Nifskope Alpha & Diffuse help

[babooncru]

Hello all,

I have been around everywhere, and studied what I can, but cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.

Please could someone help me with this:

 

I am making an alternative texture for the barkeeper's outfit, and have succesfully created the texture map & normal map. The texture map has an alpha channel (from PS). This particular texture map alphas out the neck strap. It all works fine when applying a NiAlpha property, but in-game, the outfit although correctly blocks out the neck strap, the mesh is dull & dark, when it should be light, from the environment.

 

I don't know what the solution is, please someone help.
