MLTriforce Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hey thanks for taking a moment to check out my trouble shooting question. I'm trying to make a ring, completely new mesh and texture. For 3D modeling I used Wings 3D (I don't think this should be a problem, but I'm not 100% sure), made the UV map with Wings 3D, Textured with Gimp (+the plug-ins [bluh bluh texturing isn't the problem]) and I exported as an .obj and triangulated it. Imports into NifSkope without an error message popping up. I'm using NifSkope version 1.1.0 rc4. I open the gold ring .nif, import the .obj, add the new NiTriShape to the original NiNode, change the NiTriShapeData's Num UV Sets to 4097, change Has Normals to Yes, add the gold ring's BSLightingShaderProperty to my NiTriShape, delete the Property that was kicked out from my NiNodeShape, change BSShaderTextureSet to my ring's textures and the textures show up, so far so good. Now when I add BSDismemberSkinInstance to my Ring's NiTriShape the ring literally disappears, all but a tiny part, which is textured correctly. I figured that was just a glitch in NifSkope and said whatever, moved my ring to fit where the other one is, Deleted the original gold ring, update tangent space, change collision detection to continue, and I believe that's it. Saved to desktop, copy pasted into the data\mesh...etc directory, along with the other .nif required for what it looks like in the world and inventory. (like goldringgo.nif) I set it all up in creation kit, drop it in the world, save, coc there, pick it up after seeing it lay gloriously in it's spot, view it gloriously in my inventory, equip it, bring out my fists/magic and BAM just as I had feared, the equipped model doesn't work, all of it is gone except for a black textured version of that small piece that was all I could see in NifSkope. I know that deleting NiSkinData under BSDismemberSkinInstance makes the ring visible in NifSkope, but trying to bring that into the creation kit causes CK to crash. So I think I've figured troubleshooting should focus around a few things: my NiTriShape, the NiSkinData and I guess whatever you guys can come up with if you have a better idea. Please advise.

MLTriforce Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ohh, this place isn't too fast paced is it. A lot of problems, not many people helping. Hopefully someone knows something about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLTriforce Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well I'm gonna bump this a few more times before giving up here. I can upload my .nif file if anyone wants to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
