SigynLaufeyson Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 <EDIT: Resolved!! Thank you!!> I decided to tackle an issue in Skyrim that bothers the heck out of me: the vast amount of eternally vacant properties. My first step was the Mythic Dawn museum which is constantly empty if you kill Silus to get Mehrune's Razor. Since I just finished retexturing several beverage bottles from a handful of other mods, I decided to turn Silus' place into the "Spirits of Nirn" beverage shop complete with drinks from other TES titles.* Everything has gone fairly well until I decided to use one of the poison bottles for the Ancient Dagoth Brandy from Morrowind.** In the picture I attached, all the mead bottles look exactly as I expected but the bottles on the top, 3 bottles of the Dagoth Brandy, are brown. The texture itself is actually dark gray. I can find no hint of brown being applied anywhere in Nifskope, at least in the fields that I understand. Technically I like the brown but that's not the issue. I want to know how / where it's being applied to the bottle. I've seen this "rogue color data" before, on soul gems. I gave up on trying to 'fix' that issue in a mod that used the soul gem meshes for other things. I hated how repurposed soul gem meshes had a purple/blue cast especially when one, for example, was being used as quartz (the plain white variety). I never did figure it out. In both cases, the bottle & the soul gems, the color is NOT coming from the texture, the cube map, the specular map, the emissive color or the specular color. The only place that I, in my limited understanding of Nifksope, can think could be causing the issue is a field called "texture set / Ref <BSShaderTextureSet>." I have no idea what that field sets or what all the value are or do. I'm sure someone has to know where that data is coming from and how to change/remove it. Any help would be VASTLY appreciated. I hate not being able to figure out something so seemingly trivial. I'd kill to find a real 'manual' on that tool as it relates, specifically, to Skyrim. Is there one I haven't found yet?? * FYI: Four Eye Grog is from TES Online, Rosethorn Mead is from Oblivion (from one of the DLCs I think), & Old Gold 200 is mentioned by NPCs in the Winking Skeever in Solitude. ** I didn't say it was going to be super lore accurate, just, um "lore inspired" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigynLaufeyson Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Ok, so 5-minutes-with-Google-later and yes, it was indeed vertex coloring. Thank you again, that's one less nagging issue! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
