GAAAARGH!!!! Typical!!!

Man, I've GOT to stop doing this! I'm turning into my own worst enemy! Remember the texturing issues that I was having with the particles? Well I was searching on the net for help or examples of how the blazes you get particle stuff to translate from 3DSMax to Morrowind correctly... I found lots of good particle stuff:

Lady Eternity's Mod Resource

ANNND even links and tutorials for how to do BB clothing:

which will come in very handy.

As good as all that was though, I was still having difficulty getting the dammed particle effects to work properly when brought into the game. SO!!!, there I am filing away the days research when I notice, sitting quitely in my Morrowind research folder, a wonderful little inconspicuous file that I've labelled "light torch Max template"....



Queue much smacking of head off of desk, monitor & anything else that seemed hard enough. Basically it was EXACTLY what I was looking for most of the day on the net and apparently I already had it... I just didn’t realise! I had it lumped in with some armour & weapon 3DSMax examples... blooming typical!

Anyway! It's all good and it works and, as far as I can see- the file came straight from the developers!!! I'll try and track down exactly where I got it from but it's blooming perfect! It should let me use the fire effect exactly as it's used in the game which is what I wanted to do all along sooo.... wunderbar! Things are going my way!

Hopefully I'll have some pretty picture of my first PROPER flaming armour bit tomorrow.
