I'm trying to make a new race that would look the same as dark elves, but I'm having difficulties. I have looked and not found any areas of the construction set for designating files for how a new race looks, and I didn't see anything about it when I did a search for it in Help. My only thought is that perhaps I need to copy the current files used for dark elves and rename the copies with the same syntax but replace the dunmer tag with the tag for my new race, but I can't find where all these files would be.

Any help is appreciated, I'm new at this.

Hmmmmmm... in the body part menue, do I just copy and paste and rename the Dark Elf body parts?

Okay, running into problems with making the new body parts.

I go to the body parts tab and I reight click and select "new"

I punch in the name of my race, make the ID with the same syntax, mark which part it is, and then I try to select the art file. Somehow, the art files which they have listed for the dark elves appear to be... absent. I can't find them. It says the model for (for example) the female ankle is b\B_N_Dark Elf_F_Ankle.nif, but I can't find the file. When I hit the button to select the artwork it automatically places me in the meshes directory, and when I look through it I do not see any Dark Elf meshes. I open the folder called "b" and look there, but it only has Argonian meshes, some other meshes I don't know what they are, and maybe one or two Nord meshes(for all I know these may be from pluggins I have?).

This is, of course, a problem.

Can I get some help? Please?

I searched my entire C drive for "B_N_Dark Elf" and it came up with nothing. I'm rather confused, now. Helpppppp Meeeeeeee

I've had the same prob with all the mashes in the game. I think thay are loked up in the master files but can't get them out ether. sorry I cant help but at least you know you are not the only one.

AFAIK meshes etc are stored on the cd - so check D drive (or whatever your cd drive is called).

If you have the TESCS cd in the drive it should take you there automatically (IIRC) when you select a mesh.

basically load up the CS cd, and look in it to find the meshes etc and extract them. (i dont know if its on the morrowind cd or just CS, its been a while since i last did it)
