HiRez Armors - Native Styles V2 Fixed and Optimized

HiRez Armors - Native Styles V2 by Saint_Jiub was only available in a thread in the now-defunct old Bethesda forums, and while the link is still valid, it may be a bit difficult to find now. Also, the textures were uncompressed and thus quite large, and some of the meshes had minor issues like incorrect filter modes for bump maps.

This version includes the following fixes and improvements:

• []Compressed all textures

  []Removed unnecessary NiKeyFrameControllers and duplicate NiTextureEffects

  []combined shapes with the same textures

  []changed bump map filter mode to FILTER_TRILERP where necessary

  []removed orcish cloth normal map references from glass armor meshes (not included in V2 and not needed in my opinion)

  []added tx_armor_exc.dds from V1

• Added tx_w_waraxe_glass_00.dds (made by Stuporstar for his "Smooth Glass Weapons" mod), which is used by some meshes and a normal map for it (made by abelthorne)

  The patch for Better Morrowind Armor is also available in my Better Morrowind Armor Fixes, which can be downloaded here: Various Armor Improvements and Patches. It replaces the patch that is included in Better Morrowind Armor and changes the bump map filter mode to FILTER_TRILERP.

  Requirements

  Because of the bump-mapping on the glass and indoril armors, you need  Morrowind Code Patch, specifically the "Bump/Reflect map local lighting" fix.

  OpenMW users: Install this after the mod, it was made for the original version but reportedly also works with this one: HiRez Armors Native Styles V2 for OpenMW

  Installation

  Use Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, or extract the folders into your Morrowind installation's Data Files folder.

  Uninstallation

  If you used Mash or MO2, use that to uninstall. If not, well, have fun manually deleting the files. ;)

  Permissions

  Saint_Jiub permitted using the files from the original version of his mod in any way, except just uploading the entire unchanged archive somewhere else. So, the same applies to this version.

  Description:

  As promised, here's version two of my replacer for the Dunmer armors. As many of you know, version one was plagued by missing textures and other graphical oddities, which, after nearly a year, I have finally fixed. All armors affected by this mod should now be complete.
