Strange Problem when retexturing Hunting Bow


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Curently, I'm having a really strange issue with my hunting bow.

 

I am trying to retexture the bow to make it darker and entirely wooden (including the metal parts on the ends). I am editing the texture in Gimp latest version.

 

What I've done is, I made the whole image a lot darker, and I've replaced the metal thing with wood. I have only edited steelbow.dds.

 

When I load the game, the wooden parts and the grip show up darker, as intended. However, the metal parts still stay metal grey, instead of using my wood texture.

 

Am I doing something wrong? If it helps, I've used copy-paste in the process. I thought of a potential layer problem, but it shows up as only 1 layer.

 

Thanks for any help that you guys might have!

 

Best regards

It could be that you missed a portion on the model in nifskope that is still linking to the original .dds file, or you could be having other issues with the different components.

 

There are several textures in most of the Skyrim models, especially something as frequently carried as a bow. Check this video on making your normal maps which may be an issue you are having.
