Problems regarding custom (face) normal map

Hello,

 

I really hope that someone could help. I have made a custom face skin normal map for a custom race. The only way to get it displaying in game is to put the femalehead_msn.dds -file to actors\character\female -folder, but then it affects all female nords too, and that is not a desirable thing. I have tried using texture set in ck, but it does not work. I have tweaked around with a copied femalehead.nif in nifskope, but even that does not help. With TXT-set the diffuse map is show and when I make texture paths in nif-file I get everything else displayed in game - but not the new normal map. In nifskope I have tried both has normals and has not and changed around the BS Num UV sets value and + changed name of ninode, nitrishape and the whole nif-file ofcourse. I have tried to rename the femalehead_msn -file to something else to avoid the nords issue, but then it won't display at all in game. I have used different folders for the textures.

 

I tried to reconstruct the way that texture sets are used in other races and in the Astrid-case. Those ways seems not to work for my creation.

 

Is there properties in nifskope that would help? Is CK bugged, or am I missing something? Is there only a certain compression for a normal map that the game can read? What could possibly cause this problem? I am quite frustrated after trying out various things without a solution. I am really happy if someone has some good advice to share.
