New weapon/texture woes

[lostinmymind]

New problem.

 

I'm making the rifle in nifskope-everything's fine, everything's working.. Apart from one problem: for the life of me I can't assign a texture to the rifle clip. It uses a separate texture by default-huntingrifleclip.nif. When I assign a texture for it, save, launch fallout, the game crashes on load.

 

When I save/reload the .nif, I get the following error:

""device position incorrect after block number 38 (BSShaderTextureSet) at 289793 ended at 289828 expected 289821""

 

It doesn't matter what texture I assign, The stuff is just not working. Any clue on how to get it to display properly?

 

EDIT: Also, when I go into the part's BSShaderTextureSet, the tex path isn't there, instead showing up <string too long>

 

 

EDIT: New fun! when I try to load the .nif in GECK, I get the following:

 

ASSERTION

 

Assert

 

File: c\projects\fallout3pc\gamebryo2.2\corelibs\nimain\NiTArray.inl

 

Line:144

 

 

What in the hell does this mean? I do not have a projects folder, nore do I have gamebryo2.2 corelibs (whatever those are)

 

Any clue on what is going on?

 

 

For reference, I am using the latest nifskope and blender export strips...

the texture problem is caused by the .nif exporter.

 

assign a material/texture to you're clip before you export from belender, that should generate the needed/correct strip for assigning in Nifskope. atleast, i have this problem exporting from 3dsmax quite often.

then, manually choose you're texture under the "BSshaderLightingPropertiesBB" block in nifskope, the option will appear at the on the bottom menu. you'll probly need to copy the texture location and paste it over the origonal one there. if this doesnt make enough sense, PM me or reply here and ill set up some screenies step by step

Deliverance, you are a god.

 

My problem fixed itself quite easily though: it seems that under textures, you can't select the "choose texture" option-gotta input it manually. Did that and everything works like a charm :)

 

WTB fully-working set of tools for FO3. The amount of rants I have as far as engine problems/modability is pretty much infinite.

lol indeed.

 

it'd be nice to get our ahnds on some Developer quality tools instead of the opensource stuff we have now... still atleast things work eventually ^^
