darkranger85 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I got the 357 magnum and realized right away that it needed a retex, so I headed over here and sure enough there is a nice one. So I downloaded it and went to put it in and realized I can't for the life of me figure out where the texture folder is. In FO3 it was right in the data folder. I did a search and they said it was in the steam/steamapp/common but I went there and its not in there. I mean, the game works peachy keen, no missing textures or anything so they have to be somewhere. Am I going to have to reinstall the game?

Am I going to have to reinstall the game?What was the mod that you downloaded----and .esp, or an .esm? If it is an .esm, the textures/meshes would be in a separate .bsa folder found with all the other .bsa folders in the Data folder. If it is in a .bsa folder, it will have to be opened with FOMM and the textures would be inside the .bsa.If the mod was an .esp then the textures would be inside the Data/textures/NameOfMod folder-----if the modder did his folder structure correctly.

darkranger85 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) It was the 357 retex mod. http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36616 It gives me a texture folder to put in the games data folder. But, I can't find the texture folder anywhere. One place said that you have to make the folder yourself, I tried that. I went to Steam/steamapp/common and made a Fallout New Vegas/Data and put the texture folder in it. Didn't work.

Do not make new ones of them.I just downloaded the mod. I extracted it to my desktop and it has a folder called textures with a folder called weapons inside. Goto your Steam/SteamApps/common/falloutnewvegas/Data folder and look for a folder called Textures. If it doesn't exist, place the extracted textures folder you downloaded into the Data folder. If the folder Textures already exists, place the folder called weapons inside the existing textures folder. Inside the weapons folder is another folder called 1handpistol. This folder contains all the texture (.dds) files for the 357. Edited February 10, 2011 by MDC519 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkranger85 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 There is no fallout new vegas folder there at all. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common After that there is nothing, common is an empty folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it in your Documents/My Games folder? You need to find it and then follow the steps listed before. If you can't find it, then I don't understand how you are playing the game? If you can't find it, do a re-install and install it in the program files folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkranger85 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 They aren't in MyGames. I installed the game to Programfiles (x86) But its not there, not in steam, and not in mygames. I'm going to reinstall the game and see what happens, then I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkranger85 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Nope, no luck. Reinstalled it in Program Files and there is still no textures folder. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, then add that textures folder you downloaded into the data folder and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkranger85 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Nope, no new vegas folder. But I have found that the mods work if I put a textures and meshes folder in the regular data folder in the install directory and put the textures in there.
