New Vegas Texturing problem help please.

First time out of the vault
ok, so i tried to make a custom NCR Veteran Ranger helmet to practice texturing. (and i still don't know how people get that "Fallout" look to it) so i simply changed it a little, it looked fine. but when i put it in the geck and load it, its got like Fulbright on or something. the world model looks ok. and when i go in game, its still super bright. i've goggled like a mad man for 2 hours now, and im hoping the pro's here at NMA can help :( this problem is causing me serious grief. here is a picture of what i mean: http://i.imgur.com/7hSOW.png (sorry for the bad shot i quickly screen capped and called it good) so can anyone tell me or suggest what im doing/is wrong? and is it JUST for this armor piece? i haven't tried any others yet but the NCR armor did the same.

Make sure you've added in normal maps. How did you do a custom texture? Did you add it to the model directly in nifskope or did you add a texture set? The latter is the better way.
 
thats with the _N right? do i need to modify that one or just add it to it? i have it as a texture set
 
Yes, it's the one with the _N. As long as you're doing a simple recolor, you can get by with reusing the existing normal maps.

I've got a mod to "paint away" faction emblems off of faction clothes/armor and I had to modify the normal maps or there'd be shiny lettering that always stays there.

Good luck.
