Purple Textures

[Chazze]

EDIT: Feel free to just skip this first post and read the second one, it has pics and a better explanation of the problem. I also fixed the Distant LOD issue so that's no longer a problem.

 

On any texture that is glass (like the alchemy sets, the cabinets with windows, and display cases), the glass just shows up as purple and I can't see through it. Also, when I turn on distant viewing, all the LOD land is just pink/purple, except for trees and I think buildings. I thought it might be a shader problem so I downloaded the default shaders for the latest version of Oblivion and it didn't help at all. I wasn't having this problem a few days ago and I don't think I installed any new mods. Not sure how to fix it. IIRC the LOD textures started turning purple after I turned them off and back on again. I tried generating new ones with LODGen and it didn't seem to help. I don't remember if the purple glass textures happened at the same time or earlier, but I think earlier.

Woah. I reinstalled Better Cities and my Distant LOD problem went away and is working fine now - wasn't expecting that, but it works for me :P.

 

However, I'm still having the problem with the purple glass textures. I took some pictures of some the affected items:

(The tag isn't working for some reason so I had to put them as URLs, sorry!)

 

Really weird, not sure what's causing it. It does the same thing with crystal balls and display cases, and probably a few other things I haven't noticed yet.

 

EDIT: Nevermind.. Distant LOD still messed up. It seems to show correctly in some places and not in others.

[HeyYou]

Don't see anything obvious. Might try grabbing FormID Finder, or RefScope (both require OBSE), and find out which mod is affecting the equipment.....

I have RefScope and I checked all the objects that were missing textures earlier and it only said they were defined by Oblivion.esm.

 

Is there any chance there is a texture pack I can download that has updated glass textures and will overwrite the faulty ones with those? I use QTP and I tried reinstalling it but that didn't fix it.

[HeyYou]

Most of the glassware is alchemy equipment. You could grab a mod that gives them better textures, and seei if that doesn't improve things.

[Chazze]

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it. Something was wrong with my ArchiveInvalidation.txt file so I had to remake it. As far as I can tell the Distant LOD issue seems to have been fixed, too. Thanks for all the help! :biggrin: Edited July 30, 2011 by Chazze

Wait, you're still using an ArchiveInvalidation.txt file, the old-fashioned, out-dated, never-reliably-working approach to Archive Invalidation and haven't yet had a multitude of other issues with it up to now?

 

I strongly advise switching to BSA Redirection either through OBMM or Wrye Bash or the famous mod "ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!", as it gets rid of the need for Archive Invalidation entirely, once and for all.

If you did/do, just make sure there's no left-over ArchiveInvalidation.txt files anywhere in your folders anymore, or they will try to invalidate files which aren't in the BSA (an empty dummy) now to begin with and will cause multiple random issues!
