[Tutorial] Hashmi's Creature Conversion Reupload

interesting! Thank you for the reupload
This was absolutely invaluable in figuring out how to convert Morrowind: the Symphony's new creature animations to Oblivion.
I can make an attempt, if you PM me the details/provide the files.
Provide.
I got tentative permission from the mod author to convert them, but there's an issue with the textures I need to remedy before he'll give it 100%. If I can make them display properly in-game he said he'd be OK with it, but we'd need to include credit/make clear that anyone who wants to use it in their own mod projects has to contact him.
What is the problem with textures?
They're saved in a DDS format used for advanced visuals in more modern engines; he designed those textures for OpenMW overhauled graphics processor. Basically the Normal Map is somehow saved inside the specular/regular texture...I just need to re-open the texture, save it as a format-1, then generate a shitty _n map and save it as format-3. It might just take a bit of experimenting to prevent them from being metallic in appearance.
Give me a PM texture. I will help you.
