Retexture is overly shiny

[Swordfish42]

Hi all.

 

I'm making a mod using the dwarven tilest modders resource, found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20241 which uses textures only from the orrery official DLC.

 

The set has a ramp mesh, which has glass walls.

However, it doesn't have a non-glass ramp, so I retextured the glass walls with the orrery's "orrerypanel01.dds" file.

However, in the Construction set, the piece is overly shiny.

I've tried searching on the cs wiki, the nexus forums etc. and I haven't found a solution. Can anyone help me please? Thank you in advance.

It's the normal map that's doing this....open the orrerypanel01_n.dds, and in Alpha channel set to 0. This will stop the texture from reflecting light like a polished surface would.

I don't think it's the normal map, but instead the texture apply mode for that part of the mesh; select that part of the mesh, go to its NiTexturingProperty, and where it says "Apply Mode", change it to APPLY_MODULATE.
