NifAlphaProperty Help?

[Halliphax2]

Hi guys,

 

Having an issue with modding and I cant figure out what it is.

 

Okay so I use Nifskope (Blender doesn't work on my PC, and I don't feel I need it) and I used this to combine two meshes, the Daedric armor cuirass and a set of robes.

 

It looks a bit like this: http://i1290.photobucket.com/albums/b533/jimjam214/Untitled_zps2825f6db.png

 

 

Now I had multiple NifAlphaProperty branches to cover up the skirt and stuff (Transparency done with GIMP 2.0) but I removed the ones I added after I noticed it was breaking the shadows on the Daedric Cuirass.

 

So I'm left with an untouched Cuirass and an untouched robe both merged together, no texture additions or mesh edits, but in the game shadows will NOT draw on the cuirass.

 

For example, if I stand under a tree or building, the shadows will draw on the robe but not the cuirass.

 

So I removed the NifAlphaProperty that came with the cuirass and now shadows seem to be working again, which is strange.

 

Also, the red glow lines that are on the cuirass dissapear as soon as I add a robe to the mesh as well.

 

Any idea whats going on?

 

Thanks guys!
