DMZ body outfits question (missing texture)

[Melandrhild82]

Hello, I use DMZ body and the outfits he made for it. But for "casual" outfit, the boots (feet) part and the gloves (hands) part are missing, they appear as invisible. It says it lacks texture : warlockrobes.dds

 

Would anyone have this ?

Hi. It's a pity that I deleted my account on nexusmods and now I can't download anything there. You can send me the mesh of this outfit so that I can help you somehow. It's most likely not a lack of texture, because if it wasn't there you'd be seeing purple objects. If the object is invisible, this means that the mesh itself is missing in these places.

I thought I'd take a quick look at my downloads folder (because I don't use DMZ in my in my current game)   But I have many DMZ files and none with the name DMZ body outfits.

Which mod?

What is the "casual" outfit ?  Outfit = clothes?

 

Maybe you have the texture , but the textures path in the nif is wrong. Check the foldes of the download

 

So can't be the "DMZ Vortex armor replacer" Mod, only armors in the Mod.

https://www.loverslab.com/topic/112782-dmz-vortex-armor-replacer-in-peaces/

The nif files in that Mod are very dirty. Some of the nif I cleaned, see my files in that thread. But there are still other "bad" nif files like ....

Spoiler

                                      Orcish

 

                        Original nif

 

 

                       cleaned nif

 

---------------------------------------------------

   or Legion Dragon

 

Why  are boot in the gloves nif?  If you wear gloves and boots you have two boot   =  flickering in the game.

 

 

 

Before installation clean the nif files !  And delete unused nif . In meshes\armor\  folder are nif files. In the armor folder, not in the subfolders with the armor names.  You can delete the 10 nif files. The Mod is a replacer without esp but no vanilla armor nif are outside the subfolders.

 

------------------

Please the  Mod name and armor/clothes name, best the nif name.

 

If you have the "DMZ Vortex armor replacer" you have the warlockrobes.dds and the warlockrobes_n.dds

Was in the " DMZ and Vortex DMZ Vanilla Armors separated 2.rar "  in folder  textures\clothes\DMZ Alpha\

But none of the nif in the armor replacer use this texture ( I didn't check not all nif, but most use vanilla textures )

fejeena, I remember a little about this problem with shoes on clothes, but due to the fact that too much time has passed since I played Oblivion, I can’t remember what needed to do to solve it.

 

You can check this plugin? Perhaps it contains the mesh of this robe. I can’t check it myself, for the reasons I said above.

At first I also started looking at the available files here and found only "DMZ Vortex armor replacer", but after reading the description I realized that it does not contain clothes.

 

added: Now trying to find at least some information specifically on “warlockrobes” I found this. So it’s not a fact that this mesh applies specifically to clothing. But I could be wrong. The bad thing is that I don’t have this game on my computer right now. =/

 

I looked at the textures from the second plugin pack available here. It seems to me that exactly warlockrobes.dds has nothing to do with the textures of gloves and shoes. I should probably look at the mesh itself to better understand the problem, but I didn't find it in this package. Although I do not rule out that simply installing this texture will help avoid problems. 🙂

We have the texture in the armor Mod but no nif that use the texture.  (At least I haven't found any gloves or boots that use the warlockrobes texture )

So Melandrhild82 must tell us the Mod or upload the nif to check what's wrong.

But like you said, invisible doesn't sound like a missing texture, but rather a mistake in the nif  (maybe wrong textures path ) .  But missing textures can cause different bug, depending on what is missing, Texture, normal map or both.  Nif can be black, purple or invisible.

We'll know more when we have the Nif files.

While looking through similar clothing and armor replacement plugins, I noticed that almost every type of clothing has shoes with a separate mesh. Therefore, the mistake of their absence in this case may be a simple inattention to the requirements of the established work.

 

And yes, I plunged into memories and tried to find a utility that I once really loved, which helped me more than once. I hope this will help you find the required meshes and their locations.

It's some outfits Daarigaz gave on his old tumblr "wherenonesgoes". there 10 outfits with no esp that my husband put in my Oblivion (in the Vortex chest in the bloodworks) One of the nif  had a mistake on the texture path for skin, and for the casual one the textures paths for gloves and boots direct to textures he cannot find. 

Anyway, thanks for the help !

[fejeena]

????  Does it work now with the warlockrobes.dds from " DMZ and Vortex DMZ Vanilla Armors separated 2.rar "   ?

[Melandrhild82]

It works great for the gloves, but not for the boots, my husband made a mistake, it's a leatherboots.dds texture, present where the nif directs, and there is toes in place of the boots. in game.

Then change the textures path in the nif.

Upload the nif / nifs if you need help.

[Melandrhild82]

The textures paths seem correct, but I have the toes instead of boots.

Casual.nif

[fejeena]

The path is not right, it is     c:\gog games\oblivion\data\textures\darigaz17\shared\leatherboots.dds

You can not use a full path, the path have to start with textures\ . . .

With the full path the nif can only use the the leatherboots.dds if the  texture is in c:\gog games\oblivion\data\textures\darigaz17\shared\  folder. Anyone who has installed their game somewhere else doesn't have the correct textures in the game.

 

And the NiTriStrips name should not be foot. Names foot, hand, upperbody and LowerBody  are for skin.

And that's the reason the nif can not use the leatherboots.dds in your game.  Wrong textures path. And the game notice the NiTriStrips  name foot  and use the  skin texture.

 

And another bug in the nif : there are toe nails inside the boots.

 

Here a cleaned nif: right path, changed NiTriStrips  name (now boots) , without toe nails.  ( I hope the texture is in textures\darigaz17\shared\leatherboots.dds

Casual.nif

 

EDIT: in the DMZ armor Mod the leatherboots.dds is in textures\clothes\DMZ Alpha\

So here a nif with path textures\clothes\DMZ Alpha\leatherboots.dds

Casual-2.nif

!!! You must rename the nif to Casual.nif

Thanks a lot, we still have a lot to learn we start from nothing, messing with things with nifskope.
