Heretic's Robe recolor?

The Heretics of Shivering Isles wear robes which are the same as Mankar Camoran's robe in appearance. Can these be changed to a different color to distinguish them? "Crown Royal bag" Purple would be nice, and go good with the yellow markings.

Whoops; something went wrong.

The robe is a wonderful purple, but the yellow marks are not showing, replaced by hundreds of little multicolored square pixels in large patches.

The texture for the yellow part didn't come through on the download, I think. I tried re-installing it, doing it bit-by-bit the second time by clicking "yes" to each part instead to "yes to all" but got the same result.

Your screenshot shows perfection, and you've already had a lot of people download it, but no one has yet commented on it so I don't know if anyone else is having the same problem. Can you doublecheck to see if you maybe missed compressing the yellow part when you made the zipfile? I'm not exactly sure what else to try on my end. I install lots of mods and have a clue, in case you're wondering, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right, but who knows?

Thanks again!

That's odd. The yellow markings are part of the texture, so they can't be missing. It's fine at my end.

 

Perhaps the upload got corrupted... I'll have a look at it.

 

[EDIT]Nope, they're fine. And I didn't even touch the yellow parts... I'll have a look at them in game.

 

[EDIT]I can't replicate the problem. Have you re-downloaded and tried again? Perhaps some parts got corrupted during the download. Can't really think of anything else. :confused:

Yes, I have. Three times now I've tried, and each time it only gets worse. Now the robes are completely pixelated, looking like some sort of weird patchwork mosaic. They are still shaped perfectly, but they look like they are just colored with little bitty squares of green, yellow, black & purple. The texture file is obviously very corrupted now, but I have to assume that much of that corruption is coming from my attempts to fix it. Actually, it looks really cool, but it's not what it's supposed to be.

 

Hmmm... I suppose I could painstakingly remove those textures manually from the Data file so as to not write over them, resulting in better results? I tried just removing the folders, but maybe that wasn't good enough. Worth a try, I guess. I have to stop for now, though, so it'll be tomorrow before I can give any report on how it went.

My prediction is that, at best, it will go back to the way it was the first time. Maybe I'll get lucky, though. I hope so; it really is a great looking robe.

Really, I'm puzzled. I'm not an expert on texturing, but haven't heard of anything like this before. I don't have the slightest clue as to what may be going wrong...

 

Can you perhaps upload the texture files somewhere or send them to me in some other way? That way I can download it and see if something's gone wrong during the upload/download or if it's my bad.

Oh.

Rats!

 

Well, it didn't work. In fact, it didn't even go back to looking like it did the first time.

 

It looks kinda like the color scheme of a painted troll, but with all the blotches of color being not blotched, but clean-edged.

 

I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 4 6600 card.

 

I wonder.. you say you never touched the yellow parts? Could that possibly be the very problem? Could replacing the yellow parts with a new yellow part maybe fix it? I know that's kinda out there, but it's just an odd thing that popped in my head.

 

I turned off all my other mods and tried again in the hope that it was a mod conflict doing it, but that didn't help either.

 

Has anyone else reported any problems, or success, with this? I'm perfectly ready to accept that the problem is on my end, but it would be nice to know for sure.

 

Argomirr, wouldn't it be simpler if you just downloaded the file you uploaded already and tried it, getting exactly what we other downloaders got, since it's already up and available? That would rule out any further possibility of corruption due to any screwups on my part.

 

By the way, I'm giving you kudos, and my thanks, for everything you've done already. If it can eventually work for me, then great. If not, well, we tried.
