Bombly Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Hi everyone,I don't really know where to post this, and sorry if this is the wrong place, but I saw a mod called "WWII Uniforms" which was a port of a FO3 mod, and it had a uniform called the Imperial Army Uniform, which looked exactly like what I was looking for, aside from the collar, which had a bunch of Japanese symbols on it. I looked everywhere for a simple retexturing program or whatever but couldn't find one, and all I have to do is get rid of the flag on the collar. If anyone could tell me a simple way to retexture the collar that would be great, the files I'm editing are .nif, just in case that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 i think you need a bigger picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oubliette Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 1. There's no such thing as a simple retexturing program. There are image editing programs that can be used to retexture files but to do a good job these need to be fairly powerful. 2. Gimp is a free image editing program. 3. Nifs are the mesh not the texture, you don't edit the nif if you want to make an image change. You're looking in the wrong place. 4. Editing the texture can be as simple or complicated as you want it to be. Open it in the image editor of your choice, find the area on the texture that you want to change and then either cover over it with a color similar to the rest of the texture or clone over it with a nearby sample. How well this ends up turning out is entirely up to your skill level, the amount of time you put in and what program you try to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombly Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Ok, so I dl'd GIMP 2.8 and found the textures folder, opened it up, found the dds file instead of the nif file (which I assume is the one I was meant to find) and opened it, but GIMP says unknown file type...Also I ripped the image straight off the mod page so I can't help the size, sorry.

Bombly Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I can view the dds with a DDS Viewer, but can't edit it... any idea how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombly Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Ok, new idea. I downloaded something called paint.net and I could edit the collar if I wanted to, but whenever I do it just comes out flat, like a huge splodge of one colour, any idea how to make it sort of gradient-ey where there a bunch of different shades of one colour all mixed together to get a realistic look?

Bombly Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Ok guys, did it by just copy-pasting bits of the collar over eachother, thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KangarooSwag Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 For future projects using gimp, download the DDS Plugin and it allows you to directly edit textures or make new ones without converting images first. http://registry.gimp.org/node/70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
