Type 3 Texture Problem

[LunaxTec]

Ok,i decided to get DIMON Type 3 body replacer so i could use some of the outfits available for download.

 

However,when i went in game the textures looked blocky and they had underwear on (though it looked wrong too).

 

Ive tried installing it with the FOMM guide and every other way,but still it ends the same.

 

Yes,i have archhive invalidated so please dont tell me that.'

 

Can anyone please help me,because i dont know what else to do.

LunaxTec - Hello!

 

This is often called the "Brown panty bug". :)

 

It happens when vanilla textures are applied to the Type 3 mesh, it's almost always caused by not taking care of archive invalidation.

 

Failure to take care of archive invalidation will prevent the new textures from showing up properly. I know you said you've taken care of it but take note of my "toggled off & then back on again" comment below.

 

To fix it, either download & activate:

 

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated

 

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=944

 

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 you still have messed up textures after that, make sure the:

 

femaleupperbody.nif

 

...that you choose from TYPE3_BODY_V3dot5-4280 (either CALI, BASE, BERRY, etc) is in your:

 

Fallout 3 - Data - Meshes - Characters - _male

 

Make sure all the Textures .dds files from TYPE3_V2_TEXTURE_pack-4280 - TYPE3 V2 TEXTURE;

 

handfemale.dds

handfemale_1st.dds

handfemale_1st_n.dds

handfemale_1st_sk.dds

handfemale_n.dds

handfemale_sk.dds

upperbodyfemale.dds

upperbodyfemale_n.dds

upperbodyfemale_sk.dds

 

Have ended up in your:

 

Fallout 3 - Data - Textures - Characters - Female

 

If you selected anything from the Options&Customization - STYLES for V2 TEXTURESTYLES then it MUST be renamed to upperbodyfemale.

 

Example:

 

upperbodyfemaleNOTRIM

 

Changes to:

 

upperbodyfemale

 

If it's left with the extra bit on the end it will be ignored by the game.

 

If your female character & normal NPC's are fine but Raider females have the "Brown Panty" look then it's because you've not sorted out the female Raider textures. They use a seperate one to other females.

 

You can either use Type 3 standard female textures or use these ones which are more like the orginal grubby look:

 

http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11711

 

Those textures will go in your:

 

Fallout 3 - Data - Textures - characters - raiderfemale

 

If it's not all but just some of your Raider Females & you use MMM, you need a Type 3 Raider Patch for MMM's added female raiders. The link for Female Raiders above has those too.

 

Hope this helps!

Id like to say thank you,this actually did help.

 

Turns out it was because i was turning archive invalidation on before installing.I didnt realize it had to be turned back off then on again.

 

Thanks again :)
