Hello there,

 

I'm not a modder either, but I think you need to modify the normal map in order to reduce the shininess.

 

 

Good luck!

Ive modified the textures to a darker color and changed the gold to red, i know nothing of maps. The colors changed but its still shiny.

No help at all , i did everything the wiki said for me to , and once i placed the textures on the meshes in Nifskope they were the wrong color. It had changed my dark grey and red to a shitty blue color.

 

EDIT: I went over it again and again until i realized i was skipping a very important part, saving it as a xx_n.dds no as a xx.dds , im retarded sometimes what can i say!

hehe, well I'm not very experienced with normal maps, but it sounds like you replaced your texture with the normal map. Are you sure you saved your normal map just the same as the texture but with the _n? IE: armortexture.dds, and armortexture_n.dds?

 

Nifskope is not very good at rendering normal maps. Put the colour texture you want on your mesh, make sure the altered normal map is saved in the same folder and has the same name, and go check it in-game. I hope that helps.

 

EDIT:Arghhh just one minute difference.... sorry for the useless answer.... dont worry I'm retard too... :teehee:

Ha ha! i don't feel so bad now, ive been sitting here for the last few hours redo the Tyrael and Drake Knight armors to my own liking, as soon as i can figure out how to add multiples of the item as different types like heavy and light and change them to certain body types im gonna be having a lot more fun at this.
