Meshes?

[NickG]

Ok I'm new to modding, so sorry if I ask a stupid question or something.

 

I need help with meshes though.

I want to make a new Axe or Sword. Except when I go to open the file: "Weapons" the only folder I have under that is one that says "Iron" and the only thing in that folder are 2 meshes called "battleaxerust" & "longswordrust"

 

Where are the other 50000 swords from the game?

I want to edit from like an akavari sword or something but all I have are those 2 meshes.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Thank you.

You need to unpack your meshes before you can assign them.

And here's a link to a tutorial:

Ok.

 

Some problems:

When I install the program and run it all I get is a black box that opens line in MSDOS looking thing and then just closes.

 

I've re-installed it but I get the same results.

 

Also

When I just want to put weapons in a chest the only meshes & icons I can put in are some really weird ones.

Like "arrow" & "weighted" icons.

The only meshes I have are still the "iron" ones.

 

:wacko:

Actually I couldn't get that one to work, either. I use BSA Commander:

The mod creator's first language is not English, but IMO he could teach the makers of TES4BSA something about user-friendly interfaces. That's the trouble with free programs, it's so hard to find a good GUI. :)

[NickG]

hahaha.

 

Actually I believe I figured it out.

Here I think this actually makes Tes4Bsa work.

Haven't tested it though, exactly right now though I'm figuring it out.

I used the command prompt unpacker and it worked fine for me after i got the hang of it, there is a tutorail for making new meshes and stuff on the CS wiki: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index...egory:Tutorials .

[NickG]

Thanks Crazy Fish that's really helpful.

It's like everything I want to make is right there.

Awesome.

 

I'll see what I can make.

 

Looks like I'm having more problems.

 

(Surprise Surprise)

I was flipping through the Re-texturizing tutorial & it seemed like a good idea to start with but when I want to open the file with Gimp-win-remote or whatever it won't let me I get a really strange error saying this:

 

"Usage: gimp-win-remote.exe gimp-x.x.exe file 1 file 2..."

 

& that's it.

Any ideas?

Do you have the .DDS plugin correctly installed? And are you using the latest version of GIMP?

[NickG]

I got the plug-ins except it came with 3 files.

It came with the .DDS and 2 .DLL files.

 

The tutorial says to put everything into the Plug-Ins folder.

That's what I'm thinking is wrong.

I don't think the .DLL files go in the Plug-Ins folder they probably go somewhere else but I don't just want to drop them anywhere because there's .DLL files in a lot of the folder.
