LiLKing Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 mkay, now i have been retexturing things for about a year in oblivion. never anything too crazy mostly just recoloring the vanilla textures. ive also done some with skyrim but the dwarven greatsword for some reason gives me the strangest problem. i want to make the sword black to look more like an ebony sword with dwarven style. but even if i turn the image pitch black all it does is look like a dark bronze sword. whats even weirder is i can make the sword red, blue, pink, even rainbow but when i make the image dark it just goes to a slightly darker bronze. now when i do this with any other kind of weapon i dont have the issue which makes me think its a problem with dwarven weapons or theres somthing in the texture or mesh that im missing. im using gimp and Texture Replacer to mod the files, i doubt there the issue but ive been at this for days now so ill listen to any advice i get. please if anyone knows why this is happening let me know cuz im REALLY determined to make this sword for this mod im making.

LiLKing Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 well i fixed my own issue, thanx to me and only me... anyway should any other modder come across this and have the same issue, I suggest using nifskope to change the textures. turns out there was a hidden texture for the mesh that TR wasnt detecting, Bronze_e.dds, so i swapped it with the steal greatswords Shineydull_e.dds and the bronze tint went away! plus nifskope is a really nifty program.
