📋 About This Mod
Description
Replaces default staff textures with high resolution ones. Contains textures for all non-unique staffs + Hrormirs Ice Staff.
It also contains optional addon for glowing (which I highly recommend to use).
Textures match the UV maps, so all staffs preserve vanilla color of the spiral on staff ending.
All non-unique staffs: high resolution texture (1024x2048) + optional glowmaps (see screenshots)
Hrormirs Ice Staff: removed awful plastic effect + high resolution texture (1024x1024) + new glowing effect (vanilla staff has glow too, so its not optional)
Staff of Indarys: high resolution texture (1024x2048)
Installation
Provided as BAIN-ready archive. I think, folder names are pretty self-explanatory.
If you don't want to use BAIN, just copy files from folders '00 Core', '01 Optional glowing' and '02 Hrormirs Ice Staff' to your Oblivion\Data folder.
This is a texture (and mesh) replacer, so no esp.
Compatibility
Incompatible with any mod replacing same files (I think its obvious).
Fully compatible with mods altering staff stats (OOO, FCOM and any others)
A simple texture replacer that upgrades staff textures to higher resolution. With 1,430 endorsements and 150,193 downloads, it's a popular choice for players wanting sharper staff visuals. Last updated in 2011, so compatibility with newer game versions is uncertain.
