Ph33rSn1p4Z Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Well, I've been working on a vault for some time now, but now that I want to ad lights, they don't work... -_- I place them, but they just don't show up. I don't want to have to save, quit, load up New Vegas, do the command and head to the light just to se how it looks. Any help?AND, I can't find a rusted vault gear door, that I could change to put my vaults' number on. All of the files seem to be hidden somehow.

rickerhk Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 When you have the editor window selected, hit 'm' to toggle view of all the markers. If you want to see light radius, hit 'l' (small L) . If you go to the top menu, 'View' they are there also. The thing that doesn't work for me is being able to view just the light markers with the 'i' - doesn't do anything. I have to have 'm' toggled on.

davidlallen Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It isn't clear if you mean the light "markers" don't show up, or the light "effect" doesn't show up. To make the light "effect" show up when you move or place lights, hit F5 to re-render. Regarding the gear door, find one in-game and note its location. Then go to the same location in geck and find the door. Double click to edit it, and you will see the model. In the dialog for the model, you will see a filename for the nif, like meshes/dungeons/something/something.nif. If you have not worked with "bsa" archive files, then you will need to get FOMM and unpack the mesh bsa file; you can find the details by searching for FOMM documentation. Once you have the nif, then you need the nifskope program to view it. This will let you see what texture files are used (textures/dungeons/something/something.dds). Then you need a "paint" type program to edit the dds. I have done this to make custom door logos for my upcoming second mod. There are a lot of steps, so you may have some learning to do, but it is certainly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once I go into that folder, I can't find anything. And another problem: I want to make my own key, but can't find the key pip-boy icon. It's just like the vault door textures: they're hidden.

davidlallen Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 These files are not hidden, they are located in the bsa archive as I described. Use FOMM to unpack them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph33rSn1p4Z Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I got all the Gear Door rusty, except for the 'column' that the drill is connected to:http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/200/geck2011020518061670.jpgAny idea what that texture is called?

davidlallen Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 There seems to be a lot of "stuff" in the render window which is blocking the view. As an experiment, without saving your result, try editing the vault and deleting bits one by one, until you can see more clearly. Perhaps this will let you find the name of the missing bit.

That's just a preview of the texture on a new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) (edit) (rewrite) I guess you are asking what is the name of the texture of the column, which is not rusty in your screenshot. Have you brought up the vgeardoorr106.nif file in nifskope? Click on the column and its vertices will highlight, and also the associated line in the block list will highlight. Under the line in the block list, you will see a line, BSShaderTextureSet. In the block details window, you will see some filenames, and I guess textures\dungeons\vault\VTrim03.dds is the file you are looking for. Can you see how to do this in nifskope? The screenshot may make it more clear. Edited February 5, 2011 by davidlallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ph33rSn1p4Z Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I know that the column is called Box01:24 thanks to NifSkope, but can't find the actual name of it's texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
