Hey fellas, just felt like I should start off with I'm new to modding. Just made my first 2 mods which is just upgraded stats, and made new temper recipies. One of the items I modded was creating a new Azhidals arcana, I buffed ignite to be viable in legendary difficulty but now I wish to change the flame color emitted from only the modded version of ignite. I downloaded Nifskope and GIMP 2 to do this. Iv'e tried several things mostly consisting of changing the Emissive Color and every single BSEffectShaderProperty under any and all NiNodes into Green. Iv'e also been wanting to try changing the Greyscale Texture, however where nifskope pulls the file from I cannot find it via File Explorer or GIMP - textures\effects\gradients\GradFireCloak01.dds. It just doenst exist. The folders exist but the only thing inside is gradblood.dds and gradblood02.dds. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Ok so I am trying to learn the trickier ways of modding to create a more advanced and unique mods, now I'm delving into trying my hand at textures & meshes. Perhaps Horses are not the place to start, but that's the next step in a current mod I'm working on, so I'm unfortunately, stubbornly stuck on hashing it out until success or repeated undeniable failure. I'm not at failure yet so here I am to seek advice from someone whose maybe done it before. I've hit on scattered tutorials such as changing the texture on an inn sign, only to discover to my chagrin that horses seem to be much much more complicated. So here we go. I have the following programs: BSA Browser Nifskope 1.1.3 Gimp 2 w/ dds plug-in I really, honestly need step by step if anyone has the patience to type that out. I understand for the most part how to use each program, though Nifskope seems a bit beyond me atm, and the dds files for the horse textures are really hard to see in Gimp to even know what to do with them. BSA I'm good with though, I understand pretty much how that works and how to save extracted files to the desktop. Please and Thank you to anyone willing to help. OH and basically all I really want to do is take the brown horse texture from windhelm, & make a new one (not replace the old one) that is black with white blaze & socks. Its for a unique horse I'm adding to a Farm Mod custom player home.
