Textures

[bmstile]

i did a search of the forum already looking for the info i need, but to no avail. I have had the game since it was new but never bothered doing anything to mod it. my question is, where are all the textures for the armor and such. i dont wanna change anything fancy, just change some colors here and there. I looked in the data files\textures folder and didnt find any of the armor or weapons. All i need is the location of the textures for the armor, specifically the Glass Armor. thanx for any help you can give.

Retrieve the texture path and name -- it looks like you've done that already -- then look on the Morrowind CD for the texture using that filename and directory. For example, if the mesh returned for an object in the CS is "x/h/destroyer.nif," look for and open "X:\Data Files\Meshes\X\H\Destroyer.NIF," where "X:" is where your Morrowind CD is located.

 

Alternatively, you can look for a utility called BSA browser that serves as a frontend for a number of utilities that allow you to view and extract the contents of those gigantic BSA files in your local Data Files folder, which contain all the archived artwork.

 

In order to retrieve the textures used on a model without a copy of 3DSMax, you'll need NIFTexture. Do a search for "tapestries..." or maybe "slacker."
