@Hanaisse: According to the UOP changelog:
Fixed the Mage's Robe ( RobeMage{F}.NIFs ), Arch-Mage's Robe ( RobeMageArch{F}.NIFs ), Black Hand Robe ( RobeMCBlack{F}.NIFs ) and Necromancer's Robe ( RobeNecromancerF/M.NIFs ) using duplicates of the same 1.33MB normal map instead of sharing a common normal map, which would waste about 4MB of video memory if they were loaded simultaneously, plus corresponding increase in load times
I'm not up on just how this normal map stuff works, but does that sound right to you? One would think it's the opposite and this change shouldn't have been done?
Unless I miss my guess here, if you're in a spot where all of these robes load, each one is now forced to load it's own version of the same normal map instead of only loading the one normal map.
I'll have to defer to texture experts on whether this was a silly thing to do or not.
I was referring to the brick surrounding the lower part of that tower, just below the fire basin. It's really blurry and doesn't match up to the next section (right to the right or left). I'm only looking at the circular part under the fire basin. It looks much better after Brumbek's fix, so it really doesn't matter!
