lylesloudmouth Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 what im looking for is advice. i just started goofing around with Nifscope and am interested is making a static out of the CivilWarCatapult01.nif. through trial and error i figured out how to delete blocks off of entire meshes and have had some success using the new models ive created in my mod. but those have been with normal statics. so with the catapult ive managed to get rid of the projectile no problem, and in saving my.nif as a new static, get it to appear in game w/o the activator. cool. but i cannot figure out how to get rid of the flame effect. ive also read how to get rid of the collision geometry and know how to make primitives in the ck (for my catapult, this wont apply, but just to be clear where im at skill set wise). i plan on learning how to make the actual geometry in Nifscope...or will that be in blender??...eventually. but so far all my knowledge revolves around simply deleting things in Nifscope. and not around manipulating the nodes to create new things or modify existing ones, which id really like to learn. eventually. catch someone a fish, feed them for a day. if one of you talented forum goers wants to make this. go ahead. id appreciate it. if on the other hand someone is interested in kinda laymans terming an explanation on how to get started with this (the fire effect mainly cause thats where im at in my silly project, annnd the basic manipulation of the program overall if youre feeling frisky)... you know the end of the analogy. ill just add that im well aware of the existence of the wikis and im sure there are plenty of tutorials available that i just have to google. ill also say that the way that my brain works with stuff like this proves difficult for initial learning. i dont start well with introductory tasks. i NEED a bite of the main course before i even can think about the appetizer dishes, or else i have serious trouble staying interested and henceforth relating and learning. i just feel bad asking things like this on the forums knowing that the information is out there. its just that history has proved that sifting through tedium to get where i want is not the way that i wind up applying myself.... as always thanx in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
