Changing textures in nifskope

[Jormungandr]

Whatever i do to change textures in the BSS entry in nifskope, nothing happens, the armor keeps the default texture and the inventory mesh looks balls.

 

What am i doing wrong?

I don't have enough info to answer/help you.

Alright, it's about this lich king armor http://modtype.doorblog.jp/archives/11374737.html

 

I contacted the author of that image http://static.skyrim.nexusmods.com/images/56452-1351379241.jpg on the nexus because of the neat chainmail texture on it.

 

He told me he did that himself with his own texture, which would be this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28373

 

Now i've been trying to add the black.dds texture to the BSS entry under "baseshape" in nifskope, which should be the body texture, at least from what nifskopes marked part shows me.

 

I tried to change the texture path with no success, i even changed all texture paths on all nifs of the body armor. it still kept the body texture, the only thing that happenes is that the inventory meshs texture got screwed up.

Delete the BSLightingShaderProperty of the body and copy the BSLightingShaderProperty from "Cuirss" and paste it in to the body's NiTriShape, and then point it to the mail textures.

Sorry took me a bit longer, unfortunately that didn't do anything, or do i need to change the paths on both _0 _1 nifs? also, do i only need to change the first texture entry or something else?

[Vioxsis]

Both _0 _1 need to be changed and you should change the first 3 entries

 

black.DDS in the first slot

 

mail_n.DDS just under it

 

mail_s.DDS under that

 

 

And delete the cube maps on the 5th and 6th line.

Well that showed some effect, although it ended up more like a fetish lich king suit. O_o

And for whatever reason the panty texture is gone. Did it like you said, changed the BSL for the "cuirss" one and added the 3 textures at 1 2 and 3rd place.

The chainmail texture file path is

 

textures\body suits\chainmail

In the end you did it again yourself . Oh boy, thank you for being so patient with me Vioxsis, i lost count how often you've helped me by now with stuff like this.

 

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry, i'm not very good at explaining things. i mod mostly on Instinct, so i have no idea what i'm doing half the time.

 

 

but to correct, and add to what i posted earlier,

 

you put the mail_s in the 8th slot not the 3rd

 

and in the NiTriShapeData you change BS Num UV Sets from 1 to 4097

No you don't need to be sorry. I'm always happy to get help, i'm sorry, because i always end up other people doing the work.

Heck the only thing i can do with meshes, besides copy+paste are mashups and not even those work always.

 

For example i don't even know why the mail_s texture path had to be at the 8th slot, i don't even know for what those slots stand for.

All i know is which maps go to each slot but there are more slots then type of texture maps i know.

 

Not a lot of stuff make sense to me in nifskope. But i can do a lot of things in it, maybe one day i will understand them things

I hope i'll get the hang of animations for skyrim one day, but yeah i can't even do proper mashups sometimes, i do everything alright, or at least i think i do, and ingame the armor CTDs the game. That's always frustrating.

 

Sounds maybe weird, but i find meshes more interesting than textures.

Never tried animation, but some times wish i could do it when i find a animation i like but they haven't moved the skirt bones.

 

And meshes are more interesting, but that might be a bit biased because i can't texture to save my life

No i find threm more interesting because of dem animations.

 

It's weird really, i ONLY see people who can either texture OR do crazy stuff with meshes, never seen somebody wo could do both. that's kinda scary. I can't texture either, UV Maps and vertices are my nemesis.
