Need Everything To Skin

[DeltaDog]

I got fallout 3 and I'm loving it.

I used to do skins for other games like HL2 and well i wanna get into the Fallout 3 Modding Scene

So if someone can tell me exactly what i need to make a skin and full implement it into the game

Image Software

Extractors

Compilers

Etc.

 

Thanks so much i hope to make some great skins for you guys Thanks.

You'll need:

 

*ScripterRon's BSA unpacker

Unpack "Fallout - Textures.bsa"

* Nvidia photoshop plugins/dds tools/texture tools

Open textures in..

* Photoshop

Do your skinning, save as DDS. DXT1 mostly works, but if you need alpha you might need to save as targa then open that file and save as DXT5 DDS.

* Notepad

Create archiveinvalidation.txt in the game root, specifying paths in the bsa to override with unpacked content.

Also, change the value "bInvalidateOldFiles" in FALLOUT.INI and falloutPrefs.ini from 0 to 1.

 

Good luck, hope to see some cool texture mods from you! :)
