Texture Filepaths

[Halperin]

Hey everyone,

I've been downloading some resources and want to package all the meshes and textures into my own folders, like Halperin/MyMod/Texture/Armortexture. However, the meshes use textures according to their filepath, so an Armor mesh would only be able to use a texture from Bob/Mod/Texture/Armortexture, and not Halperin/MyMod/Texture/Armortexture. I know you use Nifskope to somehow change it, and I feel like I've seen tutorial around here, but I haven't been able to find it. Can anybody direct me to a tutorial / explain to me how to change texture filepaths?

Step 6 of the first Texturing Class explains how to do it. Good luck!

Unless you plan on making new textures to create new nifs, IMO you should leave the directory structure like it is. I always say so in my readmes for 2 reasons:

1- it keeps the data folder "clean", meaning you wont have unnecessary duplicates.

2- if an update is released, all mods using the original meshes/textures will be updated.

Theres also another self-evident reason, with each author having its own folder, things are easier to find. But like i said, thats my opinion.

Im with meo on this one.

The exact reason why COBL was made is because of what you are doing.

Its more effective overall to have 5 mods reference a single set of resources rather then those 5 mods to have a set of the resources only for them.
