KarazynMornie Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I have a new system, all the software is reinstalled, the only thing I transferred from the old computer is the mod archive and NifSkope. When I run NifSkope, some nif files are ok, but some of them have a strange textur path and don't display textur correctly (at all) for me.It looks something like this: C:\Projects\Fallout4\Build\PC\Data\materials\... This directory does not even exist on my C driveRestore all the settings to defaults (in Options/Settings/Resources), changing the location of the program or even downloading a newer Beta version does not change anything, all Paths and Archives link in Settings ar correct set, someone has an idea ...

NexBeth Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This sounds like original paths perhaps made by other modders for their assets? Are these nifs/textures created by someone else? In any case, for the nifs with the odd texture paths, you will need to change the texture paths to the current location of where the textures are located on your computer.

KarazynMornie Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Clean Fallout 4 so far, not a single mod, nothing, I haven't even installed ModMenager yet, I just wanted to check something out and came across such a quirk ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexBeth Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 You said you have a mod archive. Nifscope can point to any directory you have on your computer. If you have mods with assets on your computer (but not in you Skyrim directory) it can point there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarazynMornie Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yes, I have a mod archive, but on the D drive and they are all packed. The C drive is just a system and a few programs ... Maybe NifSkope saves all its settings in some file ?? Although on the previous computer also the C drive was responsible only for the system and a few programs ..

NexBeth Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 It doesn't matter where you have the files. If you clicked on nif in whatever directory it is located in, the path for the textures will point to the entry made for that nif (even if it's not on your computer). That is why, when you create your own mod, and move it to your own directory within theFO4/Data folders, you also have to change the paths of your textures. For instance: I make a mod and release the assets (nifs and textures) as a modder's resource for others to use. The directory I have in my files is Textures/NexBeth/Armor/Texturefile.dds. That's not going to change when you download it. If you wish to change directory, then you'll need to make the changes yourself. Most modders releasing resources still use the standard directory so that if you just drop the files in the existing game directory, they show up fine without any modifications. But some modders don't do that. They have the files in their own directory. It is then up to you to change it. And when you create a mod, it is better to have your own unique directory anyway so that the files you plan to use don't get modified by the the addition of other mods that have altered the files. Now, perhaps I misunderstand your problem and I'm giving you info that doesn't related to your current situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
