While the basic color is indeed very much vanilla, I am sorry to say that you do the same mistake that many texture replacers do. You ignore that detail that vanilla textures have.

Even if you want clean architecture, I think the overall look of Balmora is not right.

I didnt know that hlaalu buildings are actually build of stones as you see on the top of this texture: http://i.imgur.com/7RP3ARt.jpg

Yeah, my mistake. But it still vanilla color, not vanilla style - when I tryed to make them look more weathered, like in original, it didn't look good. Also, you can see tiling with this details, even on original textures.
Stones not so good - in all Hlaalu retextures with stones (Masoxx, Connary, etc) detailed stones make all picture looks bad.

I think these look very good. Thanks.

I always used Connary's, but might give these a try.

This is also good if you use mods that give each Hlaalu town an individual look. So I could use yours, Lougians & Connary's all at once.

I like these. I actually switched back to a regular Hlaalu texture replacer because I wasn't fond of how orange Lougian's bump mapped buildings looked in Balmora. However, the texture pack i'm using right now is so gritty from a far, i'm convinced whoever made them didn't export with mip-maps.

I'm going to give this a shot. I'm a big fan of sticking to vanilla stuff.

EDIT: There is a few textures that the Hlaalu texture set shares with other texture sets like the glass window textures. Do you have a replacer of those in this mod?

It does look more like vanilla then I've seen from other mods. I personally like the look of AoF's because of all the weathered details they did, but this one looks reaaally good with the bumpmaps (from the screenshots it looks bumpmapped?) and I'll probably give it a try.

Looks like a good alternative to Lougian's bump mapped Hlaalu textures. I will give it a try some time. By the way, will you put your Vivec textures on Nexus, too? Saw them on some screenshots and was really fond of them. I already downloaded them from Fullrest, but it would really be great to have them on the Nexus, too.

Thanks for everybody!
Now i'm working on second version, fixing some tilings and stitchs, also with bump-maps for "Vivec Bump Mapped" - I will post new version on Nexus and update Fullrest file. Be ready to download it first!
