rahxial Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Anyone out there could do me a huge favor?I wish to get this particular armor re textured and redone: http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5943 Cept that I would like a black version or a darker gray colored of it (to look all stealthy). Also to remove the light bulbs. I asked the original modder himself if he could do that for me, but he wasn't up for it. And I wish I can mod for ****, but I just don't have it in me. Anyone who does this would be doing me a huge favor and would receive a 10 from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthicKhaos Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Good luck, looks easy enough. How come the other guy wasn't up for it? By the way have you ever even tried modding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahxial Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just don't know the proper programs to do it, nor even have the slightest idea on how to do it once I find em. And I highly doubt anyone wants to donate their time in teaching me how. and i don't know why he didn't want to do it either, just his decision I guess.

ManOfGah Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well, I'm not a great texturer, but I'll tell you what I know. unless you have photoshop, you'll be wanting to dowwnload GIMP (here: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ ) After you have GIMP or photoshop, dowload this (for photoshop) http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photosh....html#downloads or this (for GIMP) http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/dds/ . These will allow you to edit .dds files, the file type for fallout 3 textures.Now, If what your downloading is from a mod*, you probably won't see any .bsa files, but if you do, you'll need this http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6289 to open it. Once you have the .dds file open in photoshop or GIMP, edit it. I'll warn you now, it looks just like a bunch of scattered pieces. Anyway, when your done editing it, save it as a .dds file, and if you didn't use the .bsa unpacker, put it back where you found it. if you did use it, then you'll have to take the file path (lets say you changed the knife texture, the file path would start with the unpacked folder, which is whatever you named it (should be textures) , then weapons, then 1handmelee. Whatever it is, go to the data folder, make a folder textures if there isn't one already, and, using the baseball bat example again, make another folder, weapons, then another, 1handmelee, and put the file in there. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE FILE IS IN THE CORRECT FOLDER AND ALSO HAS THE SAME NAME AS THE ORIGINAL FOLDER NO MATTER WHICH METHOD YOU USED. I say this in all caps, because any problems with the texture appearing in game can usually be traced to a problem with one of those steps. Anyway, once thats done, start the game, and you should see the new texture. If you need any more help, or are unclear on something, just ask. *EDIT: after looking at the file description, no, you would not need the bsa unpacker. However, it's still good to know if you ever want to edit a vanilla texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManOfGah Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Did you try what I suggested? I'm willing to help you do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahxial Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Yes, I can't even open the file with that gimp or photoshop programs you suggested. The file type was converted into GECK since the 1.5 patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOfGah Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Did you download the plugins to? thats what you need to open the .dds file type. Unless you mean theres a new file type, in which case could you tell me which? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahxial Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 It's a new file type. I managed to open it with the G.E.C.K, but im not sure how to work this. Guess i have to do this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
