dogmeat texture dds incomplete? help )-:

[global33]

hi! ive never modded before but im trying to learn how to retexture dogmeat.

 

my problem is this: i used bae to extract the dogmeat texture dds files but when i open them, theyre incomplete, like this:

 

(this is a screenshot in sai from when i tried converting them to psd - but the same thing happens in photoshop and with dds in gimp)

 

the weirdest thing is that when i view the psd (same files just converted to psd) thumbnails in sai, they look like this:

 

 

but when i open them it looks like its missing a bunch of parts or layers :/

 

when i opened it in gimp as a dds i was excited bc i saw it layers but they were just the same thing in smaller sizes

 

any help is greatly appreciated!!!

someone on youtube suggested this:

 

"Hey! Try downloading a different BSA Browser, the one in this video is possibly outdated(?) Try this one https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17061 A work around, while not great is you could download a dog meat re-texture and use those dds files instead. If the dogmeat re-texture files you download from the Nexus still look weird then it's probably the program you're trying to open them in.

unfortunately neither solution worked )-:

Hi,

 

you probably solved, but I had the same issue.

 

Using Gimp and the dds plugin.

I soved the problem with few steps:

 

- convert the .dds files into .jpg (I used DDS Converter)

- from .jpg to .png using Gimp (or Photoshop) (if you convert directly from .dds to .png still incomplete otherwise)

- removed the black background, add the tranparency and that's all

 

You can now edit the complete texture.
