  • [F3] I can't overwrite textures and meshes - please help

    From Pro-Love Girl@pro.love.girl@gmail.com to alt.games.fallout on Saturday, January 31, 2009 03:03:32

    I downloaded some new textures and meshes for Fallout 3, but the
    current files are "meshes.bsa" and "textures.bsa". How do I overwrite
    *them*?

    I'm used to lots of texture files and mesh files, like we had in
    Morrowind. You simply dragged them across, and you clicked "replace
    all"... and they did.

    (I downloaded the new files from http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=872
    if that helps.)

    Hope you can help

    I found out that textures that are modified *after* the date of the
    bsa file, overwrite the earlier file anyway, because they're loaded in
    date order. So you don't need to worry about overwriting the bsa file
    yourself.
    I thought I'd better mention that, because as no-one answered,
    obviously no-one in this group knew that.
