Custom weapon showing up as red triangle

[Iamtricky01]

I'm having some troubles getting my first custom weapon made. When I'm in the geck I can preview the weapon just fine and it works but when i test it in game its always a red triangle. What am i doing wrong I've been following this tut (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npPI72o9Tm0)on how to add custom weapons and everything works but when i get in game the weapon is missing a mesh even though it shows up fine in the geck

 

here is a screenshot of the weapon in the geck

but in game its just a red blob

 

any help would be appreciated

It seems like it's simply not finding the mesh files, is the mesh placed in the correct folder structure? The ESP file doesn't contain the texture or mesh data, you have to include that separately in order for your mod to run, like this (and they gotta match with the folder structure you used while in the GECK):

If you do have them but are running MO2, make sure to dump those files into your mod so it can see them.
