About this mod Machine translation
RUSTIC AZURA'S STAR is a high-resolution repaint of the ancient artifact Azura's Star. There are three versions of artifacts in the game. The Broken Star you discover at the beginning of the mission, and two versions available upon completion: the Infinity Soul Gem version, or the "Black Star" version of the Infinity Black Soul Gem.
Since Azura's Star is essentially a unique type of soul gem, I thought it would make sense to give it a rustic re-texture to match the soul gem textures I made for the RUSTIC SOULGEMS mod. Unfortunately, since half of the artifact is made up of metal flakes, adding transparency and glow effects isn't really possible. Someone has to create a new grid to allow such additions. So this is just a straight texture replacer and doesn't contain any meshes. Anyway, the appearance of the soulgem crystals matches the grand soulgem and black soulgem from my RUSTIC SOULGEMS mod, so if you use both mods you will at least have consistency.
While including this retexture in the RUSTIC SOULGEMS mod is doable in a sense, Azura's Star is a unique color-changing artifact, and there will always be people out there using other soulgem alternatives who still want a high-resolution retexture of Azura's Star. So I decided to keep the mod separate for now.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
