My Custom made mod wont load my DDS files!

So I made a mod using the sword claymore from the anime show claymore. But is seems that i cant get the textures to load on my sword. It loads perfictially well when i manuly add the layers on mudbox. But when i launch skyrim it just pops up as a Weapon. I Seem to have all the correct texture paths set to the correct places. I think it is my ESP that is causing the problems.

 

If anyone could fix this i would love you <3. In the esp just search Claymore and the search and you will find all the stuff made by me, please correct if necessary. Or just tell me what to do.

You have a few problems going on, these are things you'll need to fix.

 

 

The path to your textures is different in the download than it appears in Nifskope...

 

In NifSkope its:

Data\Textures\Weapons\Claymore\Claymore.dds

 

In the download folder its:

Data\Weapons\Claymore\Claymore.dds

 

 

In Nifskope the entire handle has its normals flipped and they're flipped in 3DS Max as well. If you look closely in your screenshot you'll see the normals are flipped for you too.

When I look at the UVW map in 3DS Max its all compressed into a single point in the upper left corner, it also exports from Nifskope exactly the same...you may want to check your UVW mapping.

This one pixel white speck is your entire UVW unwrap:

In Photoshop the texture looks ok except for some strange gray "blobs" on the upper right hand side, but I suspect you knew about those and ignored them.

 

 

Your normal map looks odd to me with the medium blue and black...I'm used to seeing them like the one I generated from your specular map on the right. Maybe thats the way Mudbox does them? I never worked in Mudbox so I don't know.
