Can't Pick Up custom Cuirass...

[JoshQuake]

I'm following this guide: guide

 

When I try it ingame, I can see the armor, but there is no collision and I can't pick it up.

 

.blend, dds, and _n.dds provided.

 

Lhammonds I need your help again. lol

That's because you do NOT point the world model to the same model you actual wear.

 

You need a World Model (a.k.a. Ground Mesh). They are typically named "cuirass_gnd.nif"

 

You can use a substitute or simply slice-n-dice your cuirass/shirt like the vanilla armor/clothing and wrap it up with a collision model.

Yup. I was just looking at another thread with pics of a custom cuirass and it had the ground model. I then realized what I did wrong.

 

Thanks again.

Just in case you need it, here it is.

 

 

 

EDIT: I made like it was a cuirass object but if it is more like clothing, you might want to use a soft body ground mesh that comes with the game and wrap your textures on it.

Yeah I'm just using the default leather gnd model.

 

I got another question. The tutorial on the cunstruction set wiki for a custom cuirass doesn't tell you what you need to do in Nifskope. It just says "It's nifskope time" and then nothing after that except for how to apply the textures using Nifskope, which by the way, is not helpful what so ever.

 

Where can I find tutorials on the Nifskope part?

I think what the author meant by "nifskope time" was just configuring the texture path using NifSkope. There isn't much to it and once you've done it, that part of the tutorial will make more sense to you.

 

For a more detailed tutorial on changing those paths, take a look at my tutorial which talks about fixing hard-coded paths but works just the same if you need to make updates.
