Need a retexture or somebody to help with a "kf" file

[Sandman101]

I'm in need of a retexture.  Normally this is something I can handle.  The problem this is an activator with animations.  It has a 'kf' file along with the nif.   I have no idea how to get this to work.
I have the nif retextured the way I want but it crashes the CS.  I did try to rename the kf file that came with it, didn't work.

All I need is a dwemer retexture(stock textures) of Dongles Daedric Glass Display case.

I'm not sure but I think what this will entail is retexturing the item then importing/exporting through blender or max to get the kf file.

what exactly does it say when it crashes the CS.

And does that have a AB.nif an XAB.nif and a XAB.kf involved?

Can you retexture the item through niftexture? or do you have to use nifskope?

While you are thinking about those, I will be off looking to see if I already have those.

EDIT, Nevermind the last two questions, I am pretty sure I have the display case and I have retexed it before, but if you could send me your textures to use, then I will try it and see if it will work here.

Edit the Second (I need a new brain, anyone haveone?)  Okay, first try this before you send me any textures, retexture the furn_glassdisplaycase_02.nif, the Xfurn_glassdisplaycase_02.nif then rename them to (use your own names but use the format) Daedric_Display.nif, XDaedric_Display.nif and XDaedric_Display.kf and see if that works.

I missed retexturing the XFurn_GlassDisplaycase_02.nif
It's working now.  Thanks Kittybroad.
I'll have some pics soon to show what I'm working on.  I'm at home and I'm taking a little break from the stuff I'm supposed to be doing.

no problem, I thin kI did that once, and the first time I ever retexed clothing I missed the hands.1st and couldn't figure out why my PC didn't have hands  

It hit me after my first edit that you might not have retexed the second nif, and/or you might not have named the kf the same as the second nif.

I got the KF file renamed the first time, I just missed the Xfurn...nif.
Now I just need to find a good clear glass texture for it.  The red one from the daedric cabinet looks funny with dwemer textures.  I have a good idea already.

That is good, post some screenies when you are done, I would be interested in seeing them. I probably need to retex some display cases for my mod as well, just to make things different and interesting. I really need to make a list of things to retex for that mod

 I think the censor is still a little to sensitive.   It's "glas's  the ' is so it won't edit it again.

Is GLButt a fork of GLDoom, by any chance?

You know, I HAD wondereed about that, I just thought that that was what you named the texture for some odd reason

Well, I tried several glass textures.  I'm trying to get a clear glass texture (or something that will go with dwemer textures)besides the red and green for the 2 in Dongle's Display pack linked above.
I not having any luck.  Anybody care to try?  
I can make a transparency just fine.  It's adding enough color to it to still show the edges and getting it to still remain clear. I'm going to keep trying.

Here's a pic from NifScope.
It's using a transparent texture right now but it looks wrong because you can't see the glass at all.

Hmm, I might be able to give you something, if you want to try it yourself, then go to this site: http://www.spectrumglass.com/stained-gl ... t-list.asp ,they even have an FTP site so you can bulk download the images for personal use, and look through their glass, they have several 'clear' glass textures that you could use, make them transparent, and since they are textured, you should still be able to see the glass, but still be a clear glass.  If you want me to try, just give me a heads up.

You might even find a colored glass that will suit the dwemer textures as well. They are a stained glass maker, and they have a wide variety of colors, textures and types of glass images.  They are not tileable though.
