Fallout 3/NV G.E.C.K - How To Make Custom Textures

Hey guys,
In this video I show you how to make your own textures for fallout 3 or new vegas using the Garden of Eden Creation Kit. If you say I copied qenosa with this video, I taught him how to do it and he urged me to make a tutorial myself.

    Open GECK, click data, when you change/create something (for instance creating new playerhouse). click save it's under "DATA" at the top, give it any name you want, that's your .ESP. Also exiting GECK will also prompt you to save it if hadn't.

    When saving, you selected Generate MipMaps and compression BC3/DXT5. that compression is not available in Photoshop CS2. How would I go about compressing it? or does it even matter that much? First time trying to do this, so thanks for the help.

    Having some trouble and hoping you're still around to help. Part of the problem could be my dds mod for GIMP, which doesn't cause GIMP to automatically detect DDS files for some reason. Can you link the one you use? However, on to my problem: When I get to around 2:50ish in the video, and am making my own texture form, when I click on edit, and navigate to my DDS and choose it, GECK crashes every time, even if I've launched it as administrator. Any idea what could be causing this?

    thanks man, this is a great tutorial, also for most of you who dont know where to find gimp or don't know how to download it, you can easily use Paint.NET to save as a dds file: dotpdn.com/downloads/pdn.html when you go to save the file, make sure it's saving as a DXT5 like it is in the video ;)

Why do we have to rename the files? Cant we just overwrite them after we edit them in gimp? Is there an easier way to re-texture house interiors using custom decals from google?

    If you still use this account, I have been following the other tutorials, does changing the name of a gun in GECK affect the name of it? I am looking for the service rifle texture and just can not find it.

  • @MrWoobeee

    @MrWoobeee

    Жыл бұрын

    Changing the name of it in the GECK shouldn't affect the texture files, the texture file is separate from the gun file itself. You could maybe open up the service rifle in the geck and see what texture file is linked to it? Not completely sure as I haven't used the GECK since I made these videos. Apologies for the long wait for the reply.

    Interestingly, I do all the steps and when I preview my weapon in G.E.C.K, it shows the correct texture and all (my custom texture), but when in game, the texture is problematic, the game either uses the original texture or gets confused and seems to switch the weapons texture all the time. Do you have any idea of what would be the possible cause?

    This is somewhat helpful, but only applies to making a custom 10mm. What I mean is you instruct us to "type in 1stperson10mm..." "type in Weap10mm..." etc. and that's how you get to the various little menus you need. But what if I want to make a custom rifle? Yes, I know the process would be essentially the same, but how do you know that you're looking for 1stperson10mm or Weap10mm? How do I find out what I'm looking for on, say, a battle rifle, or sledgehammer?

I just want to be able to download the bloody paint program and start painting. The DDS plugin won't even install. it just goes to WinRAR and every time I click the file that says Install it's just a note. how do I install the plugin?
