[Help, hanging herb Dried Elves Ear texture broken]

Ok. Solved it. So many people sod off - leaving most of us lost. So I thought - No. I wont do that. I can spare 20 minutes writing this guide.

 

(I realised that the help I was going to need was going to be massive and likely ignored. So I just tried it all myself.)

 

hangingelvesear01.nif was found in ...steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\meshes\plants

 

I installed nifskope using this as a guide to get setup:

 

I then extracted the two dds files (herbs01_n.dds and herbs01.dds) from "Skyrim - Textures5.bsa" as thumbincubation said above.

 

So I had to install BAE v0.10-974-0-10.7z and extract the two DDS files. I then placed them in the ..steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\textures\plants

 

Opening up the hangingelvesear01.nif with nifskope i could apply the textures.

 

 

There are two parts to the model click on one (the leaves) and then the other (stem).

 

(This bit took me HOURS! but now i've found it - easier for future.)

 

Once you've clicked on each segment within the render window- the left side of NifSkope menu will show some "stuff" all of which makes no sense. But using the little down arrows, i could expand each area. what you need to look for is something called:

 

"BSShaderTextureSet"

 

When you click on that, you will see some more "stuff" appear at the bottom.

 

What was assigned to it - I could tell was wrong. Cant remember the names of the dds assigned to it - but from this I could tell where i needed to put the two correct dds files, herbs01_n.dds and herbs01.dds.

 

textures\plants\herbs01.dds

 

and then underneath

 

textures\plants\herbs01_n.dds

 

remember to do each segment -the steam and the leaves.

 

two dds files for each segment.
