📋 About This Mod
Description
-
[]Legacy of The Dragonborn overwrites some vanilla cube maps/environment maps with files in its BSA archive.
[
]textures\cubemaps\quicksky_e.dds[]textures\cubemaps\quickskydark_e.dds
[]textures\cubemaps\shinyglass_e.dds
[
]However, these files are in the incorrect DDS format, so won't work as cube maps/environment maps.[]Objects using the broken cube maps will appear non-reflective.
[]If you're using any working cube map replacer that includes these files, you won't need this fix.
[]Feel free to include the fix in the main mod (or simply remove the broken DDS files). Once it is included, this fix will be unnecessary and be taken down.
[]Uploaded here as a quick fix for those reporting broken colors on Viridian Knight - Recolored.
Requirements
- []Legacy of The Dragonborn - not a hard requirement, but kind of pointless without it.
