Awesome, going to do some Modding research then (though if someone wants to go ahead and give me the low down here, then I ain't stopping you :laugh:)

There are videos on youtube that will give you directions. Just enter "port mods from Fallout 3 to Fallout NV". The instructions are the same for both ways.

 

One thing, you cannot upload ported mods without the original mod author's permission.

Hi everybody! I'm trying to port NV weapons to FO3. To be specific I'mt trying to replace the original weapons with new ones. So far I successfully ported the weapon (edited master files, put weapon files in the data folder) - the weapon is in the game and works just fine. But the animation is bugged. The mag and bolt don't move when reloading or shooting. Is there a way to edit the animations or port New Vegas animations to FO3? Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, there is no way to (easily) port new animations into Fallout 3 for weapon reloads. Fallout 3 has a set number of weapon reloads (A,B,C,D, ect.) hard coded into the game. To even add a new vegas animation would require some knowledge of coding and even if you could figure that out, you would completely replace one of the existing animations in the game.

 

I have heard of sneaky ways of doing animations for weapons using idle animations, but I dont know how that would be done.

 

When I replicated the Ranger Sequoia into Fallout 3 for my own personal use, to get the cylinder to work as it should, I used nifskope. I chopped out a 44. magnum reload cylinder with all the animations still attached and pasted it in place of the original ranger sequoia cylinder. The same can be done with FO3 weapons such as rifles or pistols.

There are some beginner's tutorials on youtube involving nifskope and its various aspects. Just search something along the lines of "Fallout 3 Nifskope tutorial"

 

EDIT:

Found this one that shows you the basics of using nifskope in a FO3 oriented way, note that your weapons will be white and have no color which is okay.
