Ok, so I have my .dds maps Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page
I thought it was better to continue the discussion here about texturing my object.

So I have my .dds maps. How do apply them to the object? It's in .obj format so I assume it is needed as a .nif, how do I do that?

Thanks for the help people.

I've typed it many times, and it never gave me any errors. Anyway I'm going to have breakfast now so could you check out the PR thread on the main page and help me gather up all our concepts/images/renders.

I will get back to this when I'm finished.

You can unpack them with the BSA Commander or the Oblivion Mod Manager (OBM), try both.

That's strange. Try changing the folder to which the BSA is unpacked.

HA HA! I know the answer! I think that you didn't copy the main files (sound, textures, data, ect.) into were ever you are extracting to. OR the files have to be in the BSA directory that came with the program and you have to extract there...

I remember having that problem when my PC crashed and I wanted to start puting on mods again.

The BSA's are where they should be, but thank you for your input Lothar. And on some good news, I have gotten my first textured model in game. Will post a picture soon.

I'm wondering what I should do with the normal maps (_n)..? I think I should place them in the bump slot in my 3ds max.

Sorry I just decided to post this here thinking someone would have some kind of clue. =)

I think you place them with your texture and the object should read it automaticly. At least thats what I understood from Chrissloes description.

No idea, can you do it?

Well here they are, the screens of the club. Some things need to be changed, like where the player is holding it, the size. Oh and I also put speed up to 5, and that is hilarious. My guy looks like a ninja with a big ass bat.

Anyway, screens:

I was just joking Tongue Yeah I'm going to make it smaller and lower it in the players grip, so that he holds in correctly.

EDIT: You say small, but when I load it up in nifscope it was a spec againts the mace I pigubacked it on, I had to increaset he size substantionaly, just a tip for the future.

It was getting dark at the time of the shot, if you look at the close up one it's pretty light. It also has blood on it, a bit hard to see at my 600x800 res and all the setting turned down. Also I made some etchings in it to look like it was used a lot, hard to see at my settings but I'm hoping it will be appreciated.

ok I start up the program you browse for 2 files, first you must browse your .mesh, second you browse the .dds, then at the bottom is a button that says, "MERGE IT!" and thats it! very simple program!!!

edit:im a little out of it today, dont feel like working, free day for me today Tongue

edit#2: oh, and there is a button on the top thats used to extract a texture from a mesh.... whatever that means, btw I have no idea what these .mesh files and stuff are really used for, but I do know you know.


edit#3: well just download it and see its only 303kb: http://rapidshare.de/files/30606658/MotoGranPri2DDS.zip.html
