LE What is responsible for assigning a texture to this part of the mesh ?

[somerandomguy83]

So i've been getting really annoyed by mismatched snow roads despite having identical snow textures for everything and trying to get to the bottom of it

 

As an example here is a piece of a road mesh, the structure is very basic

There are no separate meshes for snow roads, so the game sets the snow textures by applying snow texturesets to all road meshes and turns them into snow roads.

Again, here is an example of one. All snow roads use identical texturesets.

So I change LandscapeSnow01 texture to dirt and I change TextureSetRoad01Snow01 to a texture that'll be missing

Here is the result

We can see that LandscapeSnow01 textureset and our snow landscape has been changed to dirt and TextureSetRoad01Snow01 is missing as it shows a normal map, yet the skirts on all the snow roads still have a snow texture on it !

 

Now, It's not a snow sharder, snow road meshes don't have shader tags in CK.

 

Could someone please confirm or deny this issue ?

 

Just tested this issue in original Skyrim and it's not there, made an .esp that changes LandscapeSnow01 textureset texture and the new texture applied correctly to the mesh, yet making the same changes for SSE in new CK (or copying an .esp from old Skyrim that worked) have no effect. Doesn't look like it's a bug with CK, since SSEdit confirms these changes, yet they have no effect in game. Obviously I have no other .esps that overwrite it and we see that it has an affect on the landscape texture, yet it's not being applied to the road meshes skirts (my data folder doesn't contain any meshes).

 

Next step: so I took old road meshes from original Skyrim, put them in the correct folder and still nothing, the skirts are still not affected.

Great, so I was loading CK with Skyrim.esm but without update.esm and it turns out it's one of the things that was updated, only took me a good few hours to realize that, sigh.
