SSE Nif Issues

[NexBeth]

Odd problem. I seem to have had an odd meltdown with the mod I am working on with a good many textures missing from nifs placed in the plugin. These were all working well previously. Over the past 2 days I've gotten about 98% of these fixed by going into nifskope and doing texture re-paths to the correct location. Have no idea what exactly happened, but that's water under the bridge.

 

The problem remains with a handful of modder resource nifs that use ONLY vanilla textures. The paths for the vanilla textures are all correct in nifskope but still get the purple rather than the correct texture. I've looked at the same textures used on vanilla nifs, and they are fine but when used on these handful of modded nifs, they don't show up (they did before). I've even tried re-downloading the modder's resource and they still don't show up. I've also created a folder in my Texture directory and placed the vanilla textures in there, trying to repath the textures in nifskope. Didn't work. Very weird and I can't think of where to go with this baffling situation.

 

I did try validating my files in steam but didn't make a difference.

 

Ideas?

That does sound strange. Can you supply a nif that is not working so we can take a look at the file itself to better determine the possible cause? Does it not show in Nifscope, or not in CK and the game?

 

In the CK, are they using any texture set that points to a texture that doesn't exist?

yian, thank you for your input. This morning I checked this again following all paths and there was one path on each of these meshes that got convoluted somehow. Did the redirects and it looks good now.

 

Now what caused this massive problem to begin with remains a mystery.

Did you by chance move your meshes/textures file folders around at all? Sometimes, when I move them, even if I move them back to the same spot, I have to reassign all the textures again.

I actually just saved them to external drives and my meshes are saved in a directory with my initials. Sometimes the "game" doesn't like that arrangement but when I say that the problem was massive, I mean it. I even had meshes and textures that went missing and I had to get them off of the modder's resources again. It was very strange and I hope that doesn't happen again. And somehow even the backups I have (2 on separate drives) were also messed up. Those backups were supposed to be my salvation but failed. Anyway, a couple days work and I got them all straightened out again.
