SSE Glow Textures On Armour Not Working.

[cumbrianlad]

Solved: schoolboy error alert! I'd forgotten to select my armor addon in the armor form. Doh! Nice yellow glows now.

 

Hi.

 

I'm getting back to modding after a couple of years off and I've forgotten some of what I knew.

 

I'm setting up potent flame atronachs, familiars and dremora lords to be affected by the vanilla potent atronach perk. The set up works fine. I've just to change the armour and gauntlets on the Potent Dremora Lords. I want them to glow yellow rather than red. (My familiars are red. I'll move onto a more violet hue for the flame atronachs later)

 

In Nifskope, I set the armour glow in the nif using the hex editor to the exact same shade for the _0 and _1 nif files.

 

In CK I duplicated the armor and AA files for both and selected my meshes. I only changed the meshes that had the glow. I only bothered with male armor and gauntlets because you only ever summon a male.

 

I then duplicated the outfit and put in the standard boots and helmet, plus my two armour pieces. I allocated that outfit to the summoned actor, since the enc lord that is the template does not use its inventory. When it failed I added it to the other in a vain hope... obviously no change.

 

In both armor addon forms, the yellow glow shows correctly when selecting the nif files. On the preview of the actor and in game, they still have red glowing armour.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the second post but I think I've found the answer. It doesn't help me much, unless I want to be editing the armour for the next week or so.

 

The individual vertices are all coloured red. There are tons of them. The set-up is therefore like the potion bottles. I once edited the vertices on four potion bottles in Nifskope for a brown poison, but it took ages editing each one with the hex editor.

 

Is there a way in Nifskope to batch edit all vertices of one colour and change them to another? I don't fancy changing vertices one by one on four meshes.

 

I'm using Nifskope 2.0 dev 7. It seems as if this could be done for Oldrim but Nifskope does not support the feature of altering multiple vertex colours at once in SSE meshes.
