Adding an item to inventory

[ArmedMonkey]

So I just realized that at some point (probably due to one mod or another) Cailan's Helm disappeared from my inventory. I'm sure I had it since I did the DLC for it. I'd like to add it back.

 

I'm new to this, but from what I can see it looks like I'd have to write a script. I tried to find the item code in the editor, but it doesn't show up (probably because it isn't a core item).

 

Can someone put me on the right track for what I must do? Thanks!

One of my helmets disappeared when i was captured by darkspawns in mine below forest and my items were taken ( i was wearing it when i enter, other items were there but helm was gone ) . Loading old safe and entering this mine again solved the problem, but i had to replay it again .... As for toolset, Cailan's helmet appear to me as Massive Helm 1B variation, and i didn't put any additional files in override folder. If that helmet was replaced by any mod, you'll still see it as model, but without textures. Try loading old safe if you have one and check if that helmet is in your inventory.

I don't really have an old save. I'm a complete noob to the toolset - can you tell me what I need to do to

 

1) find the helmet in the toolset

 

and/or

 

2) write a script i can execute to give it to me?

 

 

I'm also gonna try hacking my save from the info i find in toolset...

Find the helmet in toolset, set name and stats for it then create script to add it in your inventory. Visit this guide it will help you along the way of creating and adding it to your character - > Custom Player Items In Single Player - UPDATED

my question here- have you patched to 1.03, or installed Awakening? If so, patch 1.03 blocks certain armors and weapons. Cailen's helm being one of them. Its due to the fact that they used these same gears in Awakening, with different tint files, and it caused some wierd graphics errors. This is a pretty BIG eff up on Bioware's part.

@Azuell - thanks. I will check out the tutorial, but I still don't know how to find Cailan's helm in the toolset. It was not showing up for me when I last looked

@DarkeWolf - I have Awakening installed, but I'm in the OC. I did recently install a mod for awakening stuff in the OC though. I the helm disappeared before that though =\

Here is a fast work around your problem:

1. Download this rar under attached files

2. Place file in your core/packages/override folder

3. Visit this tutorial i gave you to learn how to crate new module and script for this item

4. Open toolset and in Base Item Type go to Helmet - Massive

5. Item Variation ... pick Massive Helmet 1A or 1B .. it doesn't matter which one you choose as long as MateryalType is set as pointed in ( 7 )

6. MaterialProgression ( set as you wish )

7. MaterialType look for Armor - Gold in drop-down menu so helm get its original outfit

8. In Variables ( almost at the end of options ) Item_set should be set to 10200 ( original set variation for Cailan's Armor set )

9. Save your item, import to game and cross fingers :)

 

And don't forget to put some stats for this helmet in Item Properties. If you use original stats for this helmet, your custom helm will be 1/1 with original in any way :)
