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.

Straight to it. No bullshitting to make the video longer or begging for likes. You sir, are a fantastic person. Thank you.
Idolized: Renowned for your extensive support and goodwill, you are idolized by the community 6 years after being published and still helping people learn. successfully finished first try and stoked on it. thanks mane
Quick simple and effective. That's how tutorials should be, and I gotta say, you nailed it. Thanks for the help.
great job man! I saw from a previous comment of yours that you were stuck with modding and re-texturing and its great to see that your progressing with your goals. kudos
Thank you so much! I've been trying to do a pool table custom texture for about a day and it finally works!

+Weebill Fluxx Did you, by any chance, create a 14 ball as well? :D
Thanks this video helped me :) i didn't get the world texture to work but it works in 3rd and 1st person which is all i really wanted :P
Thank you so much! My 1st custom object is finally in-game!
Great tut man quick to the point and no stuttering +like +sub =3
YES! Thank you for making this
Thanks man! I now know how to re-texture!
Thnx a lot for this tutorial! Can I edit the gun textures to look completely different, like add extra parts? Or will that mess things up?
Thank you, this helped allot.
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.
thanks for making this
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?
Thank you so much!
Hey how do you do the first step of finding the first person model when your doing this for a armour texture? I cant find any first person Powerarmour or any Poweramour static
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 ;)
Thank you sooooo much
i have been able to make several textures sutch as gold silverwear a checkerboard cleaner milk blue caps amung some other things, but the thing i cant figure out is i want to edit the armored vault 21 jumpsuit, and that appears to share a model with the vault 101 jumpsuit and the whole picture when loaded into an editor is barely visable purple and blue see thugh.
I love how much he makes himself laugh with "Custom Stoof."

Hell yeah
How do you get the additional box upon saving? That doesn't appear for me and it keeps trying to save it as an. Xmb file
Dang this is brutal. This is a lot of work for one decal.. I'm trying to re-texture a nipton house interior so it looks pre-war but dang, I didn't know it would be this hard. 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?

Joshman601 I completely agree with you. All I want to do is retexture the ammunition box but I don’t understand what the hell is going on lol. I’ve made plenty of retextures for plenty of other games, but GECK isn’t very user friendly I guess
yo please help me! there is something im missing, i created my own gun with own texture, the textures appeared in nifskope but when i load it in game it appear really random stuff like my own character skin, metal, wood...ect. whats happening ??
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

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.
In the G.E.C.K you type in 1stperson for a weapon, what if you are editing armor textures?
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?

maybe there's the .ini file of your fallout to edit : the FALLOUT.ini in C:/Documents/MyGames/Fallout3 (or NewVegas) -look for the line that says binvalidateOlderFiles=0 -change the 0 with a 1 it should resolve your issue

I wonder if you can make your own camo
and if the textures have a different form? lets say its for the same weapon but the original one has the reciever on the left and the one that i wannt to use it's on the right, how do i make the game /gun read the textures properly?

Disclaimer I'm still learning as well. As far as I know, what you have to do is assign the texture to the model surface, or you can flip both areas.
Type into google: Gimp dds plugin (for Gimp) or Photoshop dds plugin (for photoshop). It should either have an automatic installer or it will tell you where to place the file.
I have the new version of the fallout mod manager and its not allowing me to choose the BSA Browser i don't know what to do
For some reason when I enter the geck my custom texture isn't showing up
when I tried to open the texture .dds files with gimp "Opening 'C:\Users\Nathaniel\Desktop\Vault 85 Custom Textures\textures\dungeons\vault\vgeardoor01.dds' failed: Unknown file type"

i cant actually change the texture in the geck when there is nothing the second i get to 1s
The Slide on my gun isnt retextured. What file do I need to change?
Ok I do this all and yet when I add my new texture to my fridge the damn thing doesn't show my texture, it shows the grounds texture.
when i go to the weapons textures and click on a file it sais that my computer specified device path is incorrect or i dont have permissions to the file
Same ting applies to Power Armor?
I used the nexus mod manager, with that, how do i extract the textures?
When i'm done creating my texture i click "Save as" and i get a totally different menu from you, i don't get a menu saying "Compression" or a menu saying "Generate Mipmaps" Any help?
my texture for the alien blaster is purple, how do i fix this?
every time i try replacing the original texture with the new one i made it says "invalid Directory" can anyone help?
can you send the links for all the programs i need to download for this. i have gimp but what else do i need. i have fallout NV the steam version if that helps
idk if he ment to but when he wrote one the pistol it says hey
I am about to mod the SHIT out of New Vegas
My custom texture shows up in geck but in game it becomes some random flickering. No clue why :S
Does anyone know how people make the cool little words on the guns like millenia adds numbers and words that make it look professional or sometimes people put stuff like "SURVIVOR" or "SHOTGUN RAIN" but it doesn't look paint

Yeah, they type it out with various fonts and apply effects to the type.
what about camo for armors?
the texture i made doesnt load and the gun is just purple without a texture
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?

You actually don't open the application, you Save the DDS.exe file to another location, open Computer>Windows(x86)>Gimp2>lib>Gimp>2.0>Plugins, and drag the Application to there :) Have fun
Can you custom texture armor? I'm awaiting my fallout 3 game in the mail now

phoque022 Same thing happened to me but I just got a download from a guy and it fixed everything. It's just that it needs to be exported as a dds file once you're done
Because I got it for 6$ on amazon the unlimited edition
Oh, ofcourse after you click DATA, select the fallout3.esm! then press ok
i tried that but im scared of getting a virus lol and i really love how fast you reply to comments i think that's awesome and very helpful. and does it matter if i have gimp 2 in my programs or gimp2.0. now i know those 2 are probably the same but i was watching this vid and he had 2.0 when i have just 2 and he didnt have a dll problem
It doesnt load the texture of my gun. Can anyone help

wow. how fucking difficult it is just to change the appearance of something :P. Got the GIMP. Found the DDS plugin, and I have no idea what a DDS is, just that they are the only files the GECK will use as textures. I'm not exactly technically inclined. 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?
gimp says its an uknown file type
Or Ultimate edition should I say
знаю знаю
try using paint.net
guys (im guessing the 2 likes on my comment mean they have the same question) you need to extract the file instead of "save as"
Crashes GECK.
Just type in the name of the .dll file into google and you should be able to find it.

Geez, guess you watching on iphone or something similar, otherwise learn to read the comments and you see your "problem" has allready been answered 1 year ago, it even shows as a top comment! You need a dds plug-in for GIMP! Use google and you'll it soon enough.
We are trying to LEARN. FASTER is not SMARTER. If you would slow down, we might learn what you are trying to teach. People that already KNOW how to re-texture are not the ones who need these tutorials. SLOW DOWN! Thanks!
