's a known issue, you're using an AMD card right? Try downgrading to driver 13.12, or (if on Linux) use the open source driver.

I've installed that AMD driver but the problem still exists.

Alright I fixed it.
All i did was force shaders to true in the settings file and it solves the problem for me.

The links in the OP no longer seem to work.

Hi, I've tried going through the steps in the tutorial to fix the On the Rocks! textures, and the source texture isn't a _nm.dds file, it's _refl3.dds. Should the blocks still be removed?

I've fixed some of the OTR!-textures before, and I thought I recalled that the files were _nm.dds. If there's like one texture file that is named _refl3.dds then it is probably a specular map. Try renaming it to _spec.dds instead.

The blocks in the .mip file should still be removed anyway, yes.
