📋 About This Mod
Orcish Retexture by Joe v1. 2
A retexture for the Orcish Helmet ,Armor and tower shield. replaces these files without esm so make backups.. Or at least check screenshots to see if you want this in your game in place of vanilla.
I just wanted to make an armor mod for the orcish helmet to remove that annoying white spot on the vanilla helmet but wound up doing this. I like it and hope you do too
Changes in 1. 1 fixed mipmaps. Changes in 1. 2 took Pherim's advice and worked with the optimise program to fix textures..also worked on boots. Installation, Drop data files folder into your Morrowind directory and overwrite all when prompted....
