Wrong skin shows up

[The Reef]

Im making brain coral from the OCT, and everything works except the right skin doesnt show up. The origanel small rock scrub skin shows up and not mine... In the lang file, should I use the file it already gives me or use the small scub rocks lang file? If so, should I do the same with the ui folder? Or is there something else wrong?

You need to copy the Materials files, edit the bfb file with WinHex and change the name of the Material files and make sure the file names match up

[The Reef]

Where exactly can I find the material files?

[mikaboshi]

They are in the same area as the dds files, etc - its a folder called Materials

[The Reef]

Huh? The only other folder in the Scrub rocks folder is a folder named "low". Can you please give me the exact location? (etc - cheese/milk/turtles/materials)

[penguinman]

In that case did you edit the nif correctly?

[The Reef]

^ What do I need to edit in that? Its so confusing with all the random letters everywhere.
Anyway, I found the material files in X100_000. Do I just re-name the file in material to my codename? And, what do I need to edit in the .bfb file? Do I rename this file to?

[mikaboshi]

Please refer to the Common Problems guide to see how to edit a NIF

Ok, I renamed the Rock_Scrub.dds to my coralbrain.dds in the .nif, then saved. Im testing now and I will edit post to tell you if it works or not!

EDIT: IT WORKS!!!! YAY!!! Thank you Penguika! I should have pics after I start my projects thread. (Tommorrow)

Ok, new question - How do you make varients for rocks?

[mikaboshi]

You can't. They aren't programmed to have variants, thus, you can't make them.

Well, My brain coral doesnt go to the right zoopedia, instead it goes to The grassland rocks zoopedia. Help?
