Taddeus On the Rocks with normal maps for OpenMW

What is this?

This is a conversion of Taddeus' "On the Rocks!" to work with normal mapping in OpenMW. Basically, it removes the "shiny rocks" issue, while still keeping the normal mapping included in the mod. On the Rocks! is most famously used in the popular mod compilation "Morrowind Overhaul: Graphics and Sounds", also known as MGSO. You can therefore use this as a patch to make MGSO look better for OpenMW. With that said, you can use this without using MGSO too.

What do I require for this mod? You don't really need anything except of course OpenMW to make the normal maps work. You don't need the original mod (I included everything you need) since I had to edit most files anyway to make this work in OpenMW. If you have MGSO installed, then this will fix your shiny rock problem.

How do I install? Follow part 1 if you just want these rocks and don't have MGSO installed. Follow part 2 if you have MGSO. Part 1 - without MGSO

• This guide explains the process in detail. Check it out if you haven't done this before.

1. To install the mod, create a data folder for the mod and add its path to openmw.cfg 2. To uninstall the mod, simply remove the folder from openmw.cfg - Continue with step 3 and 4 if you want normal maps 3. Find your "settings.cfg" file. Should be here:

• []Linux: $HOME/.config/openmw []Windows: C:\Users\Username\Documents\my games\openmw (username, harddrive and language may vary) []Mac: $HOME/Library/Preferences/openmw

[] 4. Add these rows to settings.cfg (except for the QUOTE): QUOTE

auto use object normal maps = true auto use object specular maps = true[] 5. You're done! Launch the game and everything should work as expected. Didn't understand a thing in the first two steps? Again, look at the official OpenMW wiki guide.

Part 2 - with MGSO

• []Put the "textures" folder in your Data Files folder in the main Morrowind directory. Overwrite when/if asked. []Follow step 3 and 4 in part 1

  []You're done! Launch the game and everything should work as expected.

  [*] How did you do this?

I made a tutorial on how to fix the shiny fake bump mapping in the OpenMW documentation. I simply used this method. Please do check it out if you're interested.
