Thanks Washington! I'll go tinker with Nifscope! Stan Kirby

I retextured a vanilla object with a stone texture and wanted to use CS, insert it half way into a large rock. At this point it jumps out of the rock and disappears when I load up a save game. I'm still learning the ins and out of modding. Is it havok, persisitent or........................??? Not sure how to make it stay put. Eventually i want to make it "scripted" to accept some jewels and produce a scroll for the player to pick-up, read and get a map marker or spell to go to my new world space..... once i take DR's upcoming class. Any help or suggestions??? Thank you, Stan Kirby

Khett, Willie, and Echo, Thanks for the replies. Leave it alone in other words. Just bothers me with extraneous data lurking!!!! So, on to bigger and greater things. Stan Kirby

Other than the "testing hall" is there any benefit to keeping all the TEST cells in Tamirel world? What about all the TEST world spaces? Just wondering if they are ever used. Would it make the CS load quicker or run more smoothly? TY Stan Kirby

Another awesome tutorial! Only one issue that i feel sure I have brought on myself. My new bed is suffering from the purple mesh plauge!!! I have deleted, re-created and reworked thru the tutorial multiple times. The bed looks perfect in Nifscope with the proper texture paths. The bed has purple mesh in CS and of course in game. Other than that life is perfect! Any suggestions? Stan Kirby

Good point Echo! That's what I ended up doing. Thank you Stan Kirby

Thanks Zay......................I meant to say 2.6.11 lol I'm also up and running too!!!

General consensus is that GIMP is "easier to use" than Photoshop so I am attempting to install it and try it out. I am using Windows 7. I found (2) versions of Gimp: 2.6.8 (@ tesnexus) and 2.6.11 from GIMP site Any suggestions? for install location? Any suggestions on which version? Thank you Stan Kirby Backed everything out from both versions and re-installed in Program files using 2.8.11 + dds and normal map plugins.

Many thanks to Hanaisse and IS!!!! I just created the ugliest bucket known to man. On to the classes Stan Kirby

Thanks Hanaisse! I have Nifscope loaded and working but dont know how to use it yet!! Time to dive in! I also have Photoshop CS5 but have been waiting on the classes. I'll give the Enclave Texturing a good look. Thanks again. Stan Kirby

I would like to "retexture" some existing items in in Oblivion. Is there a way to do it via the CS landscape editor? I suspect not but thought I would ask. As an example: Wooden bucket...................converted to granite, moss-covered bucket. Is Nifscope the answer? I hope not cause I'm still not trained in it's use. I have some ideas for a new mod/world that I want to create. Once I get trained in modeling & worldbuilding then maybe the answers will come more easily. Waiting patiently in the country in north Georgia, USA LOL!!!! Stan Kirby

Willie, I changed the ini settings....................no help! Restarted my laptop and all is GOOD!!!!! Thank you! Stan Kirby

Thanks Willie, My current display setting is 1600x900. Dont know is you mean laptop setting or display setting in CS.......if there is one. Thanks for replying! Stan Kirby

When I open the CS/World/Height map Editor the GUI wont allow me to scroll to the lower values. IE Land smoothing, overlay alpha, and the Erode button. Is this most likely a default view setting on my PC or something else? TY Stan Kirby

Thank you all for the responses! After several trial and error stabs at it.............I have decided to leave it alone for now. I really wanted the Elven TrueType fonts in game but am now considering just converting the elven verse into images and including them in scrolls and books. Thank you again Stan Kirby

I gave up on Photoshop CS5........................................for now. I used DDS Converter and created the dds image. The image is now in game in the book!! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Stan Kirby

I am working on some custom books for a WIP mod. I have tracked down the HTMl like code to be used in CS for books. I found a JPG photo of a jewel...ruby to be exact...............and opened it in Photoshop, tweaked it a bit to resemble pencil sketch and saved as file type dds. There was a popup about NVidia settings and I just ok'd and saved. Now in game the picture in the book is not RED but the missing mesh purple. Finally my question. Do images used for insertion in the text of a book in Oblivion require a "normal _n map? If so, can someone point me to one the many helpful tutorials that is out here in netland? Thank you Stan Kirby

TY what is BGSF? forum.

I see in Oblivion INI settings that (5) font types are specified. [Fonts] SFontFile_1=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Regular.fnt SFontFile_2=Data\Fonts\Kingthings_Shadowed.fnt SFontFile_3=Data\Fonts\Tahoma_Bold_Small.fnt SFontFile_4=Data\Fonts\Daedric_Font.fnt SFontFile_5=Data\Fonts\Handwritten.fnt I would like to add (2) additional font types for some Elvish books I'm working on. Is there a documented process to get this done? Is (5) the maximum number of font choices available in game? Thank you, Stan Kirby
