Hello.

I am trying to create some custom armor for fallout new Vegas, and I am having a strange issue with the skin part of the player.

The clothes I created seem to work just fine. And when I am just walking around outside, the upper body skin looks good, and it matches the head and hands.

However, if i go indoors (ex: the docs house, good springs general store) the texture for the upper body will turn completely white. It still has shading and it looks like it still has a bump map too. The texture turns all white, though.

If I am outside, all is well, until I get shot. I never see the blood appear on my skin. The upper body portion just turns white for a few seconds.

I tried it with a pale skinned and a dark skinned character, and it turns completely white in either case.


FYI, I modified the skin mesh in blender, by importing another working .nif file. I then exported it as a nif. I copied the pieces (branches) from the exported nif into another working nif file to replace the needed parts (pants, shirt, torso). I set the textures and lighting using nifskope.

I used basically the same process for the clothes as I did for the skin, so I am not sure why the skin doesn't work correctly but the clothes are fine.

I tried exporting from blender with the same settings as the clothes, and i tried using the special skin setting.

I ended up the the same issue regardless.

Using nifskope, I set the render flags to the same settings as a working nif (I think) so I am feeling stumped.

I set the facegen flag, so the armor looks correct for either black/white/asian/hispanic characters except for when it turns completely white.

The hands and head don't have this issue because I didn't need to modify them. (They are straight from a working nif and never passed through blender).
