📋 About This Mod
a set of normalmaps for both the standard, and the hires texture options. textures were resized and compressed to minimize disk and VRAM usage.
this mod is compatible with vanilla textures, but the Fire and Frost Salts mod is recommended.
this mod is technically compatible with vanilla morrowind, but doesn't include any meshes, and without them it has no effect in vanilla. the mod is plug and play for OpenMW. this mod does not include any of the files from the original mod, and will not feature the glow or animations without them.
this release includes both options for the current release of the parent mod, but let me know if i missed anything.
make sure you have normalmaps enabled in settings.cfg
auto use object normal maps = true
auto use terrain normal maps = true
if you enjoy the mod please leave screenshots, as i would rather work on more mods than take screenshots of my own.
please report any issues in the bug tracker. if this release goes well i will probably release bonemold normalmaps next.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds visual depth to the salt items, making them look more realistic
- Easy to install—just drop the files into your OpenMW data directory
- Small file size, won't impact performance
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Fire and Frost Salts mod, so it's not standalone
- Only affects the two salt items, so it's a very niche enhancement
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be tested with the latest OpenMW versions
For OpenMW players who already use the Fire and Frost Salts mod and want a bit more visual polish. Skip if you don't use that mod or if you're not into subtle texture improvements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Fire and Frost Salts mod installed first, otherwise these normalmaps won't work.
- Place the files in your OpenMW data directory, typically 'data' folder, and ensure your openmw.cfg points to it.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can also install it through that, but manual placement is fine.
