texture problem! help!

When I drop my stand alone glass armor re-texture on the ground it shows up with the default texture, how do I fix it? Edited January 25, 2012 by cis190

unequiped armor sometimes have it's own mesh, you have to apply the textures to this model as well. Usually their names end with go, so in your case the mesh called "cuirassglassgo", gauntletsglassgo and so on.

You also have to change textures on the 1stperson meshes if you want it complete.

I have placed my textures on the glassgogauntlets.nif and the 1st person gauntlets_1 and _0 and its still changing when I drop them! where in the texture layers am i supposed to put it there are nine slots for each file to place the textures?

Did you change the drop version to the standalone and not the vanilla? if you changed the texture path you may want to verify that the new armor is using the new drop version and not the old ones.

I have already changed the standalone texture path to where my textures are and they work on my blood armor in the game but if I take it off then it goes to the default colors, im not telling the mesh the path or something for the dropped armor and I need to know where is it located :(

^This ... It should perhaps have said "cuirassglassgo.nif and "gauntletsglassgo.nif" It sounds like you still need to set the paths in these .nif's as well ... Also FYI, most ***go.nif's point to the MALE version of the texture files, so if you've only edited the female version and if the texture is very different (in layout) from the male version you'll have to retex that one as well

I did the male and the female textures and I know that the ***go.nif file is the file to change the texture path but witch one the is nine slots?

Make sure that the MOD2 (Male) and MOD4 (Female) subrecords point to the new ground mesh, and that the new ground mesh has a proper link to the new texture.

 

Also, default nomenclature for ground meshes is GND (e.g. DBArmorGauntletsGND.nif).

[Perraine]

When you say "nine slots" are you referring to the 9 texture lines under the 'Shaders' tab in the .nif? If so, I've only (so far) seen a mesh use lines 1 and 2 and sometimes (if it has a separate mask and/or specular file) lines 5 and 6

Ummm ... Actually it isn't really, "gnd" is used somewhat less than than "go", but that's neither here nor there really ...

easy to find out, check a vanilla mesh and see where the diffuse, normal and specular map is placed. as perraine said the diffuse and normal map is placed on the 2 first rows in BSShaderTextureSet.
