Taking components from other mods to make a new one.

[TremblingBlue]

I was planning on using some weapons from weapon pack, and armour from a separate armour pack to make my own mod for personal use...and with permission, maybe release it later.

 

The trouble is, because of the way geck is, I have to use the esm file of the original mods. It means I cannot use the new weapons or armor without those esm files.

Now I've seen mods that simply use an esp file without needing esm file.For eg. Millenias individual weapon mods. It carries textures, sounds and an esp file.

I guess the main question is this: How do I take the compnents (weapons and armors) and use them without needing the old esm file?
