Plodwell Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Has anyone had the Ebony Shield (when equipped) get attached to your body, upside down? And when blocking doesn't appear in your view unless you go to 3rd person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslb11 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Has anyone had the Ebony Shield (when equipped) get attached to your body, upside down? And when blocking doesn't appear in your view unless you go to 3rd person? Yes. I did a new rebuild of Skyrim and hit this problem. The shield is mapped as a weapon such that if you draw your sword the shield will be drawn. I had a backup of my clean 1.4.27.0.4 install (no mods) - In the Skyrim - Meshes.bsa unlike all other shields (for other armour types) the ebony shield is not listed under the filepath meshes\armour\ebony\... rather meshes\weapons\ebony\ebonyshield.nif. I couldnt find any other reference where a shield for other armour was listed under weapons. Looks like a file path error for some reason. Haven't worked out a fix yet - new to BSA's...

McCoyote Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I had the same problem, and thanks to aslb11 for pointing out the file discrepancy, all you need to do is move the ebonyshield.nif file from meshes/weapons/ebony to meshes/armor/ebony/ and copy it to both f and m folders. I don't have any clue as to why this started happening. It could be any number of mods that I'm using or it could have been the last update. I did not run into this problem on the first play-through.
