No takers on this one?

I released a Saiga-12 some time ago, it suffered from zero spread even though I have both the spread and minimum spread set fairly high. I recently recreated the .nif (I assumed the projectile node had something to do with the problem) based off of the riot shotgun .nif. I basically just transferred my mesh into that .nif as to make use of all the existing nodes. I then entered the geck and created an entry by renaming the riot shotgun and changing only it's model leaving every value untouched. It still has zero spread even though it's using the same data as the riot shotgun with the only difference being the model used ingame. I am at a loss trying to figure this out and decided it's probably best to ask if anybody has any ideas as to how to correct the issue.

Thanks man, I'll have to give it another go and see if I can get them to turn out well. I've never really understood texturing but this time around I've been trying it again so this is pretty helpful. It sounds like you seem to have a pretty good handle on texturing, your stalker items turned out very well.

I found the problem was that the Emissive Color was not set to white and I did not know how to make a proper glow map at the time, that is a great tutorial and it solved the issue. Though while the green sights look great, I tried to make white sights and they were glowing way to bright, any idea on dimming the brightness of the glow would be useful and appreciated.

Glow Map Tutorial Another problem solved

So nobody has any idea as to how to make things glow?

I am trying to set up a set of Night sights that glow at night as well as during the day. The sights I got set-up here seem to show up fine if there is any light behind them but in complete darkness they are not visible at all. I took a look at the .nif files for the plasma weapons since they usually got parts that glow but I could not figure out how to get these sights to glow. I am wondering if there are any modders out there with experience in this area that are willing to give some insight into this. It seems at the moment they work like Fiber optic sights but I am trying to make Tritium Night Sights so this would go a long way. Thank you. http://s13.postimage.org/61aa2d81i/m30.jpg

I'll find a user that will PM that info to you since I got the same problem.

lol, thats the reason I posted this thread, I am just too lazy to do all that at this current time. But yeah go nuts on it.

I'm wondering if anybody feels like porting my stalker weapons pack from new vegas to fallout 3? I have had a number of people ask me this already but I do not even have fallout 3 installed, much less the time to convert the mod. So if anybody feels like porting the whole pack, or just a weapon or two, feel free. If anybody does port anything, obviously you must credit me and all others involved in the stalker weapons pack.

It seems I will not be able to get back to modding for some time (if at all) and noticed this project went unfinished. I was wondering if there were any modders interested in taking the project over, if so please either comment here or PM me.

Porting is simple, contact the author and gain permission is the first step. Then remaking the .esp is the second step, then you are done. So I would suggest picking up the geck since I have seen almost that entire list on here. The M1, Thompson, and the bar are already in fallout, I have seen an STG-44 mod recently and added a sighting node for the author so that one works, Camon has made a few of these models already like the FG-42 and the Bren, pretty sure he also has an MG, the 20th century weapon pack will contain the rest. Modders are willing to do requests and add new weapons to the game but when someone requests weapons that have already been made you probably wont get many if any modders that are willing to fill that request since some other modder already went and built them. I will however link as many as I can find. - I built an M1 Carbine you can find it in my signature. (may not be on the list but it is a WW2 weapon) - Track down this machine and you will have your M1 - Track down the BAR from deadmoney - Track down the Thompson from Honest Hearts (also contains a .45 similar to a colt) - Mg-42 With outfit FG-42 Bren Lmg 20th century weapons pack - This one contains the rest but I notice it is currently under review so it will either eventually get removed or they will complete the review and it will be back up. There is a mosin nagant in the stalker weapons pack but I do not currently have a standalone. Until then there is this - Mosin Nagant and SKS STG-44 If you request anything that I feel like making then I will give it a shot.

The geck wiki was my first source of learning the geck so any links to it will be be redundant, I don't mean to sound demeaning but like I said I have a good handle on the geck so I do not need information from the "geck wiki" as half of the entries are listed as unknown and I have already read it all already. Thanks for the comment anyway.

I have made a number of weapon mods already so I got a good handle on the geck but I would like to learn about 3 options in the geck that I do not understand yet. Sight Usage Aim Arc Kill Impusle I have never had to use these before but I would like to know what they do just in case I am missing something important by not changing them.
