888mikem888 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 So, I'm trying modify Joshua Graham's armor with pieces of the Elite Riot Gear armor and Ulysses' armor. Specifically, I'm trying to take the shoulder and arm pads from the ERG and add them to Joshua's armor, and replace the pants and boots of JG armor with Ulysses'. I'm having a couple of problems. 1) I can't select specific pieces of armor from the ERG and Ulysses', it makes me select the entire body, but for some reason lets me select the arm pads and copy/paste them. 2) Like I said, I can take the ERG's arm pads and add them to JG's armor, but when I save and load my game to test it out, they don't appear on his armor in game. I'm new with this stuff, and I can't find a tutorial that helps me at all. Any help would be appreciated, and I really hope it's ok if I post this here. Thanks in advance.

You can only select them as they were broken up when the mesh was created. The reason you can take the shoulder pads off the Riot Gear is because when they built the mesh they built them as separate objects. I don't think there's any way to do what you want to do without going into blender/3ds max/etc. and separating the meshes. Sometimes you can get away with a mashup if you can overlap the two and only the parts you want to see show up properly, but that depends on the pieces involved.

888mikem888 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ok, thanks for the replies. I'm going to try to work it with Blender, as soon as I figure out how to get Blender to load .nif files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Blender master file setup on the oblivion nexus http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/12248/? has everything needed. Unfortunately the newer version of blender are not supported that I am aware of. Good Luck,Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaemonGrin Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It is rather intimidating at first I refused to use it for the longest time and used another program but its nif export was screwed and half the time nothing worked XD. Best advice play around with the cube took me forever to figure out how to select groups of verts XD press B once for drag rectangle selection press it twice for a circle selection that I find more useful. The biggest thing for me was using the right mouse button for everything I usually used with the left XD. Good Luck,Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
