dueldragon Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello. Thank you for any help you may provide, Sorry if I may be a bit slow, I'm new to this. I want to use this sword: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56438/? To replace the normal steel sword and use certain parts from this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12060/? To replace some axes and warhammers. How do I do that? can anyone provide a step by step guide? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymf331 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 the easiest way would be to just rename the meshes and textures and overwrite the vanilla assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novem99 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 the easiest way would be to just rename the meshes and textures and overwrite the vanilla assets. If he renames the textures then he would have to edit the texture paths inside the .nif files as well. Renaming the meshes will be sufficient in this case.

But which parts should I replace? The Baron hasbaron.nif 1stpersonbaron.nif Steel has: SteelDaggerLeft.nif SteelMaceLeft.nif SteelMaceSheath.nif SteelSwordLeft.nif SteelSwordSheath.nif SteelWaraxeleft.nif SteelWaraxeSheath.nif No mention of any 2 handed weapons, and as for the sword, I guess baron.nif goes for SteelSwordLeft.nif and 1personbaron.nif goes for SteelSwordSheath.nif?

ymf331 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) i'm pretty sure the left comes from dual sheath redux, and steelsword.nif would be the one that actually exists packed in the vanilla archive. the greatsword would be steelgreatsword.nif. here is a bunch of patches that include left hand meshes for dsr, but i didn't see that sword in there. otherwise you can probably try and flip the mesh in nifskope. there are some instructions if you wanna' get into that in the dsr downloads.

BUt steelsword.nif is not there. Where is the vanilla archive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ymf331 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) nah, you put them in skyrim > data > meshes > weapons > whatever(iron/steel/etc). the loose files will overwrite whatever is in the archive. if you need a reference for which files are which without needing to extract the archive yourself, you can try this.
