Simple question about Nifskope

[YanL]

Hello.

 

It is as follows, let's say I'm going to tick a texture of a block in nifskope 2.0. It returns me that value = "data\textures\zzzslavearmy\legionbase.dds"

 

Ok, I know that the right path would be "textures\zzzslavearmy\legionbase.dds" which gives me one more job, to click on the path and delete the "data\"

 

But I was thinking, it is problematic to leave the "data\"? Because this is a legal copy of the game and I belive ALL legal copy will install the textures in "data\textures"

 

Right? Or is there any possibility of this game pointing a different path to the textures?

 

thanks :)

It is my understanding (based upon instructions to correct "hard path" errors, and looking at the folder structure in the BSA files) that "Data" should not be part of the "relative path" in a mesh. All of the "assets" are assumed to be placed "under" the game "Data" folder (whatever it might be named), so that is not necessary and might be interpreted as indicating a "data" sub-folder under the game "Data" folder (which WILL cause the engine to ignore it).

 

It is an annoyance, but I believe you should clean up that path to be safe.

Got it. Equivalent to "data\data\textures\zzzslavearmy\legionbase.dds"

 

Shame. This would save me hours of work :sad:

 

Thanks :happy:
