Weapon visual bug, help needed!

[DeltaType90]

Hey guys and gals :smile:

 

I'm going nuts over this one, I can for the life of me not figure out what on earth is causing this and I've tried all the tricks I know to solve it, both in Blender (still relatively new to this one) and NifSkope :confused:

 

This is how the bug manifests itself in-game:

In the worldspace itself the weapon is just shown as black :sad:

 

I've worked with several weapons and none of them have had this issue, so any help would be much appreciated :thumbsup:

 

Thanks in advance! :smile:

 

With best regards

I've experienced something like that before. In my case, it was due to a bad NormalMap. That could be the case here as well.

Thanks for the reply :)

 

I was actually thinking the same to begin with, so the first thing I tried was replacing it with a completely flat normal map, which should work with anything, but still no luck :confused:

:excl: Solved the problem! :excl:

 

I suddenly remembered a trick I've used in the past and don't ask me why this works, but all I had to do was rename the textures and the problem was solved :tongue:

 

I have no idea about how the problem occur or why renaming the textures work, but there you have it :wink:
