VikingII Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hello, I have a cloth item that I want to convert in an armor item in TES. Because cloth items have no Armor stats. How can I convert it? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daledge Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 You should be able to do so in the CS, but if not you can always add enchantments, gimme a sec and I'll see if you can in the CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daledge Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 From what I've gathered you've two options: 1) Enchant it, either through Sigil Stones or the CS. 2) Or, open the clothing you want in the CS, for example, a brown shirt, on the right it says three things; biped model, world model and icon image, for both male and female. Take note of whats underneath each of these, it will either be a .Nif file or a .dds file. Next open up an existing armor model, for example, iron cuirass. Change its ID to something unique. Now modify its stats to your liking. Then in the same place it says biped model, world model and icon image. Replace these with the ones from the Brown Shirt. Now click OK, it will ask if you want to create a new form, Click YES. Otherwise your replacing all iron cuirass. Place the item in the game, save your .Esp, and your good to go. :thumbsup: I haven't tried this but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Good luck.

VikingII Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yes, I was about making that same. But I didn't locate that .nif and .dds files. 1º issue: the buttons are to small for the path, and I can't read complete. 2º issue: I read only "(missing)lotches\MiddleClass\01\M\Shirt.N(missing)" (I supouse that reffers to "Shirt.NIF"), but I do not have those folders in my oblivion instalation directory.

Deleted1848331User Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ah, you cannot find them because you have not unpacked your .bsa yet. I use BSA Commander, but you can find others to use. Also, the shirt ID is the shirt nif, if its numbered. Not sure if its not numbered, but you can try :P (IE Shirt01 is Shirt01.nif. Pants01 are pants01.nif, etc...) The shirts are in Data\Textures\Clothing, and then probably a subfolder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingII Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks a lot! another simple question: what is *.egm? I have two files in the meshes folder:helmet.nifhelmet.egm but for the others *.nif there are no *.egm files ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I believe the .egm file has to do with preventing helmets from clipping with beastfolk head shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
