Problem with my custom sign

[Evandar]

I retextured a sign, edited the .nif file in Nifskope so it uses my texture, but in game, the sign falls to the ground...

Like this:

Anyone know why this is happening? I didn't touch anything except the texture...

Can you upload your mesh and texture to 4shared or Mediafire and link us so we can take a look?  

[Evandar]

Yeah, here: http://www.mediafire.com/?oxmxmy2tyty

Looks like you deleted a branch of the sign by mistake. I've fixed the model, but, you will have to add it to your data folder and reapply the texture to set the texture path.

Download here: http://www.4shared.c...784fc/Misc.html

Once your textures and model are in the right spots in your data folder, open the new model in NifSkope. Click the arrow to the left of NiNode, then click the arrow next to branch number 19, and click the arrow next to branch 22. Click the purple flower and point the file path to the texture in your data folder. Then click Save As and overwrite the original model. Then close NifSkope.

I only include the steps here in case you are new to applying textures in NifSkope, to help out. You don't need to alter anything else. I've tested this in the CS, and the model works properly now.

Good Luck!

It still falls down

Okay that's weird. I tested your original model and it fell for me too, so it isn't your CS. But I pulled a new model and textured it with your texture and it worked fine, so it isn't your texture. Are you sure you're using the new model I sent and didn't accidentally use the same model you had?

Maybe you should describe your method in NifSkope, did you do only the steps I outlined above, or something else?

This is very unusual, perhaps if you post your file path I can retex the model for you and set the path then you'd just have to drop it in your data folder and skip NifSkope altogether.  

[Evandar]

Yeah, I'm very sure.

I only did what you wrote.

The texture is in texturesclad in shadowscluttersignsbountyhuntersoffice.dds

[DarkRider]

Okay, I'll retex it right now and upload it for ya

Here's the link! http://www.4shared.c...784fc/Misc.html

Just drop the meshes and textures in the same folders in your data folder and add in the CS. Remember to add the sign as an activator and not a static object. Let me know if you have more trouble!  

[Evandar]

Thanks alot mate!

Will test it right away!

Edit: it works perfectly now! Thanks DarkRider!

No problem! Glad it works!
