[LE] Retextured dress but some textures are not showing up

[Tasheni]

I have another question: I retextured a dress (Barkeeper) with Photoshop and it looks good in Photoshop and Nifskope, but in ck and game only the textures of the blouse are showing up, the skirt remained vanilla. I did the same with the wench dress and a farmer's dress and this worked pretty nicely. What am I overlooking?

 

I experienced the same with a jewelry box of a modder's resource: I gave it another woodtexture in nifscope but in ck and game it shows the original texture. Any ideas are very appreciated. Greeting, Tasheni

Are you using Texture Sets or Altering the nif Textures Paths? && these 'ADDon - AMO' have a Stock(Texture Paths) & a Variant (Texture Set) Types && then there's the UV map && CK references where applicable.

 

I don't know exactly what you re-textured Stock or Variant, I know it a BarKeep, there variables...

 

Example: if you did a Variant, the Base Variant CK Texture Set would Rock Paper Scissors your NifSkope textures Paths, & you would see the same'ole'stuff in game, tho it would be perfect in NifSkope. (sorta like your description) In this case you need to create a Texture Set has a Replacer or Override Record.

 

But I feel the nif must modded with a top & a Skirt to see what describing.. Since I can't see inside you PC it just food for thought & speculation on my part.. & getting complicated. Try to keep Skyrim as Vanilla has, when Modding, since like oil & water, Gaming & Modding don't mix well. (like what happen to me that time :wallbash: :unsure: )

 

Just Some Thoughts

 

 

 

& returning the favor when I couldn't see it, thank you for your kind words :happy:

Thank you for your quick reply. I didn't use a texture set. Just overpainted a copy of the dds file in photoshop and changed the texture path in nifskope.

Uh, just see - I didn't know that there are texture sets for the clothes in ck. But the normal barkeeper clothes are not there as a texture set. But I will take a closer look at the nif. At the moment I'm terrible tired - spent the whole night with landscaping :)

They both use the same Nif, in the Data Folder

 

The Stock is say you Textures, with paths set in nifskope as usaul

 

But the Variant is a duplicate of the Stock with the same nifskope Texture Paths, only it has a CK Texture Set overriding the nifskope paths to give it different color

 

 

Edit

 

so I didn't mean you were using textures set, I meant they might be confusing things when you don't know they exist.

Yes, I know that and I duplicated the nif, too, because I don't wanted to make a replacer. The strange thing is that the top of the same nif file accept my new texture but not the skirt. It stays dirty brown. I copied the wenchdress, too, and did the same and the textures are showing up without issues. Sorry for my incompetent thoughts, I never tried to retexture anything before.

 

Thanks for your patience.

So some .NIF files have more than one node. Changing the texture path in one node might not change the path in the other. Make sure the path is changed for each node.

 

The easier option is using a texture set, of course. There should be some good tutorials for this online.

Yes, I'm pretty good in finding all the nodes :yes: but using a texture set sounds like a good solution. But I would really like to understand why that happens. If I want to make more stuff someday the knowledge will surely be helpful. Thank you for answering.
