Combat armor retex causes talon armor texture to flicker

[whatisthisidonteven]

All I did was drop the files into the data directory and updated archiveinvalidation.txt. The combat armor retex works fine, but now the texture on the talon combat armor(which I did not alter, AFAIK) "flickers".

 

What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?

 

thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure what 'files you dropped', but the talon and regular combat armor use the same model:

 

Armor\CombatArmor\M\OutfitM.NIF

 

The difference being that the talon armor uses the:

 

Armor\CombatArmor\TalonCompanyM.dds

 

texture file in a texture set applied to the model in the geck. These files are for the male version.

 

Did you drop some bogus TalonCompanyM.dds file?

 

Flickering textures usually means that the texture (.dds) file can't be found.

Thanks, but the issue inexplicably resolved itself.

Then the reason may have been as simple as a 'dirty save'. At least its working now, right?
