miked79 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I made a weapon, thats currently replacing the Iron longsword. When i get a longsword it looks like the sword i made, but id like to have it just be an extra weapon so it doesnt take the place of the longsword...Anyone know how to do this? Cuz im not sure how! Also just a quick other question... I couldnt quite figure out why their are Ironlongsword.nif and 1stpersonironlongsword.nif...... I figured youd have the change up the textures and meshes for both these files. I thought if you didnt change the Ironlongsword.nif ... youd only see your custom work in the 1st person view mode. But that wasnt the case , I just changed the 1stpersonlongsword. And it changed the weapon in all the views of the game ( crafting forge, 1stperson view, 3rd person view) Just wondering whats the difference between the 2 files? ( why must both of them be editted it, if changing the one file does the trick?) Thanks! Edited February 29, 2012 by miked79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarons6 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) this is pretty simple. if you already have a working nif of the sword.open the ck.choose open and check the skyrim.esm click ok and wait till it loads. in the objects window click on ALL and type in filter the kind of sword you want to copy.. say daedricsword. your going to see 2 things you need to change..one is 1stpersondaedricswordand the other is daedricsword basically you click on 1stpersondaedricsword and name it 1stpersonswordname and click select the nif /data/meshes/weapons/yourfolder/yoursword.nif and push ok it will ask you if you want to make a new id you say yes.then you click on daedricsword and put in your sword name and give it an id, like yourswordwhatever and go to the 2nd tab "art and sound" select your nif again in the model and then in the drop down box select your 1st person that you made earlier.here you can change base damage and such if you wish.. then select save and make an esp.. yoursword.esp put this in teh data folder with your model in its own folder with your textures (that you pointed to earlier) and your sword is in game. all you gotta do is type help yoursword 4 to get its id code and then player.additem idcode 1 to get one Edited February 29, 2012 by aarons6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure thatll work like a charm! So thats not saving over the Daedric sword, thats just basically creating a new weapon ID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But , If it aint broke i aint gonna try to fix it! Im pleased! heheheanywhOoo! thanks again ! tOOodaLoOoO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
