black Daedric texture replacer- no weapon icons

[diosoth]

I installed this texture replacer-

Now, with the textures active, my Daedric weapon icons go blank and I'm trying to figure out why. There is no esp file, it's just a texture replacer but to get it to work I have to add this to ArchiveInvalidation.txt

 

textures/armor/daedric/shield.dds

textures/armor/daedric/m/boots.dds

textures/armor/daedric/m/cuirass.dds

textures/armor/daedric/m/gauntlet.dds

textures/armor/daedric/m/greaves.dds

textures/armor/daedric/m/helmet.dds

textures/weapons/daedricbattleaxe.dds

textures/weapons/daedricclaymore.dds

textures/weapons/daedricdagger.dds

textures/weapons/daedriclongsword.dds

textures/weapons/daedricmace.dds

textures/weapons/daedricquiver.dds

textures/weapons/daedricshortsword.dds

textures/weapons/daedricwaraxe.dds

textures/weapons/daedricwarhammer.dds

 

With this in place, the textures work but I have no menu icons for any of the weapons. It affects all copies of them- vanilla, weaker Dremora versions, the Crimson Eviscerator, and even the extra copies from this mod- http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=23543

 

Oddly, the armor icons are not affected, only weapon. So why is this? I can remove the weapon entries from the text file and it fixes the icon problem so I have to think it's a problem with where the weapon textures are placed. Maybe they should be in a separate folder and not the raw weapons directory?

No need to edit your ArchiveInvalidation.txt. It's an outdated method for registering your texture replacement mods into the game. Just download ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated and your worries will be over. :)

Actually I just set up my Archive Invalidation to BSA Redirect under OBMM. It was set to Universal. This seemed to work as far as texture replacers were concerned... though when I loaded the game I found BBB was broken and breasts were stretching and distorted. But I think it was a problem with the skeleton- somehow doing this replaced my Maximum Compatibility Skeleton file with the default, a simple replacement of the file fixed the BBB issue. Though right now I need to keep an eye out and see if that was the only thing that was broken.
