Scabbards

[ecksile]

So Ive tried to make scabbards using this old information (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/NifSkope_Comprehensive_Guide#Scabbards) as well as a couple other theory's I've had but none have worked. I'm just curious with these new .nifs is it not possible yet or even at all to make a scabbard? If you where to make a scabbard you would be able to make a holster for different guns which would be linked to the gun as well so if anyone could shed some light on this i would appreciate it as i don't want to waste any more time on something that cant be done.

 

 

****EDIT I know you can make a scabbard that uses an equip slot but I'm talking about scabbards that are apart of the weapons nif itself like in oblivion.

Locate the mod for altered handgun animations. He changed the handgun holster animation to have it line up with the holster. Same principle here. You need to A build your sheath/scabbard to fit the existing animation, or B create a sheath/scabbard and alter the animation to line up properly. He actually used the holster from someone else's mod. The holsters are a clothing item, with 3 different types, each using a different body slot. The holster is shaped in such a way that nearly all handguns, and most SMG's fit into it fairly convincingly.

I am aware of this mod as well as use it. But his mod modifies the animation of the gun to fit into another item while what i want to do is modify the actual weapon nif to include a static node that has its own holster mesh in it but it isn't apart of the weapon animations wise. Like in oblivion. His animation mod uses alexscorpions model which if i remember correctly was one of the few people to have made sheaths for his swords in oblivion. He made the sheaths from scratch it looked like when i went to use his model for reference but I'm not sure i probably should just ask him. If you read this alex could you please verify this. If we could get this working it would mean a custom sheath/scabbard/holster for any and every weapon in FO.

 

 

****EDIT I... I read "Alexscorpion's page comment".

 

I am disappointment.

Some weapons use "Armor Addon"s

Those Addons are contained in a Formlist which is assigned to the specific weapon in the "Armor List"-dropdown menu in the "Art and Sound"-tab, you can take a look at it at e.g. the Power Fist.

Would that work?

 

As far as I understand it, it simply makes the character wear a certain piece of clothing when that weapon is equipped (e.g. the glove of the Power Fist)

 

edit: These weapons use addons: Shishkebab, Power Fist, Spiked Knuckles and the Deathclaw Gauntlet

Actually that might work. its an alternate way of doing it but it could work. I will take a look at it thank you.
