hopefully dont worry im not going anywhere got around 10-15 more weapons to try and work out... just because one works dosent mean ill succeed a second time, I am a modeler first and foremost, in previous games, I had others deal with textures and importing into the game. al the modders i know have long since quit and disappeared

i am in need of help thus why i posted here, what you see is how far i got, i needed someone else to do the rest, i got lucky someone helped me, and we discovered you cannot use full custom meshes etc, you essentially are forced to use a stand in file no matter what in order to get proper shaders etc on the mesh to add textures and a bunch of other things. Im still in the dark but In a nut shell thats what you have to do, its dumb, never had to these kind of hurdles in previous Bethesda games, they're creation get is far less friendly this time around. cant edit textures in the construction set aka apply them there, which is what tossed me through a loop. still hopefully the below tutorial is all ive found, and its still not perfect you will still likely have issues. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/485274-video-tutorial-how-to-get-custom-weapons-into-skyrim/ The End result after another 3 hours of tweaking and problem solving was this Need To work on textures more, but otherwise its progress. http://oi43.tinypic.com/2hppytd.jpg http://oi39.tinypic.com/qrcg7o.jpg

Managed to get it working right in Nifskope still doesnt work in game properly http://img.techpowerup.org/120212/nifscope%20loaded%20succesfully.jpg

Lets keep this simple looking for a simple breakdown on getting a mesh ive modeled, sculpted, and textured in game, from scratch not looking to replace meshes, I wish to add content, so here goes, Item Number: 1 Dragon Bone Smasher: from Demon Souls, As you can see Mesh / Normal Map / Diffuse Map / Spec Map are done and ready, everytheres there, got the OBJ file, just need to get it in game and working. If i can get some help and get walked through the process I can then add a bunch more weapons Most guides I see require replacing or using another file to get the item working in game, sadly ive had little luck with this, the item works but textures dont, thus why i want to try this from scratch. http://img.techpowerup.org/120208/Final%20Composite.jpg As you can see this is the farthest me and a friend managed to get http://img.techpowerup.org/120212/2012-02-12_00003.jpg The above is what i wish to concentrate on but other Items in the works include; http://img.techpowerup.org/120208/Two%20Handed%20Dao.jpg http://img.techpowerup.org/120211/flamberge3.jpg http://img.techpowerup.org/120212/ksword.jpg among others. Any help would be appreciated.
