Race Retexture Help

[dragnierdraconai]

I am trying to do a white tiger texture for a reskin of tabaxi race. The problem is that the stripes do not show up at all below the neck. The face is fine and has stripes, but the rest is all white with none. Funny thing is, if I take any .nif and skin it with nifskope, the texture shows up just fine. But when I add the texture in the race menu of the CS it doesn't. Any ideas?

did you add the nif and texture to your game data folder and then set the texture path for the nif in it?

Races don't work the same as everything else. You can't add .nif files for upperbody, lowerbody, hands, or feet. The only thing you can do is add the .dds in the body data tab of the race menu in the CS. What I am trying to figure out is why the texture renders stripes everywhere else except when I load it onto the race, at which point it is only white with no stripes.

What body replacer you use?

What body replacer you use?

 

Right now I use HGEC Non-nude. I used to use plain EC but I decided I like the look of HGEC better. I already have the tabaxi race original textures. I've even tried to merge my new texture with a copy of ren mystic elf texture using gimp and transparency but the resulting .dds still refuses to wrap correctly. I imagine it has something to do with UV mapping. That is why I thought placing my image layer on top of ren's and changing transparency on my layer to show ren's through would fix that. I've been looking at tutorials for blender and I don't know if I can do UV mapping or not. If not, I guess I'll have to post a request for someone else to do it for me.

You have to retexture footfemale.dds if you're using any female body replacer. Currently, all body replacers(except older version of Growlf's) use feet texture to wrap around whole body.

I finally got it. I did what you said but there were a couple of other files to edit too. Once I got done it turned out ok I think. Here are some Screenshots:

I will eventually be uploading a mod based on BP but with this and some other races added to it. I hope people like it.
