Hi folks, I would like to know if anyone knows how to get rid of the ghost in my traincar. I am trying to create a doubledoor boxcar made from the standard livestock car. First I went into the diff alpha and removed the black markings for the livestock car slats and some unwanted bracing. After re-painting I worked up a new normal file. The car looked like this in NifSkope:
I thought it looked pretty good but might need a roof change. Anyway, I put the car on my test map to get a good look and found this:
As you can see, it kind of looks like a livestock car stuck inside a boxcar - UGLY! The old bracing and slat lines have all been removed from the normal file. The spec and emsk files are nothing but black squares. I assume, while I have successfully removed various things in the past by alpha-ing them out, putting something new over something that has had an alpha change is creating the problem. I have no idea if this is something that can be fixed or not. Hopefully someone out there has had this issue in the past and knows what can be done. I've invested some hours on this and don't want to just pitch the work, but I'm not interested in butting my head against a wall either if this is something that just can't be done. I am attaching my traincar files should someone have an idea and want to look at where I am. Thanks all, Slider
) and this is the first one that decided to cause trouble. On Engines they are attached to the b_body NiNode and never were a problem. Not having a b_body I realized that b_base had to be the same thing and attached it there. The engine had a Rotation of -90, 0 and -180, so it came out in the wrong position, so I ended up having to zero all three to get it in the correct position, respacing, resizing and shifting it to get it placed correctly. But it still sat still. I tried attaching it to other NiNodes and none worked. I don't know, maybe I connected to the wrong one when I was trying to hit that one....... 
), it's getting them to work. Few people open them up.
