Help with texture editing

Post » Mon Jun 03, 2013 11:01 am

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, if so then tell me, I've tried the Nexus Forums but this place might be more populated.

Hello, I'm trying to make a re-texture of the NCR Ranger armor(doesn't replace the original one)

What I mean, as I'll make it a separate ID(Also won't be Faction dependent) with the GECK.

And I have a question.

When I want to edit the texture file(combatranger.dds) so it would suit my needs, do I need to also edit the following files so it would work?

the following files.

  • combatranger_m.dds
  • combatranger_n.dds

So it would work with the edited texture? Now, thi sis my first re-texture mod that I want to work on, so I'm pretty much new to the whole modding scene and such.

If I do need to edit them, how do I edit them?

Thanks for question.

I'll upload 2 screenshots of the files

I'm using Paint.NET for editing, as it has native .dds support.

Thanks for the help.

You'll be credited in the mod credits for helping!

p.s I'm sorry if this isn't the right place, or if there is any grammar/spelling mistakes in the above sentences.
