KnightRangersGuild Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm looking for Masser and Sacunda planet and moons in the CK and can't find them anywhere, can someone please tell me what they are called in CK or where to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrivener07 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I think the moons are just textures you can find packed in the textures.bsa. Use bsaOpt to extract them. They might also show up if you press 6 or 7 in the CK. One of those enables the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there has to be meshes for them because I know where to find them in the files data folder, but thank you very much for your help I will try the 6 and 7 thing now.

I replaced Masser with a water world in my game...I think there was something like six textures I had to make for the various phases of the moon. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z215/Jennifur68/Masser.jpg Edited December 10, 2012 by Jennifur68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrivener07 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 That is beautiful. :thumbsup: Textures dont always need a mesh if its displayed as an image anyway.. unless you want to stand on the moon or shoot arrows at it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifur68 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) Thankies Scrivener...I'm really happy with how it turned out. ^^ KnightRangersGuild, I did some digging around in the Skyrim sky meshes I had unpacked to from the .bsa and found what appears to be Masser's mesh named da05bloodmoon.nif its in the Meshes\Sky folder. Here's a screenshot of it in NifSkope...maybe if you open it in NifSkope you can find a clue to locating it in the Creation Kit. I searched for moon, bloodmoon, da05bloodmoon, da05 and a few other things in the Creation Kit but nothing jumped out as the moons to me. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z215/Jennifur68/Bloodmoon2.jpg Edited December 10, 2012 by Jennifur68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightRangersGuild Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yea I've looked at the nif and couldn't find any hint on what it's called in CK, all I want to do is add the "Null Texture Set" to the planet but keep the moon so it looks more like being on Earth. The "Null Texture set" will just make the planet transparent. But thank you for all your help. Still trying to find it in CK so if anyone knows please enlighten me.

So if I understand correctly...you want to get rid of Masser and just leave the smaller moon Secunda? If thats the case that should be pretty easy to do with just a texture replacement. You could just open the masser_new.dds texture which is nothing more than a 8x8 pixel square and change its alpha to black making which should make it transparent in Skyrim, then save it as all the masser texture names and drop those into your Skyrim/Data/Textures/Sky folder. When you start Skyrim Masser should be gone. I'd back up the original Masser textures in the unpacked texture folder first in case you ever decide to mod the moon again.

Scrivener07 is correct in that the actual moon stuff is just a series of textures shown in different phases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
