Trouble

[MooImATiger]

im sorry for mking so many posts lately, but im just learning.

 

anyway, heres the dealio. I load a nif i edit the .dds the nif appears correct, i save the nif i put the nif on something in the TESCS i open the game i select data files, i check the box, i play the game, and then with the thing i put in the game nothing changes, say a leyawinn cuirass? still looks like a leyawinn cuirass. Anything i gotta do? help me out here! D:

i put the nif on something in the TESCS

 

So did this step work out correctly? When you doubleclick on your new armor item in the Object window, under Male and/or Female did you change the Biped Model to something like Armor\TownGuardLe\MyAwesomeCustomCuirass.NIF? Did you change the World Model to something like Armor\TownGuardLe\MyAwesomeCustomCuirass_gnd?

 

Is the change you made large enough to be distinguishable? Like if you made the cuirass just a little bit darker gray, maybe it wasn't extreme enough of a change to be noticeable to your eye when rendered in your game. If it was a problem like that, you can just modify your .dds more.

 

Did you save your mod before testing your armor in the game? If you make the change, but have the CS open and have not saved yet, the change won't be in the game.

 

It sounds like your procedure is generally sound, there is probably one little detail somewhere that was missed.
