Couple of small changes to horse textures here (I haven't seen any other mod like that, but if there is, please let me know).
I've improved normal maps of all horses, so they no longer look like made of marshmallow or balloons.
Here's a before/after screenshot:
Also, I've fixed small brown horse hair issue (bald patch):
Now it looks like the rest of them.
I've tweaked reins texture a little bit, making it little darker, and hopefully not that flat, fixing small issue with missing alpha channel in saddle used by light cavalry.
It's not much, but I've found it refreshing.
Works with vanilla, RotS, and FotS, as they all use the same horse model.
Screenshots were made with ultra texture settings, so I'm not sure how it looks like with lower settings (Probably little less "crispy").
Installation:
Pack file is in zip file attached below, goes to Shogun2 data folder. Movie format, so nothing else required of you to do. But I guess you know the drill
File mod_bullgod_horses_saddles.pack contains horse textures plus saddles.
Enjoy.
UPDATE:
Hopefully fixed bug introduced with patch22 to light cavalry horses. Let me know if there are any issues with that fix.
New version has also slightly retextured horse masks for general's horses, which I've made some time ago.
mod_BullGod_horsesV2.pack contains horse and reins textures, so it is updated mod_Bullgod_horses_saddles.pack actually. I just decided to keep the old file for some hard to explain reason...
