[OB] Hood dds files?

[Blind2Society]

So I just started modding a week or three ago because I couldn't find a quiver I liked while doing my (insert really high number here) playthrough of Oblivion. I went through DarkRider's CSbasic classes and have finally moved onto texturing.

 

sidenote: I never technically finished the CSB classes as just before the cleaning step I made a very stupid mistake and lost all my progress (of which there was a lot as I went way beyond what DR suggested in the class).

 

Anyway, on to my issue I was hoping somebody could help me with. I'm looking for a fancy black hood to go with my nice dark armor. However, I don't like the red and green splotches on the black hood and I can't find the dds files for any hood let alone the black one. I'm assuming that the robe dds files are used for both the robe.nifs and the hood.nifs but we all know what assuming does. Would any of you happen to know if I was correct in my assumption or know the paths to and name of the hood dds files?

When I retexture, I find the mesh first. Then load that NIF filie into Nifskope (a free program) and look at the texture paths to find out where all the textures that are used. You can then find the correct textures. This is also how you would change a texture on the hood to your new texture, by pointing the objects texture to your new set.

Ah, never thought about doing it that way. Thanks Willie.
