rawrn00b Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 So I figured out how to get the armor in the game and I got this far (armor in game, textures showing) For some reason the armor just floats in one spot and doesn't move with my character. I rigged it to the skeleton in 3dsmax ( a very basic rig that I would need to redo later) but no matter how many times I export and put in game the armor just floats. Am I overlooking something incredibly simple here? Also my normal maps don't show in the game, which is a big deal for me because I specifically sculpted a high res model in ZBrush for this armor and baked the normals, so they are key to some of the detail on my armor. Basically I need help getting the rig to work properly and getting the normal maps to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart98Rock Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Something almost the same happened to me a couple hours ago, my helmet wouldn't move right with my character. Just stayed where the skeleton would be if my character stood straight, when I moved the helmet was to the side of my character. I found out the reason it did this was a shader flag in NifSkope, SLSF_2 Skinned, wasn't checked. Hope that fixes your problem. Bout the maps, I still not even sure what they are, I will start working with all that beginning of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosu Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Jeah, in 99% of all cases it's _Skinned in BSLightingShaderProperties ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawrn00b Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks so much both of you :D I gave a Kudos to both of you. I am going to look over the nif of a model in the game to see if my mine is missing something about the normal maps. Than I will re rig them and release my mod :D. If anyone is curious/cares heres what the armor looks like http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/Sargentcrunchy/screenshot0.jpg I am still going to make an alpha map to make the fur around the waist look more like fur and less like a plane haha.

rawrn00b Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sorry for the double post, for some reason the armor is kind of see through black-ish on a lot of it, heres some pictures so you know what I mean. http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/Sargentcrunchy/Screenshot3377.png http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/Sargentcrunchy/Screenshot2894.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart98Rock Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 To me that kind of looks looks like clipping, but if there is transparency check the shader flags again in NifSkope. Should be shader flag one in - LightingShaderPropertys - and uncheck the decals. On the helmet I was working on the decal flags made it completely transparent.

rawrn00b Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) The decal flag isn't flagged, I tried double sided and that didn't fix it either, the model in nifskope also looks like it does in game. http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/Sargentcrunchy/armorseethru.jpg EDIT: Heres the model in nifskope, I don't know if it matters but the parts that are see through like that don't have back faces, what I mean is I didn't close the faces off where you can't see them, as I am trying to make the model as low poly and I didn't want to waste faces where you can't even see them.

Dart98Rock Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I don't know if it will pretain to your problem, but for my helmet (originally vanilla hair mesh) I don't use Remappable Textures/ Vertex Colors flags. Have you checked the mesh without textures to see if it does the same. If it only happens to the areas without the back faces, I would add them and see if it fixes it if not then delete em.

rawrn00b Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks for the help, but its still see through :( Do you think it could be a rigging problem? I just copied weights from an existing mesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart98Rock Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Possibly, if the weights are from a prexisting armor the shape and everything would probably be off. You could try painting the weights on the areas there see-threw. Also check your textures, make sure the alpha channel ain't causing them to be transparent. I forgot all about the alpha channel till now. O just to add it just in case, for the alpha channel, White - vissable, Black completely transparent. So silver/gray is semi transparent. (I am not the best speller, been speaking bad English for 21 years, still ain't no better.) Edited December 11, 2012 by Dart98Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
