Need some help making my armor mod standalone

Okay, I had a quick look and I think I found the problem.

 

For each new model you want to add to the game as armor, you need two meshes (e.g. dragonscalehoodm_1.nif and dragonscalehoodm_0.nif) so that the game can adjust the size of the model from small to large, depending on the character. As you only have Dragonscalehoodm_1, the game presumably can't deal with it and so loads the default mesh. I can't explain why it was showing in your game, but I couldn't even get the correct model to load in mine.

 

The answer I think would be to add the "0" mesh for male and female versions (so you would have four in total in your new meshes folder). It should work then.

i am a major newb and i got a question, so if i dont have a custom mesh but i do have a custom Texture that i want to be stand alone how would i go about that also, how do i get my custom texture to the new item heres what i have done so far.

 

made copys of all the armor peices i want retextured and stand alone

made a directory for the textures with the same names

made a mesh diretory with the original meshs but just renamed them

started editing one item in the male model and female model i changed the original directory to the new one for meshes

but cant figure out how to set texture directory.

and not sure if this is the proper way
