The Texture Directory Doesn't Work... Period.

[ChrisL33T]

I have my .nif file in the ...\Data\Meshes\XXX.nif

 

... and it worked fine in TES Construction Set

 

BUT! When I put my .DDS file in my ...\Data\Texture\XXX.DDS

 

IT DOESN'T WORK! I get the "Invalid Directory" when I try to make a weapon with my texture.

 

I'm sure you've heard this a MILLION times but, Google couldn't fix my problem.

 

 

Please Help.

The only thing I can think of is that you stated it was in

 

...\Data\Texture\XXX.DDS

 

Well the directory is supposed to be "Textures". You left out the "s".

[ChrisL33T]

Oh yeah, that was a typo. "Textures" and "Texture" dont work. at all.

Ok, this is really starting to bother me, I really need help....

[ChrisL33T]

Really? No help? This is a really big problem. I can't do any mods...

Your initial post is a little too vague. Did you create the mesh? Are you retexturing an existing mesh? Did you create the texture?

[ChrisL33T]

Ok, this is what i did.

 

I took silverlongsword.nif (extracted from the game's bsa) and put it into Oblivion\Data\Meshes\...

 

THEN! I have silverlongsword.dds AND silverlongsword_n.dds and put it into Oblivion\Data\Textures\...

 

I go into TES Construction and make a new weapon... The mesh works fine... BUT! When I upload the icon texture it says "Invalid Directory"!!!!!

 

 

I DONT GET IT!!!

[mimada]

So the problem occurs when you try to set the icon texture? Did you extract the icon texture from the bsa?

[ChrisL33T]

Yes. I did. And also a side note, when i download mods, their textures dont load either, so its not just me.

Are you running Windows Vista?
