dubiousintent Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Re: red vs purple. While both statements are true, they are not mutually exclusive. The red exclamation points can appear for SOME missing texture situations as well. (It varies by Bethesda's implementation of a given game.) The Purple appearance seems to only occur with "missing texture files", but so do some other colors. Still, it is a good general guideline. Just less certain than it appears on the surface or we might wish. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1205226User Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 You are right. Although I've never seen or heard about the ! for a missing texture only, it doesn't mean it can't appear in certain situation.You are helping people much more intensively than I do, so I'll rely on your experience. In FO3 or FNV: For missing textures, depending on the object and the situation, I've experienced the Purple appearance, semi invisible object or chameleon textures (same as with ArchiveInvalidation). For missing meshes I've only experienced the ! (and CDT). So my statement was a bit short and, as you say, can be taken as a general rule knowing that exceptions do exist.

RoyBatterian Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 ! is missing mesh, and unloaded textures for bodies tend to show purple. You'll get kaleidoscope textures on random things when they can't be loaded. Cells will fail to load and you'll fall through the void. This is almost always too many plugins in your load order as already mentioned. Merge some plugins (patches can be easily merged) or uninstall some mods. This can also corrupt saves so you should use a save from before it happened. If you are using Millenia's weapons , don't uninstall them or your game will fail to load because they use a script command which permanently puts them in the form and leveled lists. On rare occasion this can also be caused by a badly made bsa or corrupted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubiousintent Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 NVSE is a "extension" library of functions. As such it is installed and should always be present (much like the FalloutNV.ESM). Due to where it needs to go (under it's own, non-standard folder under "Data") it typically needs to be manually installed (not through a mod manager). Please see the 'Checklist Item #4' entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide. Only use the "ArchiveInvalidation" feature of one mod manager. They each use different filenames for the "AI" file and multiples cause problems. Just turn it off in all other managers than the one you prefer, and then toggle that one to make sure it picks any changes to "loose files". As you mention Vortex, you may or may not be aware that it's AI has to first be installed as a "mod", and then toggled on. I just recently updated that information in the 'Mod Managers' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
