Just a simple question: Is there a mod that permits tombs to have unique textures? It seems bizarre that I don't have one already.

look at this ^^ => http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1092942-separate-velothi-tomb-textures-how/page__p__15951832__hl__%20%20Separate%20Velothi%20__fromsearch__1&#entry15951832

Would be simple enough to do with Nifskope. Just make your new textures, open the models in NS direct it to your new texture(s) and save as some other name.

But then you'd have to go into the CS and replace every tile in the tombs with the unique, re-textured versions. Not hard in itself either, just tedious and time-consuming.

Oh.. well in that case you just rename the texture and and save the model as the original name.

EDIT: To clarify, I mean make new texture(s,) save them as something other then whatever the current textures are, apply them to your model in NS, and just hit save keeping the models original the same. Then you just replace the old models with the new ones.

Ah, but if you save the model under the original name with just a new texture applied you'll still be affecting the interiors of Vivec, Vos and the various temples

<_<

Hmm well if the models are used in other places then I suppose you will just have to do some leg work.

So it hasn't been done eh? A reason for me to learn to actually use the CS perhaps.

You could just do a find > replace; either per cell or for the entire game.

Yes I know that That's why I stated earlier it wasn't hard in itself to replace the meshes. However it would still be tedious even with the Search & Replace function, there's the various hallway and room meshes plus pillars, altars and ash pits just to name a few.

Once again, it could be done just time-consuming and a little tedious. One could set a goal for themselves if they had little patience or get burned out easily; do tombs A-E for example then take a break and then move on to tombs F-N and so on an so forth. One would also have to account for the interiors that aren't tombs but contain the "Velothi" tileset, excluding Vivec, Vos and temple interiors.

I think the easiest way to do this, would be making a global replace (with the function, both options disabled) and removing the non-tomb cells from the resulting mod with Enchanted Editor (or another program)...

Instead of replacing the statics of the tombs with unique versions, why not replace Vivec and such? I figure that would be less work...

Vibrant Morrowind should solve that problem. Makes Vivec a nice white marble color while keeping tombs dark and musky.
