So, while making my mod, I ran into this issue which I was unable to fix myself. Basically, The textures of my model can be seen through anything, be it objects, npc's etc My model is composed by 3 NiTriShapes, because one is for the hole sword, and the 2 others are for the animated textures. (those two uses NiAlphaProperty, and it is those two NiTriShapes thats has the bugged textures) .I am not sure if the Flags of the Alpha Property is the issue, or the flags in the BSLightingShaderProperty Since I am new to modding, I dont have a clue on how to fix it. I didn't find any similar issue to mine on google. So I am kinda in the dark here. Here, a link to the NIF :/ https://ufile.io/7f25 Take a look:

So I am following the Creation Kit Notepad ++ setup tutorial. When I get to the Syntax Highlighting part I get stuck. When trying to import the language I get the "Fail to import" message. I tried running as admin and format to other codes as other people said me to do. But does not work. I really wanna begin scripting. Please Help :/ EDIT----------------------------------- I managed to make the Notepad++ to work

Thanks :) I thought it was something serious like missing files or incorrectly instalation.

So, It has been a month since I started modding Skyrim. I managed to create my own custom weapon, an I was planning to attach scripts to it. I began watching scripting lessons on youtube, so while following the tutorial I found an issue in my Creation Kit. Dont know what this might be. The textures of the props etc does not appear. What could be the issue? Here I tried searching on Google a way to solve this, but my Google Fu it is not the best. I want to solve this because no doubt this is going to be a problem for me on the future. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I need help with finding the textures/effect/mesh (dont know exactly). Of the embers that keep coming out of the fireplaces and Blacksmith Forges, like you see on the image: If you did'nt get what I actually meant, I mean this effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nEw05S7IIw What I need is the name of the texture/effect/mesh I am planning on attaching the effect on a weapon. Thanks.

Thank you :)

So, a simple question. Do I need to put the Nifskope on a specific folder? Or can I put anywhere I want?

Looks great! The sensation I got is that adds realism and immersion. pretty nice :)

If a mod does not have scripts its usually safe to unistall, but a mod that have scripts have always the possibility to cause issues on your save. So, I recommend this Tool you can download on nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52363/? The Save Game Script Tool will remove any "orphans" scripts(leftovers of a scripted mod) and also backs up your save automatically(if you want, you can uncheck the option while the tool is open) It will basically clean your save of any script leftover so you can safelly play it without getting CTD etc.

Wow Seriously, thanks a lot for the advice. Thats going to help a lot.

Hey, thanks for replying. I will send to link to you.

Ok, hi everyone...again... Yes, I have been posting here a lot lately, since I am new to modding I think its normal to encounter some problems on the way. So, I finally managed to make my weapon on NifSkope (Note: On Nifskope my weapon and textures looks ok, the following events seems to happen just after sending to CK). After creating the weapon on CK too (following a lot of tutorials) I went to test on Skyrim, and this happened: So, as you can see here, the following issues I noticed are: 1. The weapon its not attached to the char hand. (both the 3rd mesh nif and the 1stperson mesh nif). 2. Its getting a weird glow effect (wich I did not add on Nifskope) 3. The blood mesh is showing the blood texture(wich was supposed to be invisible, turning visible just after you hit someone) 4. After droping it on the floor, it became static and the physics were no working(yes, I enabled havok and collsions on BSX Node on Nifskope) 5. The char can still swing the sword, but the mesh wont move. I hate being so noob on this and come here ask for help everytime, but I cant find answers by googling it. Btw, I exported this as a nif(to open on Nifskope) using Maya 2016 Nif export/import plugin. Here the config I used to export it (just as mod page said to set) Just a note: The multiple textures in the "TEXTURES" folder was used to create and animation effect on the blade (Animated Textures Tutorial by BrettM) The effect worked perfectly, if you put on the game you will se that the animation goes smoothly. Basicly, there are 5 meshes inside the NIF files. 1 For the whole weapon.1 For the primary effect (Layer 1)1 For the secondary effect (Layer 2)2 For the Blood textures. But I think its kinda irrelevant, since the problem looks to be in another node on the NIF files.and the issues are more related to the 3D itself than the textures. Please, help...again :/

I am using an Maya 2016 NIF export/import plugin. It exports perfectly, but the mesh goes translucid on the lastest Nifskope version. Already tested on another version and goes without this issue. What can this be?

Yep, thanks for the tips I installed the nif exporter and worked perfectly.

So, I am working in this mod for a while now, After I finished the 3D and textures went to Nifskope. I followed step by step Malfazar Complete Weapon Tutorial. When I got to the part when you put the texture on the weapon, this happened: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS EXPORTED AS OBJ http://s16.postimg.org/7oz4orwyd/Texture_Problem.png Then I realized that the damn NifSkope decided to f*#@ all my uv maps up take a look what it does: http://s25.postimg.org/wrok5pku7/problem2.png What it looks like on maya: http://s25.postimg.org/cycgd07gf/Problem3.png 2 weeks working on it and then this happens, very frustranting. Please helpe me, why Nifskope destroys my uvs?

It can be found in the Skyrim Meshes.bsa, weapons\iron\1stpersonclaymore.nif. If you don't have something to open the bsa files, you can get it HERE Thanks man! It helped a lot

So, I need to open an Iron Greatsword on nif skope, but I alredy searched everywhere, and I cant find it. I checked other folders like, "dwarven", "steel" and etc. But only the Daedric weapons folder seens to show its archives. I tried to change to config on my pc to show hidden files, but still dont work. Dont have an idea on where it might be the files.

Sir You are a god thanks you so much!

Hi everyone I started my journey through modding recently, so I kinda a newbie in this area. But I have some knowledge. I have been working with Maya 2016, Mudbox, Photoshop, Unreal and others for a time now. However, modding Skyrim uses very diffente and new tools for me. Alright, I have been working on this Greatsword mod for a time now, I already finished the 3D model (including UVs). And this sword its a magical type, and I want to create an animated texture for the blade, I know its possible, in the vanilla game there is some animated weapons(like Miraak's sword), and there are several mods of animated armors and potions, the question is: How do I create it? I googled on several places, but I cant find it. Can someone point a website/video with a tutorial? Thanks!

Thank you sir! It worked perfectly :D

Hi everyone, today I started my journey through modding. After I succefully installed the CK, I could open the Datas without any issues. I explored through it a bit, then closed and went to read some quick tutorials. BUT When I opened it the second time, I could only open the Skyrim.esm master file. Any other esp. or esm. would crash at 50% or 78% (during opening it) without any reasons. There is no specific message warning, it simply says it stopped working.

Hi everyone, I have been playing Skyrim for years, and recently I played Dark Souls and loved it. I've found some armors and weapon from Dark Souls for Skyrim. But I never found the Silver or Black Knight armors for Skyrim, I know that Xinavro once did post a lot of his Dark Souls stuff on other sites, but he took down because people were stealing his work. Does anybody know if there is another place that I can get those armors? Or if anyone can convert it? Thanks :smile:
