I need (pun intended) a retex for the water skin

from iNeed. I installed but disabled the mod so I could have the skin hanging from Campfire's backpack. The problem is I don't like the "fancy" look it has. I'd rather have a plain brown leather look. Spent a lot of time and a fair amount of bandwidth looking through the Nexus last night - didn't find anything. I know nothing about retexturing stuff myself....

Anyone ever seen anything like that? I found an image of exactly the sort of thing I'd rather have, but it's just a pic - no mod.

HD waterskin - image topics at the Nexus Forums

Unfortunately, this is from back in 2014 - old, and I couldn't find anything that indicated it ever saw the light of day as a mod. I am going to have my daughter grab some stuff for me, and I'll include GIMP in the list - at this point I don't even have anything that will open .dds files!

This is what I want a retex for.... I don't like the harlequinade look for it.

Sere, check out Unclaimed Delivery, there are accessories, including a nice waterskin. That mod is one I always keep.

Edit: It doesn't hang from the backpack though, it's on a long strap.

Huh. But I wonder how I'll get it to overwrite the waterskin in the .bsa for iNeed.... I just don't know how to do this stuff....

I don't either Sis, no clue!

Are, you're welcome. I love that mod, and have probably used it, or parts of it, for every female character I've had.

Well, looking in CK at the models for iNeed's waterskin, there's a GOB of places I'd have to change. So likely I'll set up a test install tomorrow, with just iNeed and Unclaimed Delivery, and play with it there instead of on my current girl.

Thanks a bunch Sis! I have another mod I downloaded that has one too - and I might see if it will work as well, so I have a choice depending on what a girl is wearing.

Pretty amazing I'd never seen either of those mods before. Damn, as much time as I've spent on Nexus....

Oh, as for the way it hangs etc. - if I just use the model, that shouldn't matter. Maybe. I hope. As I said - I know very little about all this.

Soooo.... that icky tex is from Campfire. And - it's baked into so many .dds files, I don't know how I'll get it fixed. Oh, I did find something to open .dds files: windows picture viewer!

I might go post on the site to see if someone can help me out. I actually did get the waterskins from both Unclaimed Delivery and Winterhawk's Hut to show up - on the floor between her feet. If that tex isn't part of the "_camp_backpack_details.dds" and "_camp_backpack_details_n.dds" files then it obviously isn't going to work. Changing something like that is WAY beyond me. Now, I wonder how long that tex has been part of campfire.... maybe an older version would have something different that I could plug in....

Hmm, I wish I'd have popped in sooner. I knew right off that that skin was from Campfire. I can see how that would be a pain to edit, too, with the way it is linked to the backpack.

Yep. But hey - it's all good, since now I know a way to look at .dds files! No gain without some pain, after all!

You can open and edit Direct Draw Surface files in Gimp, and probably other image editing software. Gimp is free, open source.

Yes, and I can't afford the download bandwidth. My daughter is getting it for me, with this latest round of huge mods, and some screenshots of a couple of PC houses I made when I was playing RIFT.

My antique versions of Paint Shop Pro won't open .dds files (probably because they're just so old that format hadn't happened yet!); Photoshop will handle them, but I'm not paying Adobe for PS. So once I get the stick from daughter, I'll see what I can do about learning enough to fix that one thing.

I manage tweaking graphics for website use just fine in PSP 6, but I'm not really very good with graphics other than for site use.

And.... someone saw my post and made one for me!

Waterskin Retex

She actually did it for RND not iNeed, but I renamed the texes to what Campfire calls them, and put them in loose which I hope will overwrite the ones in the .bsa. If not, I'll have to replace the ones in the .bsa and repack it.

Worked like a charm!
