LE Two Questions - NPC Face Texture and Creating an Outfit

[RadoGamer]

Hello Folks, needless to say I've been hammering away at finally creating a standalone follower. There are two issues that have presented themselves to me and I can't find any obvious answers on the internet and I've searched every possible search term I could think of. Soooo,

 

The first issue is textures, I have everything I need and the body looks good but the NPC head is just a bit darker (Yes I've done the F4). I've seen tutorials on CharGen use and NifScope file location editing (that seemed the most likely way) but I want to keep the NPC head and not change the meshes just simply apply the face textures I have that match the body. Is there a way to do this?

 

Second I have textures and meshes and the file structure to add the armor I want to use but, I can't seem to get a handle on creating the outfit and armor in the CK. I know I have to create new entries in the armor and armor add-on area but I'm a little unclear on the complete process, then I want to create an outfit with the armor I add to the CK so the Mod can use them.

 

If someone could point me to a tutorial or place to find the answers to these questions I would appreciate it a great deal.

 

Thanks

Found the tutorials on armor in the forum, a bit incomplete but helps, funny that they don't show up in searches in the internet including the YouTube ones. Any and all texture tutorials are for objects not followers or NPC's so no help there.

 

Onward in my quest......

 

For anyone else wondering the same thing about the texture question the closest I've come to a comprehensive tutorial is Skyla's on you tube. I recommend it becomes a part of the tutorial list. This is an excellent tutorial on Standalone Followers CharGen or Vanilla.
