( Video Tutorial) How to Get Custom Weapons Into Skyrim!

[Shadowtroop]

Im having problems.

 

I can get my sword model into the game. all that data is right. But its got the wrong or no textures. I done exactly what u said in the video, and it wont show the color map, or the normals, it shows the specular map, and the eviroment map, but no colour or bumps.

 

So I remade it and now I cant get it to show any textures at all.

 

What version of nifscope did you use?

 

 

im having similar problems to this. i can get the model into the game but it shows up as all black.

Can you PLEASE make a video tutorial on how to edit body armor (get it to work in the game even after moving vertices in 3dsMax). Prettiest PLEASE with a cherry on top.

Done and done.

 

 

 

Here's the walkthrough I've promised and the mentioned script. It currently only works with max 2012 as that's the only version of max I have on my laptop. I'll convert the morpher to a max 9 compatible file when I get back to work next week. Thanks for your patience! Instructions for using it are in the youtube video. Post any comments or suggestions here if you would!

Not a problem. =) Next video will be on setting up dismember nodes correctly.

Your awesome!! Thanks loads for all this! The dismemberment nodes determine which body parts are shown/hidden when an armor is equipped right?

Exactly, Hoodz. It hides parts. Either for armor or for actually dismembering the model!
