Strange problem involving Hires Armors Native Styles

[Maxrebo]

So recently I've really wanted to starting playing Morrowind and the other Elders Scrolls games again. As well as the Fallout series.So of course this means setting up my modded installs, and since my last attempt at Morrowind went arwry and my Oblivion Setup was old,plus I wanted to try things differently.I've decided to start things over from scratch.I've been using Mod Organzier 2 as my mod manager to great success so far.I've decided to use the Morrowind Graphics Guide as my boilerplate baseline and I just finished following it completion with little to no problems that I wasn't able to solve.

 

All except for one and I know the culprit is Hires Armors Native Styles.I was getting crashes to desktop every single time I tried to equip Ebony Greaves and I would get this error in warnings.txt

TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds"!

Though they displayed correctly when ever I put them on the ground.

But here is were things get weird,I've decided to head to the Ebonheart Grand Council Chambers to see Duke Vedam Dren to see if he and his full suit of Ebony Armor would crash the game or cause errors.So when I entered the cell I get the popup warnings like these.

 

TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds"!
TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "daedric_ref.dds"!
Texture Load Error!: textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds
Texture Load Error!: daedric_ref.dds
TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds"!
TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "daedric_ref.dds"!
Texture Load Error!: textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds
Texture Load Error!: daedric_ref.dds

 

But I was able to yes to all and it loaded just fine and Duke Dren and his Ebony looked just perfect,no problems,whatsoever.So I scratch my head wondering what's going on,so I drop the greaves on the floor and they look good and then I try to go and equip them,and they equip themselves no problem,no error or crash.I was able to replicate this twice now.I also found the same happens after paying a vist to Bolvyn Venim and that it does in fact still crash when trying to equip the greaves if I have not yet been inside of a cell containing a character with Ebony Greaves equipped getting the error popups and selecting yes to all.Can confirm the same happens with Seanwen

 

Can anyone explain this,and how I can go about fixing it.

One other thing I've noticed is,I use the mod Races Redone,with fixes mentioned by havXeus in the posts.It all works great except for the fact that the two blue horned vanilla hair option for male Argonians is a selectable option and it looks a little out of place and it does show up on the npc Okan-Shei,I don't know if its supposed to be like that or if for some reason a vanilla hair is showing instead of one from Wey's Argonians which is part of Races Redone.

TES3Stream Warning: Model "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" tex not found "daedric_ref.dds"!

plain english here:
file "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" is looking for "textures\tx_a_ebony_leg_nrm.dds" and "textures\daedric_ref.dds", which are not found
so
a) you did not install some mod properly (added the mesh but not all needed textures)
or
b) mod package adding "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" is missing these textures

a) can be solved re-installing the mod properly
b) can be solved
1. finding/making the needed textures somewhere else
or
2. changing the "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" to not use/need the 2 textures anymore (they are just for some extra effect). Not hard to do from NIFskope 1.13 if you have a little practice
or
3. renaming/deleting "Meshes\a\A_Ebony_G_Greaves.nif" so the standard mesh from Morrowind.bsa is used instead

By the way you shouldn't use mod downloaders for Morrowind, they were made for more recent games.

Deleting the mesh in question seems to have fixed the problem no more error and yet the model and texture displays correctly,plus the game no longer crashes when I try to equip ebony greaves.

I must say the my experience with Mod Organizer 2 for Morrowind this time around has been nothing short of amazing and my install is working great so far and I haven't had many problems that I haven't been able to solve.
