WiggleWiggleLittleFish Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Im using the sevenbase body but i got these weird lines on my character even empty spaces. I followed the steps on the 7base page so i dont know what went wrong. im using SG textures for the body. Im using the temptress race as well, i copied the meshes from 7base to the temptress meshes but all races got this problem so its probobly not the temptress race.
wildtangent Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Are you using the Bombshell body? If so the Bombshell body both hand meshes are set at 100 weight. So if you want to use it with a custom race this is fine as long as your character is set at 100 weight. As for the NPC's I would suggest to download one of the other 7B bodies for them.
WiggleWiggleLittleFish Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Changing the weight fixed the hand problem but i still get these weird lines or whatever. It may be something with the lighting cause they move like waves when my character moves and they also flicker which is weird.
WiggleWiggleLittleFish Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 I found a solution but im kinda unsure how im gonna install this http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29791/? Should i just drag his file to the temptress texture folder and the general texture folder for all NPCs or do i need to do something else as well? Here is the authors description: Do whatever you want with it. I don't care anymore. Download mine or make your own. It's easy. Open GIMP, make a new file, say 32x32, color it black, save it as ‘female*_1_sk.dds’ or ‘male*_1_sk.dds’ . (Ed. The asterisk stands for anus.) No, the asterisk stands for either body, head or hands. (Ed. Don't forget to enable mipmaps (or mip maps.) or Mr. Crashie my pay you a visit.) Use DTX1 compression. It’s not supposed to add an alpha (Ed. Invisible.) channel, but it just might.I'm going to have a 'Guinness' or two, maybe some hot wings and have a nice lie down. (Ed. 'Guinness' is black.) So are some of my wings. Who the hell is Ed, anyways?Oh yeah. There are some pictures; sort of a before and after thing. Make yourself some popcorn, sit on a comfy couch and go through them again and again. Or don't. I don't care. Anyone have a bottle opener? How about some napkins?(Ed. So, where do I put this black square?)What? Where do you put the black square?FIRST BACKUP OR RENAME any *_sk.dds files, (Ed. In case you do not like the black square...) then ‘UNZIP’ the enclosed DATA folder into your SKYRIM folder using ‘7zip’. You can get a copy of ‘7zip’ free from their website. To backup, make a new folder inside the male folder and name it ‘backup’ (Ed. Spot is always good. Or Pochii. How about Pochii?) and move any _sk files into this ‘backup’ folder. Do the same for female.(Ed. Should I use a download manager like NMM?)Only if you don’t know how to find *_sk.dds files on your own. I don’t use NMM, but I have been told it will automagically backup duplicate files rather than overwrite them.(Ed. What if I see no change?)You are probably using a non-vanilla race that uses separate texture folders. You will have to find that folder and copy the black square there. Usually it is the name as the race… Some modded races use a *.bsa file so you will have to open the bsa to find the texture folder at the end of the texturesactorscharacter folder tree. You can copy the folder you find into the character folder inside Skyrim, then you may overwrite those files freely without worry. If you ever want to go back to the original, just erase the folder and the files will default to the bsa.(Ed. What is a bsa and how do I open it?)Well, bsa stands for Bethesda Softworks An… No. Big Stupid… uh… Okay, I don’t know what it stands for, but I do know it is a file compression utility like ‘winrar’ or ‘7zip’. Unfortunately, it cannot be opened with ‘winrar’ or ‘7zip’.To open a bsa, I use the FO3 Archive Utility. I’m sure there are others but FO3 Archive Utility works for me so why should I use another? FO3 Archive Utility uses the 32bit ‘Java’ script so make sure your 32bit ‘Java’ is up to date whether you use a 64bit system or not.
