Pink female raider body texture

[Deleted47580808User]

A few days ago I loaded my save and noticed that the body and hand textures of the female raiders are pink, knowing that this means that the textures for the female raider are missing I went into the New Vegas texture folder and the female raider subfolder supported what I already knew, the textures that where supposed to be in there are gone, so I had the bright idea of deleting the female raider file and restoring it by selecting the verify integrity of game files option to restore the folder with the missing textures within, the only problem though is by doing that it did not bring back the folder or the textures, so after using the archive invalidate (or whatever it is called) and uninstalling and reinstalling the game the problem still was not solved, so I don't know what to do now, can anyone please help?

The default textures for the game are stored in .bsa files. You likely have a mod that is supposed to have custom female raider skins and are missing those textures.

[Deleted47580808User]

Okay, so how do I restore both the textures and the file?

also, how do i put all the mods i have installed in the description?

Because "Texture/Mesh" replacement mods replace vanilla versions of those files, you absolutely have to toggle "ArchiveInvalidation (AI)" off-and-then-on again after installing or removing one of them so it recognizes that there are loose files (added by the mod) which have to be used in place of the vanilla files in the BSA files or are no longer there and the BSA files should be used instead. That failure to toggle is the most common reason behind most "texture problems". This is usually evidenced by red "!" icon for missing meshes, and solid colors for missing textures, or "messed up" textures. This "ArchiveInvalidation" mechanism is incorporated in all the currently used mod managers, so there is no need to (and problems arise if you do) install older mods to provide that capability. ONLY USE ONE METHOD of AI, especially if you have multiple mod managers installed. Otherwise they will conflict, as they use their own "arbitrarily chosen" names for the AI BSA files. (There is not a standardized name used among them all.) Please see the 'ArchiveInvalidation (by Manager)' section and also see the 'Checklist Item #15 & 16' entries in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

The only other reasons for mods to have these "missing element" error indications are that you failed to install all the necessary files (such as an ESM or BSA file), or they aren't in the correct location.

In the case of (for example) "Weapon Retexture Project" (WRP) v1.95, the package has a "non-standard" folder structure. (Not an uncommon mistake by mod authors, so learn from this.) The game (to include most mod managers like NMM, MO, and FOMM) is expecting the top level folder of an archive package to be standardized, folder names such as "Textures" or "Meshes", or ESM/ESP/BSA files. It assumes they are being placed under the game "Data" folder. This example package starts with a "RLS" folder, which the game does not recognize, and so it places that as the "top level" under "Data". (Sometimes this is the author's name or initials, other times it's the mod name and version, but anything unexpected is treated the same way: as a new folder or file.) Most likely when the files are "installed" but aren't found correctly, something similar to this is your problem. Unpack the mod archive (WRP in this instance) to some other location and then either rebuild the archive so the top level folders are "Textures" and "Meshes" (in other words, without the "RLS" folder from WRP at all), and then install with your mod manager, or manually drag those two folders into the game "Data" folder.

The text file under the WRP "RLS" folder is a documentation file. If you want to keep similar in the package, just place it in the top level along with the "Meshes" and "Textures" folders. Personally, I rename such to "<mod_name>_ReadMe.txt" so I know which package they came from. (Many authors act as if their mod's text file is the only one that might possibly exist in the same location or use the same common name (i.e. "Readme.txt").)

As for listing your "load order" of files, we recommend using "LOOT". Instructions on how to copy it's list for posting are in the "How to ask for help" article, and "Checklist Item #11' entry in the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" guide.

 

* See "How to markup images (etc) in forum posts and comments" article for how to use "Spoiler tags". LOOT already includes those tags in the "load order" it copies to your clipboard, so you can just paste it's list into your post.

Okay, thanks for the help, I'll update the main post to include the mods I have installed.

[dubiousintent]

"Verify files" is not going to restore mod installed files; only vanilla ones. As you say you "reinstalled the game", I'm assuming you re-installed the FCO mod and any other texture replacements as well. Then you have to toggle "ArchiveInvalidation". If you are still getting indications of missing mesh/texture files, you need to look for some missing files. You understand this I know from your original post, but now you need to spread your attention beyond just the FCO related folders. The "missing textures" may be related to meshes installed by a different mod but used by more than one. This is especially true for "replacement mods" that do not show up in the "load order", such as animations.

 

Re-installing the game has put you back to "square one". You now have to get back to the mods that had been installed at the time of your last save game, or start a new one. At the least I suggest you re-install mods one-by-one and test to see which cause problems.

 

Note that FCO is a "high resolution" texture replacement of characters and NPCs. These will place additional demands upon your video system. Not all older systems will be able to handle the challenge. The extensive FCO "comments" forum thread on the subject has the answers to pretty much every conceivable question not answered here. Use the forum search function on key words such as "pink".

 

Suggest you look over the 'Issue - Body Replacer -' entries under the 'Solutions to Graphics problems' section of the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" article, as well as search on "pink" for other entries.

 

I see some potentials for problems with that list of mods, but they are not directly related to your post subject. For them I suggest you read the 'Towards Game Stability', 'Common Game Problems', and 'Merge Patch File' sections of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article.

[Deleted47580808User]

Thank you, now the problem is fixed, the only thing i need to do now is find a way to find out what mod is absent from my current game that is on my save.

Normally when you load a save game with missing content it will inform that something is missing, but not "what". You then have a couple of options: 1) perform a "clean save" (see 'Clean Saves' section of the wiki "FNV General Mod Use Advice" article) in the hope you can continue on safely without it, 2) examine the ".log" files in the game root folder (where the "FalloutNV.exe" file is found) in the hope the attempt to load the missing mod was recorded, or 3) start a new game. (You can always choose the 3rd option at any time, so the others should be attempted first. It's a question of how much effort you want to put into proceeding from the current save with the possibility of corruption down the road.)

 

You might inquire on a forum specific to your mod manager of choice as to the possibility it has some sort of history file as to what you had previously in your load order. However, it likely got wiped out when you re-installed. I'm not aware of any way to determine the mod mix from a save game file, but it is not something I have researched either. Let me know if you do discover something.

Okay, thank you so much for the help, anyways i descovered that you can find out what mods you're misssing from a save if you click the actions option in the saved games menu in the vortex mod manager. (is that the correct terminologie, i'm not so sure.)

Edited March 2, 2019 by Guest

[dubiousintent]

That "terminology" is close enough I understand what you mean without actually looking at Vortex. Thanks for reporting back on that.

 

Now go enjoy the game. :thumbsup:
