replacing weapons textures

[Erierth]

How to change a gun texture in FO4Edit? Lets get the 10mmPistol as an example:

 

Where do I point out, In FO4Edit, to make the barrel, receiver and grip to call another texture, stored on a different folder?

 

Thanks in advance.

For that, you need to swap the material file location & name. (*.bgsm) as that's where the textures are stored. Not within the .esp. You will need to create one if the textures are new.

 

An easier way would be to put/copy the "other/new" texture to your fallout4\data folder, with the same path & name to replace it.

or you could do the same with the pistol's .nif file and change the material file(s) to swap the texture(s). Don't forget to put any new material files inside the fallout4\data folder as well as any new textures.
