Spriggan Matron to Green

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:07 am

Hey guys

I never really liked the color of the spriggan matron and when I realized that the diffuse texture is just a recolored one of the normal spriggan, I tried to give the spriggan matron the same appearance as the normal one.

so I started with changeing the diffuse texture, the gradient textures for the floating leaves from orange to green and changed the emissive color from brown to green hoping that the matron would glow green ingame.

The problem is, she doesn't. I looked all the way through the .nif and all the abilities, races and spells but couldn't find the reason why the matron was still glowing orange ingame.

Then I discovered that the spriggans only glow until they die, maybe it's some sort of spell...

At the moment I don't know how to go on and I thought maybe someone has looked into the spriggans a little and could give me some tips.

Would really appreciate any help

Cheers Phil

Oddly I'm trying to change the color of the hands of Spriggans right now. Let me know if you find anything to change their glowiness.

That's pretty easy...you have to select the NiTriShape of the glowing Hands and then open the BSEffectShaderProperty, scroll down all the way to Gradient Texture.
It should be gradspriggangreen on the normal spriggan. Now you can change that texture to the orange one of the matron or change the green one with PhotoShop to a color you like.
