yetibear Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hi all, Hope someone can help. I'm in the process of making a player house with a lot of custom items, storage and clutter. The mod it's self is coming on great but all of my custom items except armour and weapons are just showing in the CK and game as solid black. Won't show the texture at all but the mesh is there. I've tried everything I can think off Created meshes in Cinema 4D Textures in Mudbox Maps in Photoshop Normal map (n.dds) Specular map (m.dds) map (.dds) Please can someone tell me what i'm getting wrong. I'm going out of my mind with this, especially as my dumb luck probably means its something rediculously simple that i'm overlooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocklymon Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Just a thought, but check the paths to the textures in the mesh files, they might just be pointing to the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetibear Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Thanks, just tried it according to Nifscope they are there, but when I load my mod in CK it said textures are missing. an example of my texture files would be as follows Skyrim Data Textures Yetis dwarves Ore crate (.dds , n.dds , ) I belive this is the right way but i'm also verry new to making my own custom items, in Oblivion and morrowind I used modding resorces. This is a first venture for me, so please correct me if i'm doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocklymon Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Just a thought, but maybe try redoing all the meshes and texture folders so there are no spaces in the folder names. I've noticed that there are no spaces in the texture folders for all the mods that I have. It might not fix it, but it is a thought. I can't tell if you have it this way but the normal and specular maps should be _n.dds and _m.dds, respectively. (Like this: texture.dds and texture_n.dds) Edited July 29, 2012 by chocklymon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell if you have it this way but the normal and specular maps should be _n.dds and _m.dds, respectively. (Like this: texture.dds and texture_n.dds) No spaces in any file names and have all 3 maps, (.dds, _n.dds, _m.dds,) tried starting from scratch with the item as well double checking their files and texture links in nif scope but its still just coming up all black texture. The only thing I'm realy curious about now is that if a mesh in game can't find a texture the item is a kind of lilack coulour, my items arn't so i'm assuming they are there they just arn't showing, or is this assumption wrong.

RustyShackleford90 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I have been having this problem as well with custom armor. I made sure the texture paths are correct in nifskope but it still doesnt work. As for the file names I dont use spaces in file names anyway so no need to change that. Also im using vanilla normal and specular maps for the moment so i didnt need to change those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
