HELP trying to install Darknuts texture pack for armor..

Post » Tue Jul 26, 2011 7:01 am

So I'm trying to install Darknuts Morrowind Armor Texture pack, yet when I do exactly what he says,
"Installation:


The textures are in seperate directorys for easy Idenifacation but they need to be installed in the "root"
of the Morrowind texture directory.

Just copy the ones you want to use to Morrowind/Data Files/Textures/

once again all the files go in the "root" not in the directories they're in."

Nothing happens. I boot up Morrowind, and the armors are all the same. Now, wouldn't I get some sort of prompt that I'm over writing files? I'm new to modding and installing mods, but I read that as this:
when I download the mod, the texutres are in files labeled as what types of armor they are. For instance, there is a file named "indoril", it has all the textures for indoril armor in it. I don't copy the folder, just the contents. But WHERE do I copy that? I hit the "texutres" folder in my data files folder, and there is nothing in there. I paste these in it, just the files, not the folder, yet when I boot up Morrowind, nothing has changed. I'm doing precisely what it's telling me to do it, but in order for me to REPLACE the textures, don't I need to put them..where the original textures are? Because there is nothing in the "textures" folder in the data files folder. It's an empty folder.

Just take the files from the 'indoril' folder and paste them in your "textures" folder (in your Data Files). That's it.

yes what? I am putting those textures in the textures folder *which is empty, how can it be replacing textures if there aren't any textures to replace in the folder I put them in* and nothing changes in game.

Edit*
I did just that, and nothing changes, at all.

Your original Morrowind textures are in the Morrowind.bsa, but the textures in the Textures folder have the priority on the ones into the .bsa.

It's really weird that you have nohing changed ingame. :read:


If you have Windows Vista or Seven, where do you have installed your Morrowind game?

Are you using a Steam copy of Morrowind?

Darknut's textures can be sort of difficult to see a huge difference with. I suggest checking one of the guard armors with chainmail, and see if the individual links are well defined. The vanilla texture is really muddy, but with Dark's textures, the rings are much more defined.
