Is there anyway to find out what textures you are using?

Post » Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:06 pm

Topic. For two reasons (I need to upgrade my operating system and I have people that want to know), I need to figure out what textures I have been using. I know all of the mods I am using, and some of the textures, however I don't know all of them. Is there anyway at all? I should have made a text file with all the textures I was using, however my hindsight is horrible.

There is an example. The person who did the Vivec building textures, did a fantastic job and I forgot who it was sadly. The leaves are for Ascadian Isles only, forgot who did those. But those are just two, I'd really like to know about all of them. I doubt there is a way, but it never hurts to ask right?

Find tnifs names used in the mod in the TESCS, open the these nifs in NifScope and check texture files names, search your HD for these files.
Or you are interested in something else?

Err, I'm not sure. I know where my textures are and all that that. But I'm going to want to re-install all my textures when I get a new operating system. I'm sure just copying them all and pasting them in bad, no.. it would be better to install them from scratch like you are supposed to.

I can think of two ways. 1) Make some good screenshots of the textures you want, then post them here and ask if anyone recognizes them (people here are good at that). 2) Run Linux, write a little script that does checksums of all your texture files, unpacks a texture archive, checksums its textures and tells you if any of your installed textures match ones from the archive (I have a little script that does almost this but it uses Unix tools like "find" and "md5sum"), or maybe there is something that can do this on Windows.

Or just start over and use Wrye Mash's Installer feature, which allows you to very quickly and easily try out new texture packs. You'll probably find most of your old ones quickly, and maybe discover some nice new ones.

Actually, backuping your Data Files folder from your old install, then copying it on a fresh install of Morrowind on a new setup isn't bad, and it's much more simple and quicker then reinstalling every mod seperatly. It doesn't make a difference if you copy it from a downloaded archive or if you copy them from the Data Files/Textures folder. They got in your Data Files/Textures folder because you copied them from a downloaded archive in the first place.

Thanks I may just do that. However, I do have some problems in my game that I need to work out and I was hoping re-installing everying from scratch would help.

Then again, those aren't texture issues. Would it be ok to (obviously save everything), to only copy over the meshes/texures?

Also, something I really would like to find are the trees in my original post video, they are a replacer for vatily's speed tree ascadan isles region, something LIKE this

however that isn't it, any help?

EDIT - Finally found it....

for anyone curious

Now, if I could just find who did the Vivec textures I'd be set, becuase I used almost all his work.

If you're only worried about saving your texture replacers and want to fix any problems you have, then yes, I'd say just copy over your textures folder. Unless you have some replacers that improve the meshes too, that won't be a problem. If you do have mesh replacers, you can probably copy just those meshes or find them again to download, especially if they also have an ESP.
