Texture file path problem


Lacera1

Recommended Posts

I have my game installed under a non-standard file directory for Oblivion. How do I get my custom textures/meshes packed so they'll work for other people? The standard install shows some people a purple shader instead of the textures I set up in Nifskope. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you change the destination like in this example

 

C:\folder\bethesda softworks\oblivion\data\textures\armor\yourarmor\armor.dds

to

textures\armor\yourarmor\armor.dds

 

it will still work for you and others...

 

Although it might not show up correctly in nifskope and CS, I heard a solution earlier..don't know where though..

NIFSKOPE can be configured to show up there and CS looks by default in that directory.

Ì'm not referring to the texture path but the rendering of the texture inside the windows.

But that's my own problem...;)

what you need to do is change the texture path in nifskope to textures/whateverpathafterthis/filename.dds

and it will work fine on all oblivion installs.

and to still be able to view the texture in nifskope you just go to render-->settings-->rendering-->auto detect game paths (or manually add the folder down to data (so for example C:/Games/Oblivion/Data).

Okay I tried to do what everyone said, but when you say to change the destination, did you mean my entire oblivion folder cause if so I can't do that since I have vista and my game seems to have a problem running through the standard install of oblivion which is why my install is like this: D:\Games. And if you mean in Nifskope, could you please explain how to change the destination like how you said above? I'm still new to the whole modding thing. n_n; Thanks in advance.

open file in nifskope, open the details pane (press F2), expand ninode 0, expand any nitristrips/shapes (and any ninodes that have further trishapes/strips) and then expand any niTexturingProperties, then change the address tot he texture in the nisourcetexture (by double clicking in the name to \textures\whateverpathinsideoftexturestoyourfile\yourfile.dds
