Creating a weapon.

[caleb1117]

Hey guys, I joined a short while ago to download some mods for Oblivion which I purchased a few weeks ago. Just recently I downloaded the Construction Set so I could make some simple mods for personal use. Custom spells, armor, weapons, poisons, etc.

 

To start I was trying to make a sword with a simple 10 frost damage for one second enchantment that would not need to be recharged.

So I make a new entry under Items>Weapon

 

And enter data accordingly:

It might be worth mentioning that the model and Icon I am using for this weapon is one of Adonnays Classical Weaponry models. As a note Adonnays Classical Weaponry mod is installed and loaded, if it means anything.

Then (as you can see) I went under Magic>Enchantment and made a custom enchantment named "dispair" which has the aforementioned effect.

I then applied this to the weapon.

 

And saved.

 

Using the launcher, I enable the mod.

Then load the game with OBSE launcher. (I use mods that require it)

 

When I attempt to give myself the item through console:

player.additem 001337 1

 

I get the generic message that tells you no such ID exists.

 

Is there something I am doing wrong? If you need more information, please ask.

 

 

In addition, I can't seem to find a tutorial for such a simple task as creating a new enchanted weapon. I've made it this far through experimentation, and some previous experience modding games. This lack of instruction (hopefully) means that I have made some simple mistake.

It seems my post may have been Premature. Using information found in this tread: http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=132536

I have gotten my custom weapon into the "A Fighting Chance" shop, it works well, aside from being slow to attack, but I can fix that. My problem now is that my item has 0 charge.

 

When I made the item I set charge to 0, presuming that if the charged was = 0 then it would default to infinite. Wrong. So how do I make the enchantment "unlimited"?

You have to open the enchantment itself and edit it so that it doesn't use magic (uncheck auto calculate spell cost and type 0 into magic cost box).
