add a weapon to the game

[hayeseyah]

Is there a guide that teaches how to add weapons to the game?

I know how to add static objects but not weapons

 

I can create good nif files the only problem is how to put that files in the game.

 

many thanks

There is not much difference between adding a static and adding a new weapon. One way to add a static is to click a static in the object window, type in a new name, and press return. Then geck asks you if you want to rename the object or create a new one. If you choose to create a new one, then you can edit the model field to add your nif. This way, your new object has all the properties of the old one. You can edit other properties using the "edit" menu choice.

 

Add your new weapon the same way. Pick some weapon which it is close to. Copy it, add your model, and then use "edit" to change any other properties.

thanks davidlallen very useful

and now I got a problem with the nif file

 

the 3d gun In nifskope works 100%, it's fully textured, but when I try to import the .nif file in the geck in the window menu that shows the modded file, I see an huge explamation mark.

 

h*e*l*p*

when i try to paste meshes in nifskope

 

Nif versions differ

current file version 20.2.0.7

clipboard data version 20.0.0.5

 

how to resolve??

Paste from a fallout3 nif, not an oblivion one.

If you are using blender, you can import the oblivion one and export as fallout.

I have no idea why you would want to copy/paste in nifskope, it is really unnecessary.

my saver

thanks to you I bring pyffi and blender nif scrips to the party, :wallbash:

 

now I'll try to understand what blender wants. I've imported the textured gun from 3Ds

[Quetzlsacatanango]

I'm sure there's a way in 3DS, I just don't know it.

[hayeseyah]

3DS is ok it's the only allied

nifskope and blender are the enemies

 

blender is little better, with it I've ported successfully the model in geck window, gun looks great it's fully textured, but it has no axis so I cant move it. cr*p

First mod an easy one to start to understand how things works, it's a combat shotgun with an huge .357 cylinder replacing the drum...and...
