Changing Securitron face graphics

[americanwierdo]

As part of an up and coming mod, I want to create unique Securitron models with a new face graphic.

 

The question is...how do I do that?

 

That's really all I want to know.

 

Just a simple question: any feedback is appreciated.

I'm going from memory here so hopefully this will be accurate, but if I recall correctly the face is just a body part for the securitron skeleton. So what you need to do is unpack all of the securitron stuff from the bsa into a custom folder, then edit one of face dds files to create your own face, use NifSkope to copy one of the existing face nifs and change its texture to your new custom texture. Then, go into the GECK, copy one of the existing securitrons, then under its model list point its skeleton to your custom directory so that it can use your custom securitron parts. Now just check the parts you want, including your new face nif.

Okay, so it's apart of the Securitron Skeleton? I'm sure I can figure out how to do that.

 

I've never done something like that before but it can't be too hard.

 

Thanks! I'll see if I can get it to work.
