For anyone getting purple hood (i.e. no textures) with the Nahkriin mask:
It turns out this mod is missing two texture files called “helmet_ebony.dds” and “hood_ebony.dds” that are supposed to be in a texture folder called “dragonpriesthelm”. To fix this you first need to seek out the original mod for those textures. They are in their own category in the fomod installer, so that’s probably why they slipped by the porter. You’ll also need the NX Toolkit to convert them, as well as to unpack and repack the bsa from this port.
While you’re doing that, I’d also recommend deleting the folder called “cubemaps”. As it turns out, the Toolkit can’t actually convert cubemaps properly (it removes 5 of its 6 arrays), so you end up having effectively no cubemap at all for the ebony equipment. This looks pretty bad, but it’s somewhat fixable by simply deleting the cubemap folder, as that will force those models to start using the base game’s cubemaps instead. This restores the metallic shine to the ebony gear, even if this new look is probably still a bit different from the one intended by Xavbio.
