Changing 'Bessy' Texture in 'Bessy the Pack Brahmin' m

[StrayChowChow]

I personally think the red model for the brahmin is atrocious, and I really wanted to get a new one.

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7973 is the Bessy mod.

 

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8179 has some of the colours/textures I want. I'm able to edit one of the MMM textures for the brahmin and use that (does not have a pack), otherwise the colours get messed up when I try to edit brahminpack.nif (the 'ayshire' colour gets all mucked up, the 'jersey' has the weirdest shadows eg: http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt215/w...creenShot14.jpg )

 

I'd love to know if there is any way to add a pack to the MMM brahmin models, or change the texture on the core game model. My preferred colours are Ayshire and Jersey for the brahmin if you are able to do it quickly and don't feel like explaining.

 

Thank you guys, I have no experience in modding and I'm just starting out!

*Edit* I do have the Pack Brahmin that I made available in this thread:

It is a very basic companion - so it might not be what you are looking for.

 

I strongly encourage you to try your hand at Modding. I had never made a mod for Fallout 3, until last month. It is really fun, if challenging or frustrating at times.

 

Do you have the file Brahmin_n.dds? Did I upload those? The game should have them. All textures need the *_n selected in the mesh that uses them, or it won't work. If that is your problem, it should be easy to fix. Otherwise, it is going to be harder.

 

To change a texture, if the texture isn't unique (if it used the texture from the game) then you'll have to change the mesh in NifSkope. You need to search out the proper instances of the right TextureSet file, right click on the correct texture and Choose your desired texture. I hope that made at least some sense.

You might find it easier to make a new Pack Brahmin companion, rather than changing the existing Mod. This tutorial is what showed me how to make a new follower: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5506
