Meshes and their Alternate Textures

[Beana]

Could someone please explain to me GECK's Alternate textures? I have seen this on paintings and now with tilesets... I have come across this while adding resources to GECK mainly... pictures for instance, I would bring up edit and change the nif.. creating a new object, renaming etc... etc... I would delete the alternate textures for the painting I would add, just to bring it back up to see them there. Now with adding a new tileset to GECK I see that the tilesets have alternate textures? What does alternate textures mean.. that the mesh will alternate through the textures? If that's a given please forgive me asking lol.... BUT... tell me so! Any added info on this topic or if there's a better way to add stuff is totally welcome as I am a new fish here with the GECK

heres a screenie of where im talking about if its needed

Research TextureSet. Its a great new feature that allows you to retexture vanilla nifs without having to package and release them, only the textures and an esp.

Yeah, there is a new 'object' in your object window called a 'Texture Set'. You assign the textures to the new object and then apply them to the vanilla NIF object like you show in your picture.

Looking great Beana! Nice to see you working on some New Vegas stuff. Are you going to release it at some point?

[Beana]

Thanks!!!!! Yep!! I have a few things I am going to learn though... My reason for making a house for NV is to get rid of the need to run to Lucky 38 to get my companions. I will have an option to send them to this home. (hopefully) Then all I will have to do is travel to the house and they all are there... instead of traveling to gate... then going inside another gate... then to Lucky 38 etc.... I put in a place for each with spots for each of them when you gain them

Now i know there are mods to change the way companions are vs vanilla that would make this idea obsolete but none the less... I like the idea

Oh that's a good idea!! I'll definitely be using it whenever you release. New Vegas is the first game that I've played where I feel really attached to my companions and actually care about what happens to them. A house like that would be a welcome addition.

I feel the same way!!! I am excited you like my idea!!!!! I too care a lot about my companions and think they deserve what I feel is a nice place

I definitely agree. I just finished Boone's last quest. I really loved his whole quest-line, it really felt like he was alive and going through growth and emotions. And the whole story with his wife made me so sad! But then the ending made me really feel like we'd face it and won. It was awesome. New Vegas has turned out to be a pretty incredible game.
