GOOGLEPOX Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Recently, some textures in Oblivion are simply black. Such as Bandit armor, and the settlement houses.

Fonger Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 with that many mods one presumes you are already using OBMM and some form of Archive Invalidation. Experimentally remove 2 of your larger "eye candy" mods to see if the problem dramatically changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOOGLEPOX Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 I reset the BSA timestamps using BSA redirection, and now theres more black textures and the male bandit I asaw has pink hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBudreck Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I believe black textures are cause by the Normal Maps being missing. There are always (supposed to be) two files for each texture; the Normal Maps have the same name as the texture, but end in "_n.dds" instead of just ".dds". So MyGreatTexture.dds would need an accompanying MyGreatTexture_n.dds, otherwise it goes black. This happened to me with the UOP; all the guard helmets were black, as well as some steel armor pieces. If the black textures are from a mod that replaces vanilla textures, the easiest thing to do is just delete the non-vanilla items; that's what I did with the UOP. Otherwise, examine the archive you downloaded for the mod for the missing Normal Maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
