Re-texture problem

[Phrosen63]

Hi.

 

Is it possible to have two different textures on two different items of the same type?

For example: If I grab one item and duplicate it. -Can these two items have different textures and how?

 

Thanks.

Simple answer is yes. However it might be a bit more complicated if you are new to the business. Are you familiar at all with nifskope? (I assume skyrim still uses the .nif format for meshes).

 

Edit: If not, at least download and install it, we can go from there.

It's actually a bit more complicated that that even.

 

If you look at the static crates for example most of them come in 3 or 4 versions e.g.

CrateSmall02 - This is that standard crate

CrateSmall02_LightSN - This one has a directional material specified for snow

CrateSmall02_Weathered - This one has a replacement texture spacified to make it look mouldy

CrateSmall02_Weathered_LightSN - This one has a replacement texture for mould and directional material specified for snow.

 

But all of the objects use the same basic SmallCrate02.nif

You can use a base object, duplicate that object and select a different TextureSet for it. It's really not that complicated. You just need to have the alternate texture ready and in correct folder paths.

How do I select a different TextureSet?

Double click the object, change the ID, click the edit button to the right of model, and double click the whitespace to the right of the texture you want to replace (there may be more than one)
