Dambuster Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I haven't done any modding since Morrowind and I'm not wanting to do anything ambitious. The thing I want to do is replace the Imperial sword in game with another for all Imperial soldiers. Not by retexturing it myself but replacing it with another weapon from a mod. What tools do I need and how do I do this? Sorry to be so dumb. A link to some simple tutorials is fine. Just though I'd ask here for straight to the point advice rather than the misinformation I will gather elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooofbaer Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) That's pretty simple to do. Your replacer (X) should come packaged as meshes and textures. Find the name of these corresponding files for the Imperial sword (Y). Now all you have to do is rename X's files as Y's files. Then copy-paste the renamed X files to the place that their corresponding original (Y) versions are. Voila. Basically, you're telling the game to regard the files you downloaded and renamed (X) as the Imperial sword, instead of the original Imperial sword (Y), as the real Imperial sword. Search in your /Data directory, in both /Meshes and /Textures for the original files. P.S. NB -- don't forget to copy the originals (Y) to another location. That way, if you want to use the originals again, all you have to do is copy-paste them to their original places.
