HOw to remove Glow from armour?

Post » Fri May 04, 2012 12:37 am

Hello,

I am playing Morrowind now and during it I got sick of that plastic glow of enchanted items. So I modded magic effect to all (0) in TESCS (Under Gameplay, Magic Effects).

Everything worked fine, but then I discovered that for some reason every Ebony Cuirass is still glowing!

To my surprise, they are not even enchanted....

I am using Darknut Armor textures. Every Ebony Cuirass is glowing when somebody has it on his body (I and NPCs).

Cuirasses on the ground are normal.

I just need advice what can cause this and how can I remove it.

I am using a bunch of other mods, but no one change armors in any way, except DARKNUT armors.

Minamir: thank you for help, but you do not understand my issue :)

I do not have problem with magic items glowing, I can mod that.

I have problem with plain Ebony cuirass glowing, when worn.

It's a well know problem. I know there is a fix for it, but I cannot seem to find it right now.

So I finally found the solution. The Ebony Cuirass mesh file, called A_Ebony_Cuirass.nif was a culprit.

I had to download NIFscope, copy that file from MW TESCS disc and change some parameters using NIFscope.

Then I put changed file into my C:\Games\Morrowind\Data Files\Meshes\a folder.

I am not sure if some mod changed it, but now Ebony cuirass is not glowing and I can go to bed :)

If you wouldn't mind answering: was the problem an added environment texture? i.e. an added NiTextureEffect block that you simply removed? It's not really important I am just trying to better my understanding of relationships between meshes and textures. I've learned a great deal the last month by poking around in the resources from released mods.

Yes, exactly.

It was the first time I used NIFscope. I read that information on some website. I just loaded mesh file into that application and examined information about it.

There are references about 3 textures. And there were 3 blocks of data named "enviroment-something".

I deleted them, saved file and moved it to MESHES folder. And it worked.
