micro5797 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I am working on my first pip boy mod working with the PipBoyLabels01_d file. I am trying to change the color of the text. I am using PS and saving as a dds via Nvidia as you normally would. No matter what i do, the text shows a rectangle block of color around it. Even the dds file looks weird. I have tried to save with a transparent background, original gold color etc, but it always turns out the same. What am i doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm137 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Looks like your alphas are screwed up. Open the original file and your modded one in 32-bit color. Copy the alpha from the original (letters should be white, everything else black) and paste it into your modded file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halvaar Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) You have to save the label.dds in DXT5 when you have an alpha :wink: Most generally DXT1 No alphaDXT5 alpha3DC normal/bump map If you're using the Nvdia thingy it looks like this > http://tof.canardpc.com/preview/94b457db-11a7-4328-a0cf-5f2b9b0f0d6e.jpg Alpha channel determine transparency (white>visible / black> invisible/ grey> half visible) Edited January 14, 2016 by Halvaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marokay Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) I'm trying to figure this out as well after installing a bunch of mods i think it's flaconoil's hd retexture project, will report back if it ishttps://i.imgur.com/quKJ9tS.jpg because i doubt it's this:https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/449 <- this is a known good mod with no issues idk. i reinstalled flaconoil's hd tetexture project without the pipboy and it still has the blocked out text. gdi. could Def_UI cause this? EDIT:might need to reinstall the game. I've uninstalled nearly every mod and still have the issue. Where can I find the texture/mesh in my files?

marokay Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Interestingly the pip-boy in the loading screens, AND the pipboy in the vault, are both perfectly normal and fine. The letters get blocked out right after the vault is opened with the pipboy. but it doesn't seem to be a mod???? ... will report further tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
