Help with changing weapon textures

[gunnars2]

what is it exactly that you want to know about the adding.. you made them dds files? and put them in a texture map in your data map? then it shouldn't be a big problem to make one for the game.

Get your Texture:

Unpack a BSA File (With BSA Unpacker or FOMM) and look for the texture u want to edit.

Export it.

Edit ur Texture:

With gimp or photoshop and save as .dds (you will need a plugin for gimp)

Then u have to have to place the texture with the exact same name and same folder structure, so when u want to edit the 10mmPistol texture save your texture under

Fallout root folder/data/textures/weapons/1handpistol/10mmPistol.dds

Now get archive invalidation invalidated and change the archive invalidation value in your fallout.ini

Go ingame and take out the 10mmpistol and: voilá here it is....
