Really want Fort retexture

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:25 pm

Has anyone made a good texture improver for the forts in Oblivion? I would really love to see a high resolution texture pack for the walls, dungeons, crypts, etc. Koldorn did some excellent retextures of Ayleid ruins, caves, etc. but I don't think he did forts at all. I wish he did something similar for forts. To me the vanilla fort textures in Oblivion were pants. Also, I have used QarlTP3 but I thought his fort textures were quite poor. If there are any good modders out there I would be eternally grateful if you could do something to improve the fort textures. Thanks.

Looking at that mod, the author hasn't tackled forts yet, just Oblivion Citadels.

Doesn't that mod only affect Oblivion Realms?

Hmm, didn't someone do parallax retextures (including forts + castles) a few years ago? Can't recall the name of the modder; I've moved all my downloads to an external drive (which isn't on cos the fan is noisy as hell) to make room for a Winblows 7 install so I can't check who made 'em...

Bomret was the one who did the parallax maps.

Would be happy with a fort re-texture as well.:)
Bomrets normalmaps do a good job, but can't hide the blandness of the vanilla stones.

I can recommend those Oblivion plane HR textures though, they're superb.

Yeah, what I'd like to see is a retexture that makes them darker from the outside, maybe giving them a brown hue. http://www.planetware.com/i/photo/wilhelmsbad-hanau-d982.jpg.
The inside would benefit from similar retextures as well, I suppose.

Well, who knows. Koldorn is not likely to make an appearance again, but maybe AmpolX will tackle the fort ruins eventually. :)
