The armor NIF is a mashup of some other armors I have and is only for personal use, but I am a newb to creating meshes so if anyone can possibly help it'd be great. I've done all that I can think of and have seen in the topics I've looked up that are similar to this one, though I might have missed something. All I did was take specific parts of one armor and added them to another base mesh, i made sure that the only NiNodes under the base are at the bottom of the list and I'm sure they are for the skeletal structure IIRC. Also if I posted this in the wrong area let me know and I'll see about movin it. You can download the NIF here if you need to look at it, http://www.mediafire.com/?dzk7vj2eeit4h7n
