How hard would it be to create a standalone armor set that's just a retexture of a base game one?

I've never used the GECK or anything before but I really want to basically make a T45d armor but with the NCR decals of the Salvaged Power Armor on it. I know there are miss that replace the Heavy Trooper's armor with something sorta similar but even then the armor has a sort of desert camo and what I'm looking for/to make isn't a replacer but just a standalone piece of armor. Does this exist? If not would it be hard for me to make?

Not that hard. You'd need to extract the meshes of the armor you want to retexture and point them to new texture paths, then copy an existing armor from the game and point it to your new meshes.

 

If you're not in too much of a hurry I could release a framework mod with instructions and stuff on the Nexus tomorrow :smile:

If you could that would be awesome and much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Also would anyone happen to have the NCR T51b mod? I've seen it on YouTube but the mod was listed as hidden now.

[Jokerine]

I don't have that mod but it seems like its meshes and textures are available here.

 

Anyway, it took me like two days to write this standalone armor tutorial, but it's up now and you can download it from here. Hope it helps :)

Thank you so much! I'm getting to work on it as soon as I can. Just a question after looking over your pdf really briefly (so if it's there I probably missed it) but how would I reassign the textures like you said?

[Jokerine]

...that's like, explained there in the tutorial, under Nifskope work.

Ah figured I missed it, I only had time to briefly scan it. Thanks again!
