LE Missing Meshes

[David Brasher]

In Oblivion it seems like I was always seeing missing meshes everywhere. Those big yellow diamonds with black exclamation marks. I kind of miss seeing them. I don't know if Skyrim supports this, because missing meshes seem to be invisible, but would there be a way to make the Skyrim missing meshes look like the Oblivion ones?

I saw a big red thing with a white exclamation mark once in skyrim in lieu of an armor I was editing. So it seems to exist.

Cool! Maybe I have been lucky so far with Skyrim. Maybe I have just had a ton of missing textures that are invisible but no missing meshes. I have seen the big red symbol in the CK many times. The CK can't read anything that is in a custom .bsa, and modders are told to put things in .bsas, so in the CK there are usually lots of exclamation points.

Missing textures make the meshes look purple, not invisible.

[David Brasher]

So if missing textures make things look purple, then what is happening when things look white, or more often, when they are invisible?

Lots of things can happen with meshes and textures in Skyrim. It's a little odd. You can have things ranging from white, purple, etc. for missing textures. Most of the time you get invisibility from a missing mesh. I suppose if you own a copy of Oblivion, you could always rip the exclamation out of it's BSA or something and put it into Skyrim as a mod.
