NIF Files - Texture Path

[cleavagesweat]

wondering if anyone knows if there is an easier way to repath textures inside nifs. this is a shot in the dark and i'm trying to see if there is a way around all the hand-jamming.

Are you clicking on the purple flower thing and selecting, or double clicking in the text and typing? Either way I don't know a faster way than selecting sorry

Nif Textures

You need to edit the INI file to define where the (armor/body/object/whatever) Meshes and Textures folder/subfolder is located so that the Nif Texture program knows where to scan then add the new texture paths to the meshes.

 

 

Mesh Tool N4 - Path Extractor

Can only be run from the command line.  Scans the texture paths of a mesh and creates a text file listing all of the textures assigned to that NIF.  You then edit the text file to assign different textures or texture paths then use Path Extractor to read the edited text file and make the changes to the mesh.

these look promising... i suppose i should give some background on what i am trying to do.

 

i have around 40 NPC replacers that each use individual meshes and textures (this is due to wanting to use different textures for each) but each time i want to change the body nif in bodyslide a little i have to go to each NPC's meshes and hand-jam each texture path into the new mesh files. its exhausting. so i guess what would be IDEAL is if there was a tool that let me select a nif file and enter the path and it auto populates.
