Thank yous
Thank you first to Lysol, for the installation instructions, his excellent OpenMW texture mods, and for giving me the inspiration to do this. I'd also like to thank the makers of GIMP for getting me from noob to excellent in just two days. The makers of OpenMW, an excellent project without which these textures would be impossible. Deandra, for hearing out my stupid mod ideas. And my brother, for letting me use his Nexus account.
A thank you to Bethesda Softworks, for Morrowind; and a thank you to GOG for selling the DRM-Free version of Morrowind that I own and use.

Texture Info
Indoril Armour is maybe the most recognizable armour in Morrowind; it's most famously seen worn around Vivec City by its special guard, the Ordinators. While the textures were cutting edge at the time, after almost 15 years they look... smudgey. So I decided to do a super lazy retexture and normal map using GIMP.
The method I used was pretty basic: Take vanilla-texture, use "refocus" plugin, export as "vanilla-texture.dds", desaturate colour (luminosity), use "normal map" plugin (scale -5), export as "vanilla-texture_N.dds". That's all I did. Nothing special, but I think it turned out rather vanilla friendly and a lot better looking. Imagine how good it would look if somebody actually spent time on it!
To install (good, OpenMW multi data folders-style):
This guide explains the process in detail. Check it out if you haven't done this before.
To install the mod, create a data folder for the mod and add its path to openmw.cfg
To uninstall the mod, simply remove the folder from openmw.cfg
Find your "settings.cfg" file. Should be here:
Linux: $HOME/.config/openmw
Windows: C:\Users\Username\Documents\my games\openmw (username, harddrive and language may vary)
Mac: $HOME/Library/Preferences/openmw
Add these rows to settings.cfg (except for the QUOTE):
QUOTE [Shaders] auto use object normal maps = true auto use object specular maps = true
You're done! Launch the game and everything should work as expected. Didn't understand a thing in the first two steps? Again, look at the official OpenMW wiki guide.
Still don't understand? Ah well. Do it the old way then. Follow the instructions below. But it's gonna suck when you have to uninstall or reinstall the mod because you will have to remove every single texture manually.
To install (bad, old school way):
Put the "textures" folder in your Data Files folder in the main Morrowind directory. Overwrite when/if asked.
Find your "settings.cfg" file. Should be here:
Linux: $HOME/.config/openmw
Windows: C:\Users\Username\Documents\my games\openmw (username, harddrive and language may vary)
Mac: $HOME/Library/Preferences/openmw
Add these rows to settings.cfg (except for the QUOTE):
QUOTE [Shaders] auto use object normal maps = true auto use object specular maps = true
You're done! Launch the game and everything should work as expected. ----
