You might have bumped (pun intended) on a few bump-mapped texture packs for Morrowind that require the
Morrowind Code Patch (MCP). OpenMW does support the legacy bump-maps,
but bump-mapped models may look brighter than intended if they were designed with Morrowind Code Patch in mind
because MCP can optionally apply lighting after environment maps are processed which makes bump-mapped models look a bit better,
and can make use of the gloss map channel in the bump map. It also makes skinned mesh bump-mapping possible.
We chose not to replicate the difference in environment map handling, but gloss map channel as well as skinned mesh bump-mapping are supported.

Add this to settings.cfg_-file:
::

apply lighting to environment maps = true
But sometimes you may want them to look a bit better than in vanilla.
Technically you aren't supposed to convert bump maps because they shouldn't be normal maps that are supported by OpenMW as well,
but artists may use actual normal maps as bump maps either because they look better in vanilla... or because they're lazy.
In this case you can benefit from OpenMW's normal-mapping support by using these bump maps the way normal maps are used.

You can have its equivalent enabled to make the sacks look like in Morrowind with MCP, or you may proceed on the tutorial.

- If you installed the mod like I suggested, finding the files will be easy as a pie, but if you installed it by dropping everything into your main Morrowind Data Files folder, then you'll have to scroll a lot to find them. Check the mod's zip file for the file names of the models if this is the case. The same thing applies to when fixing the textures.
