Upload it on some file sharing site, or directly on the forum (you can attach files to your messages if they are less than 250KB).

 

OK Gilead,

 

I've uploaded it here Draugr_Armor_Main.rar - 0.71MB hope this works never used a file share site before.

Ok, when I said to copy/paste the branch, I was talking about the body NiTriShape, not the root NiNode.

 

Besides that there's a BSLightingShaderProperty that's here and out of everything who shouldn't be there.

 

Fix that and it should work.

 

but is there suppose to come things before doing this?

Err... I don't understand you, sorry.

Many thanks!!!! Kudos and credits earned and given.

 

There are still a few minor details that bug me, but till we can use blender or the like it's as good as it gets. I'll put the file up tomorrow.

Nifskope can open Skyrim files, but you need to replace its nif.xml (in its installation folder) with this one.

Then, you can add a property to the mesh so that the game will use transparency on it. If you still want to "alpha them away", it's perfectly feasible.

 

To enable transparency, open the nif in nifskope.

Select the NiTriShape where you want transparency, right-click on it and select Node>Add Property>NiAlphaProperty.

A NiAlphaProperty node is created, change its flags to 4844 and its threshold to 128.

Select the NiTriShape again, go to the last lane of the block details and in Properties, replace None with the number of the NiAlphaProperty.

 

That's what I did to remove parts for my mods, since there's no full support for blender.

 

Oh, thanks for sharing this information. Without you, I would have wasted so many hours wondering what, what in the world happened to my Nifskope. ;-)

Thanks again for your valuable tip.

thank you for this straight forward explanation - highly appreciated.

sorry i had not the desired Transparency from these settings and i understand Bethesda nifs have this setting

flag 4845 and 0 threshold worked fine for me, thus taking transparency from Diffuse map Alpha more accurately.

:blink:

unless my nifskope is acting strange.

Be sure that if you are hiding mesh by turning the materials transparent that there is no geometry holes below it. Often times mesh components will have the polygons underneath deleted entirely because they would never be seen. Not sure if that is the case here I have not examined the mesh in great detail but, just a word of caution
