jzenterous26 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ive been working on this mod for forever but im new to modding and ive just decided to give up. ive tried every tutorial and asked questions here on the forum but i just cant get it to work. i feel like its a relatively easy mod for anyone whose even the least bit experienced with this kind of stuff but im new to it and just cant figure it out. Alright i made a retexture for the riot geat armor. it turns the boots into looking more like WWII spats/leggings and takes away the chest armor and replaces it with a double breasted red vest. i also greyed out the pants. Retexturing was no problem. but the mod requires there to be no neck guard and would look better if the collar was lower. A shin guard on the right shin with a knee guard with it and a shoulder pad on the left shoulder would look too and get rid of the hood thing around the shoulders. ive been working at this for days in 3ds max and blender and nifskope with no avail. i understand if no one wants to make it this is kinda a personal preference type mod but at least telling me how to do it would be nice. most of the tutorials out there are for skyrim or making an armor from scratch and i just want to edit this mesh. Ill include the .dds files as jpegs (it wont let me upload .dds files) with the texture including the _n file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think I have a pretty good handle on what your changing, your description is pretty comprehensive in that regard, but I'm a little confused on what is tripping you up. Could you expand on where or what part of editing the mesh that is the roadblock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzenterous26 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 well i decided to start pretty basic. i take the riot gear armor from lonesome road and apply my texture. then i load that mesh into 3ds max and get rid of the hood thingy and the neck guard. i then export it. now i have tried a couple things. i tried importing the body as well but it clips everywhere. as if the armor wasnt meant to fit over top of the body (which based on what i found about the way armor is applied to bodies in game that seems about right) i tried editing the mesh so that it would fit over the body but it looked to warped that i gave up on that and just went with exporting the edited armor without the body. ive exported it multiple ways clicking multiple check boxes based on the various tutorials ive looked at. for some of my tries i messed with the blocks in nifskope for others i just left it as is. but no matter what when i loaded it into GECK i got one of two results. when i added the mesh to replace an armor (the riot gear, that made sense) GECK either instantly crashed and closed or the mesh was completely invisible. ive gone back and tried this multiple times with multiple varieties of methods following a bunch of different tutorials with the same results. i didnt even get to attempting to add the shoulder pad or shin guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
