Flashing textures and naked characters

[jtrdk]

Hi,

 

I've recently re-installed and modded New Vegas (basically I followed sinitars guide with a few changes).

Runs almost perfectly fine, stable and looks quite good.

 

But I've run two minor annoyances:

One traveling merchant (that I know of) has a rapidly changing texture on his Armor. I installed a new Leather Armor texture after this, but it didn't fix it.

 

 

The other one: Two people in Caesars tent are acutally naked. I have no idea, why. The other guy sits in the back of the tent.

 

It's nothing major, but fixing this would be nice.

The problem is that you followed Sinitar's guide. His guides are well known for being buggy messes - a quick Google search will quickly give you an indication of how his guides are viewed by the community. It's likely that the issues you are experiencing are merely the tip of the iceberg.

[jtrdk]

Well, okay.

But how do I fix these two minor problems, without completely re-installing and modding my game (again)?

I don't know.

 

You could use Wabbajack to auto-install a conflict-resolved modlist like Viva New Vegas because it's likely that the issues you are experiencing with Sinitar's modlist are just the start.....

In the past with other Bethesda games this was caused by two (or more) BSA files containing different textures with the same file name. The game engine was not able to determine which was supposed to be used, so it would randomly grab it from any of the BSAs files on an unpredicatable basis. I imagine this is still the case but haven't seen an instance here before. Please see the 'Issue: Find the source mod-index of an object in-game' entry under the "Graphics" section of the wiki "Fallout NV Mod Conflict Troubleshooting" article when you find an instance of a switching texture. You may need to retry a couple of times until you can identify the source of each texture.

 

The naked legionnaires are because the "garb" they are wearing is not compatible with the underlying body mod. Please see the 'Issue: Body Replacer - Custom Body Types' and related 'Body Replacer -' entries to understand the basic problem.

The naked NPCs are caused by not having the armor mods installed correctly, not a mismatch with a body replacer. The armor has its own body and just relies on the installed texture files.

Do you really need two FCO files?

You are also trying to run multiple body and face mods. This doesn't work. You cannot use more than one mod that changes the same thing.

There is no mention of using the 4GB patch along with the texture replacers. This is something that is required by NMC and Ojo Bueno.

 

Your mod manager should have Archive Invalidation built in, making the additional Archive Invalidation file you have active cancel the each other. Also, if the game is installed in "Program Files" any mods that change any files installed there will not work. The Windows User Account Control prevents any changes to be made to any file installed in "Program Files" Also, if you game files are set to "Read Only", they cannot be changed.

[dubiousintent]

In general you are correct about armor mods. However, some body replacers require their own "garb" mods because their mesh geometries / UV maps are not close enough to that of the vanilla bodies for the texture to bind correctly. In which instance the underlying body gets displayed instead because they are then "unclothed". This is a different issue from the more common misconceptions about garb that displays "skin" (e.g. short sleeves with bare arms) to which you are referring.

I would use the inv command on the naked NPC to see if what he's supposed to wearing is in his inventory, I would expect an issue with assets to show a red triangle, messed up textures, a pink texture or an invisible body, not what's in that image.
