Nice little mod.

I did run in one one minor issue - two of my (Suran) shop banners are free floating when using this mod. This seems to be because the mod has moved the placement of the banner poles.

It should be easy to correct the placement via the console (in OpenMW) but I wonder if there is some way that the mod could avoid causing the issue to begin with.

You can see in the screenshots that the banners are not floating.
Could it be another mod editing the banners position?
You could check by selecting the banner in-game, opening the console and using the "ori" command.
Could you try this please?

Yeah the rope part isn't that great I know. It's the same texture used on rope bridges so it's what shipped with the game basically :/
We're also working on this! Next update is going to have something better:)

Luckily the discussion picked the interest of some other people who gave me a hand!:)

The "ori" info shows that the banner and banner poles are from the base game (Content File: Morrowind.esm) while only the steps and balcony are from this mod. None of the other ori info seems to change.

I'm using a mix of three banner related mods:
* Guar Skin Banners for OpenMW and Vanilla Morrowind (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44355)
* Banners With Sound (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/45015)
* Lysol's Guar Skin Banners for Arukinn's Signs and Signposts (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46390)

This gives me bumpmapped, animated and noisy banners.

I'm also using the Suran Waterfront (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44693) mod - it mostly adds some new houses. I added it after the banner mods and it didn't cause any banner issues at the time.

I'm currently loading the "Concept art Hlaalu Balconies - Balmora and Suran.ESP" before any of my Suran and Balmora city overhaul mod esps.
Loading "Concept art Hlaalu Balconies - Balmora and Suran.ESP" last causes a bunch of terrain issues (reverting terrain to vanilla shape ?) so is not a viable option.

My initial guess was that the banner position and animation state got stored in the save game, causing the banners to not line up when a later mod moves the banners and banner poles around.
