mktsang Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 and when i equip it on a player his chest goes invisible and so do the arms check and see if your mesh have NiSkinInstance if not, you mesh is not gonna show up, and other problem may be the normal map, somehow missing normal map may cause this as well..

Could you elaborate how you went off doing that retexture? Did you create a new retextured item by creating a new nif file/Did you replace in inside an existing.nif file/did you change a vanilla or a mod cuirass? etc...

alonsomartinez Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 sorry I used gimp to retexture the armor. i only recolered the armor so that it turns into a darker shade I then just renamed the existing map to fit my new texture like it says on the wiki.i made a shield and some swords like this and it all worked fine but I cant get the Cuirass to work right.

Here's the problemIf you rename your dds file(texture), you have to have a normal map, which is indicated as _n.ddsyou need to have that in order for your texture to show up Without a normal map, your texture will never come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Normal maps are the parts that capture (/determine) the light on armor, as in real with your sight you can't see without. So the game can't show you things without it either. Unless you changes some text or depths you don't need to change the normal map and can indeed just change the _n-file its name. It isn't required to let things function in CS and Nifskope, so that's why it could have been left unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
