jamochawoke Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Hey guys I just finished a model of a mask for one of my end-game creatures. However since I borrowed pieces from another mesh (some twisty whirly bits) I got permission for when I exported the mask objects as a single nif only one object showed up in game. So I figured it must have been that since I made the original object but imported some other objects on top of it that there must be multiple armatures and its only using one. So I loaded up the file again, deleted the armature, loaded up the vanilla default skeleton and parented the objects to that armature and hit "don't create vertex groups" because they should have already been weight painted. Now nothing shows up in-game even though the nif file looks perfect :/ Edited March 23, 2012 by jamochawoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamochawoke Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Went back and reimported the meshes. Deleted all armatures. Then I imported the original vanilla skeleton again and parented. This time I created vertex groups from bone heat. Then I deleted all vertex groups for each object except for the one for the head bone. Then I weight painted them all to the head bone. Then selected all and exported. Loaded up game... Nothing shows up. :/ :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsomartinez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If you send me the files, I will see what I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamochawoke Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well, I've got it to show up in-game although now the placement is wayyyyyy off. I'll see if I can upload the files to a 4shared or something so I can send them to ya. Do you want the .nif or the .blend file? And do you care if you get the textures as well? Just trying to figure out how to package it beings it's attached to my main mod right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsomartinez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Blend and nif. No textures is fine and I can place them in-game myself. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamochawoke Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Eh, well, the forums said you can't recieve any new messages and I'm hesitant to share unfinished work publically... but here ya go: Blend Filehttp://www.4shared.com/file/4N8Zn4lW/file.html Nif Filehttp://www.4shared.com/file/BQQ9Gx-K/file.html In between when I first posted and now... I might have been messing with the blender file and deleted the armature when I was removing a bunch of mesh pieces I was working on. And I quicksaved over it :psyduck:, So that might have messed it up further. I'm so tired now I need a break, my head's not working properly...

Anyways, what part is the helmet? I see there are ears and earings and boots. I assume you want everything on the head as the mask? Also, you have about 3-4000 thousand duplicated unused verts. Is that for a reason, or shall I clear them? Edited March 24, 2012 by alonsomartinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsomartinez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Fixed. Here is a download link - Click Click And here is a screenshot. You will have to change back the texture paths back to your own files. Also, you might want to take a look at the duplicated vertices. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h465/AlonsoMartinez2/2012-03-23_00001.jpg Edited March 24, 2012 by alonsomartinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamochawoke Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Oh look at the nif file. It has the actual helmet in it. I was just using the body to rig different pieces of gear to to make sure they were in the correct position. It's the mask, the little mohawk thingy, and the feathers around the mask as you can see in the nif file. EDIT:::: You beat me to it Oh wow that's excellent! Mind sending me back the file? You can upload it somewhere or email me at jamochawoke (a) hotmail EDIT EDIT Got it, thanks! Mind filling me in on what you did to make it work? I have done things like this before when I was working on my armor for this mod but that was last year and I've mostly forgotten :( Edited March 24, 2012 by jamochawoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsomartinez Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) The link is in my post. And can you delete the parts you do not need in Nifskope? You should be able to just remove the branch. And I did not do anything different. I just unparented everything, loaded in a new skeleton, parented everything to the skeleton, then rigged it again. It is crucial that you unparent everything, otherwise you will wind up with multiple scene roots, which will make it invisible like you described in your second post.
