Missing "Laser Pistol Image"/ Gun image within the Pip Boy

[UltraSwede]

Does anyone know how to restore this weapon's image back to it's original format image? It was probably a mod that changed it to be a "Missing Image" image. Anyways, please help! lol

UltraSwede - Hello!

 

The original pipboy laser pistol pipboy texture will be packed in the Fallout - Textures.bsa & the game should default to that unless you have a plugin pointing to a new texture for it.

 

If you installed a mod that changed the icon for that weapon & it added a new one, it may not be showing up if you're not using a form of archive invalidation.

 

Simple solution to that is:

 

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated

Or, if you use FOMM click on Toggle Invalidation on the right.

 

For "New" FOMM you have to go to the buttons at the top & select:

 

Tools - Archive Invalidation

 

NMM has a built in Archive Invalidation too.

 

DON'T USE BOTH METHODS TOGETHER.

 

Note FOMM/NMM's version often needs to be toggled off & then back on again when you add in a new mod.

 

If that does not fix it & you do have a mod changing the laser pistol in some way, make sure you have installed the textures for said mod properly.

 

Any new texture changing the original could be in:

 

Fallout 3\Data\Textures\interface\icons\pipboyimages\weapons

 

The original is called:

 

weapons_laser_pistol.dds

 

But a replacment might be named something else & even filed differently..

 

If none of the above helps, track down the plugin that is changing the laser pistol.

 

If you can use FO3Edit, look up the laser pistol to see what mods are making changes.

 

If you don't know how to use that yet, a simple way to check would be to turn off your mods one at a time, checking in game between each to see if the laser pistol icon returns to normal. That way you can find the culprit.

 

Hope this helps!
