i've been working on an overhaul of the UI here and there off and on... so far i've remastered the weapons, karma, special, reputations, mood, and the message icons. everything shows up fine so far, all except for the message icons? they still show the vaultboy face when getting a note, after eating, in pain, a screenshot, or whatever... this anomaly has hindered my progression through the rest of the interface!

...anyone ever successfully modify the message icons yet?


during my downtime from the UI, i've also been working on a retex. looks fine in nifskope, but in game it's obvious my normal map is too bright! especially when the sun hits it directly... sunburn nearly washes everything out! the alpha channel seems unresponsive no matter what i do. i dunno, it's possible i'm being hyper critical... but i doubt it.

i'm using Nvidia photoshop plugin + directX texture tool.

I use a mod that changes these. They're located in textures\interface\interfaceshared0.dds,

achievement unlocked! here's a http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/Images/30770 of my retex...

i extracted the interfaceshared0.dds from textures2.bsa, this image is a genuine http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1A7fnCR3_5Y/T5WbvFi_QHI/AAAAAAAAAmg/-HPBrs7Se1I/s1600/Disgusted+Oh+God+Why.png. i've seen images like this on the nexus when i was searching for icon mods, but i thought they were just a compilation to show you the body of work, not actually the image used by the game... so, what are the http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/001/582/picard-facepalm.jpg for? a console? i don't want to get ahead of myself and end up doing ps3, xbox, and wii fit versions. is it safe to assume the folders marked with "_small" are for console too?
