MBP missing textures

[Feldspare]

Hi, I recently downloaded MBP and made a few characters. However, none of the races added by MBP or ++117 race have textures on their body. I checked each race's folder and sure enough, none of them contained body textures. 

 

So, I opened them up in TES4Edit and the first thing I notice is that all of them use these files for the body:

• texture\characters\imperial\female\upperbodyfemale.dds
• texture\characters\imperial\female\LegFemale.dds

 

There are no upperbodyfemale.dds or LegFemale.dds

 

The next thing I tried was simply copying the footfemale.dds file and renaming it to upperbodyfemale.dds and another for LegFemale.dds. 

That did not work.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here are some screenshots for clarity.

 

TES4Edit says we need these files

 

Omod says we need these data files

 

as you can see these files do not exist

MBP was not based on default races or their usage of textures.  If you look at the MBP esm and esp you will find that they do in fact use the two dds files you mention.  Try archive invalidating via bsa redirection with OBMM or Wrye and then see if that gets you working.

I have bsa redirection checked in OBMM. Didn't do anything

 

I think the problem is:

textures\characters\imperial\female\upperbodyfemale.dds

textures\characters\imperial\female\legfemale.dds

 

that these do not exist. The mod is pointing to files that it does not provide.

 

The default oblivion does not have these files. Yes, I have the most up to date version. I'm using the Steam version

I think I see your mistake there is only a upperbodyfemale nif there is no upperbodyfemale.dds the upper body .dds is named textures\characters\imperial\female\footfemale.dds. The footfemale is the upperbody body texture but is also used for 2 others as well.

 

The hand has the textures\characters\imperial\female\handfemale.dds.

 

The textures\characters\imperial\female\footfemale.dds is also the same texture used for the lowerbody texture.

 

The feet are textures\characters\imperial\female\footfemale.dds which again uses the same footfemale.dss as the upper and lower body because they are all located on the same texture file.

 

If you use nifskope http://niftools.sourceforge.net/wiki/NifSkope and double click on a nif it will load it up and you can click the body and then see where the body texture path is located double clicking on it will let you look at the texture path being used.

 

If you use gimp with .dds plugin you can throw the footfemale.dds into it and it will be able to load .dds files and you will see what the texture file has on it. http://www.gimp.org/

 

Also not all nifs and texture files are going to have the same name but that is where nifskope can come in handy. 

 

Not sure where the legfemale.dds is from unless that is just the way tes4edit has it listed as I have never seen it before unless it's something new in the MPB mod.

That is because you are looking at MPB with tes4dit it shows the same thing *for* me that doesn't mean the files are going to be that name as well those are the name tags that are used in the .esp.

 

body nif  body texture MPB body texture path tes4edit  tes4edit2 

 

Not all races will show up like that in tes4edit it's just the way the .esp was made. My EVY race uses  Characters\AIR\EvyRace\FootFemale.dds Characters\AIR\EvyRace\HandFemale.dds

 Characters\AIR\EvyRace\FootFemale.dds Characters\AIR\EvyRace\FootFemale.dds

I have the footfemale.dds in my folder and the skin doesn't show up. I still don't understand why. It doesn't make any sense

MPB needs a body texture replacer like HGEC I'm not sure what MPB you have but the one I have not all races in it will have everything it needs. X117 needs X117 diablo elves need the Diablo 6 in one mod that is on LL the siren race needs the siren race mod installed so they appear correctly.
