Armor add-on help

[LordChauncy]

So I decided to fool around in the CK the end goal was to replace the flight cap armor add-on under the Combat Helmet with the BoS hood.

 

I've seen this in a fair few mods and instead of downloading and adding yet another mod i decided to do this myself.

 

So i deleted the flight cap from models, and create a new add on from the BoS hood (so i don't mess up the original) and change it to cover the same area as the flight hood (just headband).

Add it to the index save log in to game and blammo just the hood shows up.

Oh noes, so I change it back to the flight hood aaaand now only the flight hood shows up.

So now I need to get the Armor part to show up.

Is there something with the order in the addonindex?

 

Worse case scenario I could just change the combat helmet in a mod further down my load order and that would override and fix it right?

Any guidance would be appreciated tho as I would like to fix correctly instead of just over writing it further down.

Thanks

Ok so i played around in the CK more and got it working apparently you have to validate forms after you make changes like that?

I don't recall ever doing that in the GECK.

I got it working with the BoS hood but unfortunately it clips through the top of the helmet so I put it back to the flight cap underneath.

Just figured I'd put the solution in case someone is as bad as me a modding :)

I'm at work right now so I can't fully visualize what you were trying to accomplish but I think you would have had a much easier time, and avoided any clipping, just doing it all in nifskope lol.

At MOST you might have had to reskin and deform in outfit studio (not sure without looking at the meshes you're talking about).

Yeah i really should dl nifskope again.

I got it back to normal anyways so ill probably just leave it.

Been a while since i used nifskope or tried to putz around with my own mods.

New Vegas was the last time i attempted anything like that.

The CK is a bit different than the GECK.

Just dont have the time that i used to lol

Thanks for the reply tho
