What is the Dunmers building material?

Not about OpenMW? Just about Morrowind in general? Have some random babble? Kindly direct it here.

What is the Dunmers building material?

Post by GreyFox »

What are the buildings of the Dunmer made of? Is it Sandstone or Adobe? I never liked the dirty look of it, so I made some quick re texturing today when getting rid off the glowing rocks from MGSO(thanks to https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/3264). I created some normal maps for them, is it time-consuming to make them appear in the game? (simply adding a "_nm" did not do the trick, I guess I have to map them somewhere?)

Not time consuming at all, you just didn't name the normal map correctly. It's simply _n.dds.

Also, you need to activate shaders before they'll work. Have a look here:

https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=TextureModding

Basically you need this in your settings file:

Code: Select all

[Shaders]
auto use object normal maps = true

auto use object specular maps = true

normal map pattern = _n
normal height map pattern = _nh

specular map pattern = _spec
You could of course change the suffix in the settings to _nm, but I would recommend to use _n since scrawl has more or less made that the standard now.
