SSE SmallImperialtent.nif No texture in CK, grey texture ingame.

[Vorgra]

I am trying to fix an issue with a missing texture in my game for the Small imperial tents, the CK shows no texture being applied.

 

I tried selecting alternate textures in the Model data folder but I can't find the original tent texture from the small selection.

 

I must express this is the first time I have even used CK so please pardon my lack of basic knowledge.

 

Take note of the mods in the MO2, even with those installed I get no texture, the tents had no texture prior to installing the texture mod, and still have no texture, which makes me think there are no textures at all attached to the .nif, I am going to install nifskope and see if I can learn anything there however I have chosen to start this thread incase someone can see what I am doing wrong or has advice of fixing the issue.

Certainly looks like missing textures. Trying to select alternate textures only shows you texture sets, I think. it's not a list of all textures in the game. You're going along the right lines looking at it in Nifskope. First of all you'll want to use a program like Bethesda Archive Extractor and extract all the Skyrim texture and mesh BSAs to a new folder.

 

This way you can find and open the tent nif and also check the vanilla textures are there . You'll need to set up Nifskope under Options, Settings, Resources to tell it where the game's data folder is and where the texture BSAs are in order for it to show vanilla textures.

 

Once the nif is open, scroll down to any entry that is a BBShaderTextureSet. Expand that and then expand 'Textures'. Here you'll see the paths to the textures.

 

The textures the vanilla tent uses are:

 

textures\architecture\tents\SmallImperialTent.dds and textures\architecture\tents\SmallImperialTent_n.dds

 

BTW, the tent is fine in my CK and I just opened it in Nifskope to get those texture paths. It renders fine in Nifskope, too.
