How do I change armor models?

[Cuchon]

Hello you N'wahs,

 

I have never done anything like that, so how do I get started?

 

What I want to do is basically just change the default models of items like "Boots of blinding speed" and "Randagulfs Fist" to match the bonemold Armor set. Also, I want to adjust the armor value of the Redoran Guard Helm to match the armor value of the Redoran Master Helm.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

just change the default models of items like "Boots of blinding speed" and "Randagulfs Fist" to match the bonemold Armor set.

Open the boots of blinding speed and Randagulfs Fist in CS. Then change the body parts looking at the Bonemold boots for reference. You need to change the body parts for Foot and Ankle. You probably want to change icons and ground mesh( the model displayed when you place items on ground). To do that, click on two buttons below the stats of weapon. The one with .nif extension is the ground mesh and the other is the icon. Since those are vanilla, they are in morrowind.bsa file and cannot be assigned directly. You may have to extract them using BSA Extractor. Mind to place them in correct folders.

 

 

Also, I want to adjust the armor value of the Redoran Guard Helm to match the armor value of the Redoran Master Helm.

If you can do the above, this is piece of cake. Just change the stats of Redoran Guard Helm.

 

PS: You might want to look at Mod Maker's Manual from here-->CLICK. It covers on how the CS works which makes modding easier to understand.
