Hey

Ok i have created a mesh and have added textures to it.

Ok so i load up the game and go to where it is and say i shoot it, it makes the texture that actual projectile dds texture.

So i drop a vault 101 jump suite and it display's the dds textures for the jumpsuite?

Whats wrong?

Have i mapped it wrong?

Thanks Persidon

That usually is a sign that the texture was not created correctly.
What DXT did you save it as, and how many Mip Maps did you give it. 4 mip-maps is a good default value.

Im using gimp, i used DXT How to i find how many mip maps it has?

Its part of the save information in Photoshop. There is a check box for using Mip-maps, and a box so you can enter a number that you want.

If this was a texture set, this happens when the game cannot find the texture in the correct game folder.
If its on a mesh, the texture must exist inside the proper Textures folder.

Well, my problem is still there, even though its the actual bethesda dds's Any ideas

Thanks Persidon

Read post #4, second paragraph.
Ask if you don't understand it.

You need to give more information on what you did and where your NIF and DDS files are.

Ok, this topic is like dead but ive followed artistens video tutorial and even though i followed correctly, but its still doing it. i cannot find how to enter a dxt 5 or dxt 3 but cannot find out how to enter a mip map value. please help as i cannot add the correct textures. Thanks Persidon

If you are using GIMP and you are ready to save your texture, you should be selecting File --> Save As. Then a save window should pop up, near the bottom is a line that looks like this:
'+ Select File Type'

Hit the '+' and click on dds, then when you hit the save button you should get another window that lets you choose the compression type from a drop down box and there is a check box here as well that, if checked, will generate mipmaps. If you don't see this, then perhaps you have not installed the dds pluggin for GIMP.

all the dds are working. but my question is that when i load the game the textues on tge mesh are textures from the surroundings. my dxt is dxt3 or dxt5 with mipmaps.

Do you have archive Invalidation Invalidated installed or did you toggle invalidation with FOMM?

ok thanks that fixed it
