Need help find what texture is messed up please

[EisDrache]

Hello its been a while since I have been here since I have just recovered from a serious Computer/hardware melt down. Now that I have my new computer up and running and installed SR. And I accidentally DDSopt'ed all the DDS files in the mods folder. I know stupid. I thought meh I will try and use all the Opt'ed files to see what happens. And again another stupid thing I forgot to backup anything. I think because I was so excited to get back to playing/modding skyrim since I haven't played it in almost a year. And now when I run the game my female character's body (also does the same with male character's) is now showing up all white/blueish color. The head is fine but everything below the neck is like that. I use CBBE ensted of UNP. This only shows on my character and not on any of the NPC's. I have replaced the CBBE body textures with the original un opt'ed ones and it is still showing up the same. Anybody know what file/files I should replace with the original cuz i'm at a loss.

Are you also using an alternate texture for CBBE bodies? I think that Neo uses something else for those textures and normals like Mature Skin Texture and Body.

[EisDrache]

Yes i use CBBE and the mature skin texture mod. I have replaced the files for both mods and its still not showing the skin texture and loading all white. See i'm not sure if its the actual texture or the normals. Heres a few pics of the mods i have installed and running

Picture or it did not happen!

 

It is odd if it is only on you that it happens, since only the hands texture in 1st person is unique to the player. The rest are shared.

 

Does it also happen without armor on etc ? Need a bit more detail.

[EisDrache]

Yes it happens with and without armor. here are a fwe screenshots

Thats an esy one to fix....I had the same issues myself.....Its race menu.

 

Re-install race menu, and DO NOT DDSopt it at all. I dont know how or why this happens, but its exactly what i had

[Aiyen]

Good to know.... but damn that is odd!

Actually now that you mention it then I do recall there was an issue about that in the racemenu nexus thread WAY back.

 

But strange since Racemenu does not have the textures and they are normally loaded after. Guess it is a script gone crazy and the link between the player and the texture path is messed up.

[EisDrache]

Yep that was the problem replaced Racemenu and its all fixed now. I diden't even know that racemenu had any textures involved but looking now i see i think the one that caused the problem is the overlay.dds file

[7hr08ik]

I'm thinking it's probably something to do with the rate event overlays. Coz the add on for overlays contains the textures but the actual overlay part of the mod is included I am the main mod.

What I'm thinking is, there must be an invisible texture overlaying the character. When you add a tattoo it replaces the clear overlay with the tattoo overlay, but ddsopting the clear one results in a broken texture.... Hence the purple bodies but head are ok.

 

Does that make any sense?

 

It would be easy to test, I just can't be bothered to do it

marking as solved!

 

well I would if solved was part of the possible prefix!

[bitdman]

Did this problem get solved? I have this problem now and reintalling race menu didn't fix it.

[Aiyen]

Do you have anything else affecting tint mask etc. Since I think the problem is related to those. Any tattoo mods etc.

[bitdman]

It was like this with a STEP Extended install. Only the DLC textures got optimized. and It's only the Player Character thats affected. I tried installing CBBE and mature skin, no change.

[bitdman]

Just incase someone has this problem. I have discovered that if I start the game with the launcher the bodies of the Player character are normal, but I get a message that SKSE is not running. If I start the game with SKSE then the bodies are like in the pics of the previous post.

 

This doesn't make sense to me but might mean something to you gurus, I hope!

[Aiyen]

I am sure it is because of the tint masks used for tattos etc. Since they require a SKSE edit in order to function at full resolution.

Also the only textures that affect only the player, and is in some way connected to SKSE.

I checked the textures that are in the tintmask folder but there only head files. What mod would have the bodies of the Player character in it ? Do you have any idea?
