Shiny Landscape Textures - Known Fix?

Recommended Posts

Googling around but I can't find anything concrete on this. But there ARE landscape texture packs on the Nexus that aren't shiny now, so a solution must be known.

 

Basically, I just want to know what needs to change from original Skyrim texture mods to make them not shiny. I have Photoshop, and I'm happy to go through the textures (normal maps, I guess?) one by one and save them in a working format.

Normal maps for landscape textures need a specular layer in the alpha channel. Lack of that specular layer causes the excessive shine (no alpha channel means the engine assumes it's a white layer, and white is 100% shine).
