Better _land_default (Modder's Resource)

Retexture for the  - NONE -  landscape texture to match the color of fog in the TES Construction Set. Going in wireframe mode to correct the finer details of the landscape can be very helpful, but if the exterior you're working on has a wilderness cell behind it this will be murder for your eyes. But with this mod, no more! The default land texture will now be a pure gray that matches CS fog, effectively rendering it invisible.

Installation:

- Put the contents of either "00 Data Files" or "01 Alternate Fullbright Version" in your data files folder.

- The former will make the  - NONE -  texture match the fog if fullbright is disabled, and the latter will make it match when fullbright is enabled.

Limitations:

- The reason for the different versions is that CS renders landscape slightly less green if you have fullbright off, making the pure grey texture in the 01 folder appear as a muted magenta. Conversely the texture in the 00 folder will appear as a pale green when fullbright is enabled.

- Randomly the CS will render things slightly differently and break the color match. Simply restart until it works again.

- The construction set will blend textures, meaning if your cells have a harsh divide with wilderness cells there will be a strip of colored vertices on the wilderness cell.

- Vanilla Morrowind uses _land_default.dds as a common texture in West Gash and has it visible under buildings in Ald-ruhn, meaning this mod will make those areas look worse.

- Simply rename Morrowind/Data Files/Textures/_land_default.dds to undo the effects of this mod and have the version in Morrowind.bsa take over, and rename it back when you return to work in the Construction Set again.
