Better Flames for Concept Art Palace (Vivec City) - OpenMW Version

The awesome Concept Art Palace (Vivec City) mod creates a dramatic atmosphere for the whole Palace area, especially with the green flames that light up the nights.

The OpenMW version, though, for engine limitations doesn't (yet?) support the advanced glow and special effects, and only uses a flame texture on an animated mesh to achieve its result.

This mod is a very simple modification of the texture already provided by the OpenMWVersion of the C. A. P. original mod, improving its look and providing a better experience also to OpenMW players (well, it is of course subjective).

Installation

This is a simple texture edit, so you need the original mod to have everything work correctly:

From the original mod, you need to install

• []00 Core

  []03 Flame - Option 2 (you need the provided mesh to have this work correctly)

  You can of course select any other customization option from the original mod besides the flame!

  Then you can install my own custom flame replacement. Inside my archive, you have two separate options:

  • []00 Green-Yellow: the original version, green-yellowish, looks closer to the original mod visuals

    []00 Green-Blue: a new version added in v1. 1. 0, green-blueish, a color more similar to the windows on the palace dome and on the light orbs on the bridge.

    Pick only one, as they edit the same textures and are mutually exclusive. You can look at the screenshots for a comparison to make a choice (I recommend the green-blue version, as it has a more "magical fire" vibe than the original green-yellow "acid" look, but feel free to pick what you like the most)

    My modification should load AFTER the original mod, so make sure that the directories are in the correct order:

    /path/to/openmw/data/concept-art-palace/00 Core

    /path/to/openmw/data/concept-art-palace/03 Flame - Option 2

    /path/to/openmw/data/better-flames/00 Green-Yellow (or /path/to/openmw/data/better-flames/00 Green-Blue)

    That's it, easy peasy.
