1SupremeBeing Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I am trying to make a helmet using one already in game. I'm using Creation Kit. I've tried twice and I can't get it to show up in game. I want a Draugr Deathlord helmet. I couldn't find the exact one so I'm using the Helm of Yngol. I was following a tutorial which says my helmet should work. These are the steps I followed. My first attempt I duplicated the Helm of Yngol, then changed the value to 5000, the armor rating to 50, the race to default race, the name to Deathlord Helmet, and the ID to DeathlordHelmet. When it didn't work I changed the keywords to make it Daedric, and added forging at regular & skyforge. It still wouldn't show up and I couldn't forge it. I removed it from the game folder so I could try again. I thought maybe since the Helm of Yngol isn't a wearable armor in the game that might be causing a problem, so I duplicated the Daedric Helmet this time. I changed the World Model to the one for the Helm of Yngol so that it would look like it. I changed the Name & ID like the first one above, & the armor rating to 50. The tutorial said all I had to do after the mod is created & installed is use the console commands to get it. I typed "help deathlord" then hit enter. All I got was Draugr NCPs. I typed "help deathlordhelmet" then hit enter, but got nothing at all. According to the tutorial I should have gotten the helmet I just made so that I could get the ID for it. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianerding2 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I will give it a try:When using Console to get your helmet, do not search for the Id-Name, search for the Ingame-Name!When smithing you need to create a recipe to make the helmet and a recipe to temper it. Is the helmet marked "playable"?Have you activated your mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SupremeBeing Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The helmet is marked playable and the mod is activated. I haven't learned how to create recipes yet, so that will be my next step. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 If the Helm of Yngol isn't a wearable armor in the game ... you will never be able to make it wearable. This mesh isn't set up for it. It is most likely a static item. (haven't looked) Other than that this is as simple as editing a helm and recipe with a new name (yes, on make a new form) then aiming the mesh at the helm you want.

1SupremeBeing Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Can you walk me through that? That sounds like what I tried to do with the Daedric helmet, but I don't think I did it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huillam Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 According to the wiki it's playable.First thing first you'll need to be certain that your helmet exists. Open the console and enter (with the quotes): help "deathlord helmet"If it's here then you have to add the recipe. In the CK duplicate RecipeArmorDaedricHelmet & TemperArmorDaedricHelmet.Change the IDs and in the dropbox labelled "Created Objet" change ArmorDaedricHelmet to DeathlordHelmet (or RainbowUnicorn or anything you used as the editorid of your helmet).

1SupremeBeing Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) That doesn't sound too hard, thank you.The main problem I'm having is that I can't get it to show up in the console. The esp file shows up in my list of mods and it's active. I'm beginning to think CK doesn't like me. Okay, after creating the recipes the way you said the helmet works ingame. I can now craft it at the forge and upgrade it at the workbench. Thank you so much for your help! Edited July 22, 2016 by 1SupremeBeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I can't seem to find the RainbowUnicorn :wallbash: :huh: :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1SupremeBeing Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Now I'm having a new problem with the helmet. When I put it on it is invisible and I'm bald. Anyone have any clue what could be causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Make sure the helm you're using is a helm that is wearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
