I need Help Please!!!

[foxernator]

So this is my problem.

I was going to try out creating my own mod which simply adds rust to rusty iron. So I made the the texture and normal map and I duplicated the normal iron cuirass .nif files and called them rusty cuirass. I used the texture replacer to change the textures for my rusty cuirass. I then put all the files I had made into my Oblivion directory and used the tes construction to put the armour in the game. So I tested it and all I got was my character with an invisible body :sad:

 

Please may someone help me. I am a noob to modding aswell

 

Cheers

What do you have the armors set as? Do they replace body parts? What do they look like in NifSkope? If you could send me a picture of NifSkope open with one of the pieces (preferably a cuirass), I might be able to discern what the problem is. They should be just fine, provided your texture and normal maps are fine. Please post pics of them as well. (If you don't wish to share, you can pm them to me). Please also post or pm a screenshot with one of the armor pieces shown in the cs. These will help me diagnose your problem. It could anything from setting alpa properties to 0 to not setting them up properly in the cs.

 

Basically, I need all information that you can provide in order to help you fix this.

The "invisible body" issue can be caused by a missing NormalMap (a texture ending with _n). The NormalMap must have the same name as the texture, but with _n added to the end. Example:

 

RustyIronCuirass.dds ; the texture name

 

RustyIronCuirass_n.dds ; the NormalMap for the texture

Hi

Cheers for your suggestions but I've fixed my problem (the texture wasn't in the main directory :wallbash: ). Thanks again for your suggestions.
