Purple textures everywhere !

[Ulrik]

I have just finish install STEP 2.1 and when I test it, it seems I have missing textures. I don't think it's vram because it does even during loading screen and in the inventory. I don't know what to do except reinstall everything (which will be very very long :( ). Here is some screenshots I take :

What do you think about it ?

Thank you

 

PS : Sorry for my english.

Purple means the mesh is missing its texture as far as I recall

[frihyland]

Yep, you are definitely missing textures. Something went amiss with your installs. Revert to your vanilla backup and reinstall everything step by step paying particular attention to the Advice sections. Skyrim Installation Guide may help you understand the process a bit better before you reinstall STEP.

Haha...they look like purple storm troopers.

If it was only them being pink I might consider deleting some textures xD

I think there can be a possibility of UV mapping problems if any of the optimizer re-size the "wrong" textures. I guess it has to do with how the mapping was done ? I'm not that well experienced in this area but noticed the same problem with a nail mod I use, the DDSopt shrank the textures of that mod and that made all the colors pink.

Yes, there will for sure be certain mods that give that result when DDSOPT'd, and info on which would be greatly appreciated for the wiki. :) If you look through the main DDSOPT thread you'll see we worked out the files in the standard Skyrim - Textures.bsa that show up as purple if optimized with DDSOPT, but I don't think any info has been posted as of yet when it comes to files in specific mods.

I found the error, not really, but I localized it. After deleting and make a fresh install (thank god, I have it in dvd), I always had the problem. So I took a look at the ini files and saw they were unchanged since I installed STEP. So I deleted them. Guess what, no problem anymore... I have deleting all for nothing... But I know I have to be careful with ini files now \o/
