Change nif model file

[FireFlyingFox]

Sorry if I seem incorrect or stupid, I just decided to start modding a week ago (I don't know how long I can last :D). is it possible to change the nif model of an npc or creature during the game under some condition using geck or some other application?

Mabe.

I glanced through that a while ago, but haven't gotten around to experimenting with it yet. If my suspicions are correct, you might theoretically be able to activate the parts you need in GECK, then switch them on and off with that through a script.

 

Note that the function is a part of JIP Ln, so you'd need that to try it:

Again, I haven't tried it, but that seems to be the best place to start.

Even if it's possible, it'd be a lot simpler to just swap them to a different npc/creature.

 

For NPCs specifically, you can use MatchFaceGeometry to change their features, but it won't change their skin texture, so it's applications are limited. (And at the end of the day, you've already made a 2nd npc anyway.)

Learn to use FNVEdit. It's much helpful for newbies like us than GECK, despite all the tuto on Net.

 

I tried GECK for a decade without much success but FNVEdit can help you get result after some weeks~
