I get a glow or milky film over the ebony cuirass.
A google search showed one person with the same problem & she was advised that the textures were corrupted & to try Darknuts textures.
I already have Darknuts textures , tried both 512 & 1024 versions
I have no magic enhancements in place other that the default ones you get from the sign of the lady.
The screenshot is from the other person with the same problem.

This is because Bethesda left a reflect map on the Ebony Cuirass model. It never showed up until MCP fixed texture effects on clothes and armor. I would normally include a fixed mesh, but it would have overwritten any replacers you use, which is a bad idea. There was supposed to be a fixed mesh incorporated into MPP, but I'm not sure if that ever happened as I stopped working on MCP for a while. I'll post a fixed mesh if someone else hasn't already made one.

Thanks

This'll fix it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43101765/A_Ebony_Cuirass.nif

Put it in your meshes/a folder. If you don't have that folder, create it.

Is enviro 01.tga actually used by any other mesh? It looks pretty crappy, maybe it would be more compatibilty friendly to include a replacer for that as a fix?

Worked a treat.

I asked Spiffyman to look into it for us and he came up with this list of meshes that use that texture:

1) a_ebony_cuirass.nif
2) a_glass_boots_a.nif
3) a_glass_boots_gnd.nif
4) a_glass_pauldron_fa.nif
5) a_glass_pauldron_gnd.nif
6) a_glass_pauldron_ua.nif
7) a_imperial_pauldron_gnd.nif
8) towershield_glass.nif
9) base_anim_female.1st.nif
10) active_port_andra.nif
11) active_port_beran.nif
12) active_port_falag.nif
13) active_port_falas.nif
14) active_port_falen.nif
15) active_port_hlor.nif
16) active_port_indo.nif
17) active_port_maran.nif
18) active_port_roth.nif
19) active_port_telas.nif
20) active_port_valen.nif

I suspect replacing it with a 'blank' version would hurt nothing.
