TES4Files problem

[icecreamassassin]

So I go to pack my mod and for some reason when it tries to load my customer textures, it looks inside C:\oblivion\data\textures\C:\oblivion\data\textures\clutter\filenamehere Why is it applying the extra base path to those custom files?

 

here's a shot of some of my result log:

===> Cannot find file "C:/Oblivion/Data/textures/c:/oblivion/data/textures/clutter/ingredjarwatcherseye.dds"

Check the texture path for each mesh, that is where they are pointed.

Oh, so I need to change the path in nifscope to be relative rather than exact?

 

like /textures/clutter/filename.nif instead of c:/oblivion/data/textures/clutter/filename.nif

I would probably add it as data/textures/clutter/filename.nif just in case :)

[David Brasher]

The way NifScope is set up, the path must be like : textures\clutter\filename.nif

 

If you upload your file without doing this, the gamers will all have missing textures unless their software happens to be set up exactly like yours.

 

You must NOT set up the path like: data\textures\clutter\filename.nif

or c:/oblivion/data/textures/clutter/filename.nif

Interesting, thanks for that little extra info. I thought that having the data would make sure of compatibility, but I guess I was wrong.
