[Help with Normal and Specular map !]

DXT5 is BC3.

 

If you are unsure what you are doing, save your work as TGA and use Elric to convert your files into dds.

[Invisible piece of mesh?]

Make sure you update tangent spaces for the mesh. You can do this in Nifskope simply by right clicking the mesh and select update tangent space in the mesh submenu.

[MAX 2013 export tool]

3ds max 2013. You additionally need the official nif export bundled with the ck and havok content tools.

[Giving Static objects gravity effect?]

Look at the nif for the lightsource you are attaching

[I need an xEdit script to change formIDs AND fix their references]

Batch mode in CK might be enough for what you want.

[De-Compiling CC Content Scripts]

Hey, I've not had any issues with this. Can you name an exact script that failed?

[Mod x Mod - Dismemberment > Prosthetic > Cybernetic / New Limb - 'Oh No! I lost a Limb!']

Any outfits where limb is visible has said limb part of that outfits model. Most have a seperate model aside from that for gands or gloves. So basically you would need to remake every outfit you want to be able to wear. Massive undertaking on par with cbbe or wonderbody, and that's just for the vanilla outfits.

[[RELz] [UTILITY] [F4SE] Autoload - Launch-to-game and bypass the main menu.]

Nice, this is basically the only f4se plugin I really miss during times of updates. Thanks for keeping it up to date.

[what program / plugin to use to create / edit normal maps?]

No clue about cs4 compatibility https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-texture-works-plugin

[need help with making an item look silver]

It's usually up to using the correct cube map and settings in your bgsm. This requires a certain amount of trial and error in each case unfortunately.

[High waist back zipper jeans]

I might do this, commenting so I don't forget.

[Half of the mesh not showing ingame]

Looks like a weighting or skinning issue.

[Need help with modding Fallout 4 Loading screens]

Transform is the location in 3d space xyz.

[3Ds Max .nif exporter plugin deforming my meshes?]

Meshes are exported with medium precision. You can avoid this by using outfit studio to convert meshes http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Creating_an_armour_for_Fallout_4._Part_4

[Editing .NIF Collision Meshes]

You can also export to fbx with the CK,

[Editing .NIF Collision Meshes]

It's still available from Autodesk

Offical tools are just an exporter and the unoffical ones cant edit FO4 collision so you'd need to remake all collision. If you have trouble finding related tuts check my playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlJS25z8WHXwuh6Z2FyO2H0T6eekXukrm

[Fallout 4 stuck at 1.9.4.]

Try verifying the game. That forces pending updates everytime

[Custom Outfits causing VATS CTD.]

Yeah what blah said is my guess as well.

[Alternate options for BC7 texture work?]

Yeah what BigAndFlabby said is more relevant than one would think. I also only use TGA so can't say for sure with other formats. Might be time for a little article on this topic? :)

[Fallout 4 normal maps editing/creating]

If you wanna manually edit the map I'd use substance painter using anchor points and or rebakes in between adjustments. But getting into that workflow ain't something you do in an hour. Usually.

[[HELP] Creation Kit stopped working]

Other than telling you to reinstall Windows, check your event viewer and see if what it reports when it crashes.

[[RELz] [UTILITY] [F4SE] Autoload - Launch-to-game and bypass the main menu.]

Great news. For someone who basically only runs FO4 for testing purposes at this point this has become essential.

[How to control specular on ground textures?]

Ahh gotcha hehe.

 

The Red channel is Specular and the Green is Gloss.

 

Blue is sometimes used for subsurface scattering but I can't think of any example of the bat.
