How do I make a seperate normal file for brotherhood T-51b?

Hi all,

I've been working on a texture replacement pack for the T-51b power armor, now I'm making a lot of aesthetic differences between the Brotherhood of Steel variant and the neutral variant(i.e. the one that isn't tied to a faction).

Now to really finish the pack I want to make a separate normal file for them both, however my problem is that by default both texture variants of the T-51b are tied to a single normal file (i.e. t-51b powerarmor.dds and t-51bpowerarmvar.dds both use t-51b powerarmor_n.dds as their normal).

 

So my question is, how do I make it so that when I make a t-51bpowerarmorvar_n.dds the game will recognize it as the normal file for t-51bpowerarmorvar.dds instead of the default t-51b powerarmor_n.dds?

In the GECK under miscellaneous you should be able to create a new texture set (the name of the file should not matter), then apply the texture set to the armour. If you do it like this then I don't think that the name of the file matters at all.
