So there's no solution? You'd think there would be if it's such a common bug...

So I finally got sick of dealing with this problem, but I can't seem to find a fix or anyone else experiencing this issue. Sometimes (most of the time) when I try to mine an ore vein with an attack (as in I equip the pickaxe and swing it myself), the hits don't connect, and therefore render trying to mine with attacks rather frustrating. I swing and swing and try different areas of the vein to hit, but half the time I end up having to go into the animation by activating the vein. I've got all the DLC's and unofficial patches. It's been this way for as long as I can remember. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My dream mod would be a Throw Voice sound replacer. It would have all sorts of hilarious quotes from just about anything. If I knew how, I would totally do it myself. I can definitetly come up with a lot of good quotes if I wanted to. Like, for example, The Tourettes Guy. File of the Month right there.

I believe this is what you are looking for. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/34155/?

I found this guy's tutorials to be very helpful. It is in four parts that give you a good guide on the steps to take. My list of programs Blender(Free)-for making a low poly mesh. You need Blender 2.49b and plugins to work with .nif files for skyrim. (I use Portable Blender Revision 8 Cinema 4d(Not Free)- also for making low poly meshes. But i find Blender to be better. I only use it to orient my meshes. 3DS Max (not Free) is good i hear, but i would not know. I almost bought it, but you need a 3d graphics card for it to work. Zbrush-(Not Free) For high res sculpting- Very useful for creating an awesome Normal Map. Very Expensive though. (I was lucky in getting it) Gimp(Free) or Photoshop (Not free)- for colors and textures. Nifskope 1.1.0 rc4 is what i use. And of course, the Creation kit. It may seem frustrating or even impossible at times, but keep at it! There is no better feeling than killing a bandit with a weapon you made. And another piece of advice: Do not try to make a bow as your first weapon mod lol. It did not end well for me. And yes, just as Elleh said Google is your friend! :biggrin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_568907&feature=iv&src_vid=6t_yECNDXNA&v=8hYHj2Dy49s

bump? I really need help with this!

Hey, Nexus. I am wondering what the proper proccedure is to creating a custom bow and putting it in game. I will be using Blender 2.49b and nifskope. I tried to make a bow mod, but with out a tutorial on how to do it using only Blander and NOT 3ds Max, it is a little difficult. When i put my bow into the creation kit to get it in game, it looks like this: Have i done something wrong? What do i do to fix it? How do i add the animations to the bow? All help will be Super appreciated! I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hello Nexus, I'm trying to make a custom bow. But with the nexus down yesteday, it was difficult to find information on how. I think i got the jist of it with other sites and videos... but when i try to open my bow nif with the Creation Kit it looks like this: What am i doing wrong? Is it in NifSkope? Or blender? Is there a proper proccess to makeing a bow? Any and all help will be appreciated.

Hello, Nexus. I started making weapon mods a week ago. I have made three weapons in that week. But the textures for two of the weapons suck and one is just.... ehh. I am looking for some tips and tricks or techniques to texture a mesh to make it blend into the game. I am using photoshop and zbrush to texture (using the ZappLink feature). I have studied some vanilla textures to get a feel of it, and below is what i came up with. Any help or constructive critisism is appreciated. And if you have any comments on the mesh, I would like to hear those too. Thanks in advance.
