UnripenedBanana Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone. Over the years I've been playing Fallout, I've always wanted to make a few personal changes to the game. Changing NPC faces or making new containers has always been fairly simple enough, but if I wanted to actually change existing meshes and make those mashups people make, is there a good tutorial for how I could do that? Furthermore, I've been looking into porting NV weapons to FO4 just for personal use, but I don't really know how. Obviously there are already a few NV ports, but I'd like to try it for myself. I've been wondering if that involves NifSkope, or if the textures and meshes can just be directly loaded into the game. Plus, there's the new materials in FO4, and I don't know what that is. Not that I know anything about meshes or textures. I hate to be a bother or waste anybody's time, but I've always kind of wanted to make my own models, textures, weapons, armors, etc. Not sure if I'd ever go that far, and I certainly won't go so far as to pay for a program, but it would be nice if anyone knew a few tutorials I could use to help me get started. I've seen a few tutorials about making meshes, but that's not what i'm doing. I'm simply trying to take existing weapon meshes and texures from NV, and find a way to get the gun to work in FO4.

xgamer468 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Maybe this helps you a little bit If you want to make your own stuff without using paid programs and assets from the game, your best option is probably Blender or the student version of 3ds Max if you are still a student. The material files really arent too hard to understand and when you are using vanilla assets you wont even have to worry about them unless you want to retexture something. Just make sure that when you are in nifscope all of the paths to them are set correctly for each of the BsTrishapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnripenedBanana Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Ok. For now I'm just trying (and failing) to add a custom radio station and a modified minigun. The minigun should be easy, but they changed some of the stuff that was in the GECK for NV so it's hard to try to adjust to the new layout of some of the information. EDIT: Well, now I'm trying to port armor instead. Going decently well so far, but I need to figure out which textures go where. The mod has a ton of armor, so I just need to figure out which diffuse and normals go where, Edited June 26, 2016 by UnripenedBanana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
