Problem With Custom Textures

[ganondorf901]

First off, I have retextured items many times. But for some strange reason, for the past few models ive done, the textures appear black in the CS. This is very strange, They appear in NIFSkope, But for some reason when I load the mesh in CS it appears black. Anyone have any idea why?

What are you re-texturing ?

 

Black as well as purple is an indication of a missing texture.

I think black is what happens with missing textures on bodies more than objects.

Things can, and often seem to work in NifSkope, but don't work in game.

This is usually due to some rule being broken in relation to the way the

mesh is constructed, or misapplication of naming convention in NifSkope.

 

The reverse is true in CS. I have had some clothing items not show, or only have

part of them show, in CS but still work in game.

Have you tried your model in game and still get black ?

Double check your texture path in CS.

I am retexturing some basment paths. I checked the pathing and nothing seemed wrong. I havent tried them In-Game though

Just remembered - it could also be you are missing a normal map.

Black can be that as well, I think.

The original may do, but you may want to make one from your texture,

but see if having the vanilla there helps first.

Ya I think it is the normal maps. I tried taking the vanilla maps and renaming them with the _n at the end but it still apears black

Woot I got them to work! Took alot of renaming but now its good.
