After working with it for awhile, I finished up a dark wood & clean clock face (No scratch marks) that I think turned out alright. The side textures get blurred pretty heavily, but really this happens with any texture due to A) a pretty simple mesh and B) the UV Map. (From what I can tell.)
Since its such a small object, I am not going to bother redoing the UV map. I will however upload a few more variants when I get time (I have a chrome variant, and plan to do a few colored ones.)
The Dark Wood is only up as a replacer for Homemaker currently. If you wanted it for both, you could copy the mesh and place it into Meshes->Props->Clocks , and it would replace the in-world clocks w/ the wood one as well.
My issue is I don't want to have too many individual versions uploaded, it just seems messy to me. Feedback is welcome, especially on the wood textured.. I am not a texture artist, and I am still learning here. Hope someone likes it!
Just remember, if Homemaker gets updated, it will likely overwrite my mesh, meaning you will need to reinstall it after homemaker updates. This is only avoidable by using a .esp version.
I don't currently have a standalone decoration version. I may consider it if I have enough variants and such to warrant it, but at this time, it doesnt
I would love to set them up to function if it is possible and isnt a major drain on peoples PC's. At this time though it is what it is
Once you notice it, it's a neat little lore detail. As handy as having working clocks would be, I personally wouldn't sacrifice the immersive reminder of the exact time civilization died in the Commonwealth.
The model in the Dark Wood version actually points to the DW textures. The reasoning behind this, was to make it so you could use the original repaired clock for the in-world model, and use the dark wood texture for the Homemaker repaired model. If you rename the DW textures, itll break it.
I can definitely upload a version that replaces both w/ the dark wood, if desired. At some point, when I am better at texturing, I am going to try to improve that texture (Probably have to edit the model and UV map.. it seems to be more of the issue than the texture when it comes to blurring the texture on the sides.
I apologize for any confusion / inconvenience, I did it this way to try to be helpful heh. I am also trying to avoid uploading a thousand files for a simple clock change, too, since there are a LOT of combination of fixes / ways to change it.
At some point, my intention is to create a small pack of craftable , repaired objects that Homemaker uses, and release that in both an override for Homemaker form and standalone. But itll take me a bit, I am still slow at this, and learning.
I hope that helps answer your question -- just let meknow if you need / want a different setup than that. I have the clean chrome version, too, since that was a simple texture to make (black.. lots of black.. lol. White on specular..). It looks pretty good though, for as simple as it is. I can upload that, but I need to decide whether it should replace ALL clocks or just homemaker's.
I don't believe your mod contains a master file.
Also.. there are clocks out in the Wasteland that are exactly like the broken ones shown in your screenshot.
Can I use your new mesh to replace those too? I am not currently using Homemaker & don't want to install it for a single mesh replacer.
I really like this mod a lot. I'm glad you made the clocks look nicer.
Thanks for sharing your little creation with us! c:
Edit: And yes, I meant .esp. Was tired
Also you might want to enable the download and install with NMM option, it tends to get you more traffic, and your file structure is already set up for it it looks like so there's really no reason not to.
Anyway, good job so far, I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Scripting is yet another thing I will have to learn lol.
