Strange graphics glitch.

Post » Fri Mar 14, 2014 11:26 am

Okay. So I made a mod that changes Skyrims coin system. Basically I changed the default gold coins (gold001) name and texture to copper, and then added in silver and gold coins. (You can find the mod here http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51871/? )

But I got a strange glitch report from someone who downloaded my mod. The Copper coin has a bunch of what looks like black lines running through it but the other coins don't.

Here is what he sees in game.

And here is what he sees in the creation kit.

Another person also reported getting the same glitch but he says it started happening when he lowered the texture qualities from high to medium

Any ideas what's going on? I've never seen a glitch like that before.

Did you do any sort of compression on the textures? Might try a lighter compression, or none at all.

I didn't make the textures. They were a mod resource that I used. So I don't know if anything was done to them.

Might consider making your own then. Looks like a simple recolor of the vanilla texture.

i think reducing the texture resolution this low will force the first Mipmap level to load. maybe this mod has broken mipmaps on that texture?

@Echonite: The reason I used them is that they have a different symbol on the back of the coins.

This is where I downloaded the textures. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/45063/?

@Gruftlord: How would I be able to tell if the mipmaps are broken? And how could I go about fixing them?

Not that I know of. I just used them as is. Could it be that when I made the zip file it messed some things up?
