Mirelurk Texture

[WastelandLoner]

I have been replacing the textures of various creatures, however I can't get mirelurks to work. Looking at the textures in the bsa archive, there is mirelurk, hatchling and king.

mirelurk.dds only seems to affect the hunters, and I have no idea what mirelurk hatchling is for.

Can anyone help me out?

 

Thanks

There are Mirelurks, Mirelurk Hatchlings and Mirelurk Kings in the game. Each of these variations has it's own Mesh and Texture. Compared to the Mirelurk the Hatchling is a different color and has smaller head armor and no appendages on the torso. The King is of course totally different.

The King's texture is textures\creatures\mirelurkking\MirelurkKing_d.dds.

The Hatchling is textures\creatures\mirelurkhatchling\MirelurkHatchling.dds.

 

When you are looking for Textures you should search for and extract the Mesh from the bsa first and then use NifSkope to look at what Textures the Mesh uses and where they are located. This is much more reliable than searching in the Texture bsa by name. After you open the Mesh in NifSkope you look for BSShaderTextureSet in the Block List and then the Block Details will show the Texture information.
