Adding inventory Images for new weapons

[antstubell]

Hi all.

I'm new to modding and have so far made about 8-10 NPCs, 6 followers and most recently I retextured all Daedric weapons and made new super Daedric weapons. All went well in Photoshop, Nifscope and in CK I created my new weapons and used my textures. The model image was my own but in the option for Inventory Image I am lost. What image should go here and how, if I need to, do I creat it? At the moment it displays the vanilla image for the weapon. Also when picked up the new textures revert to vanilla and how do I creat a 1st person view of my textured weapon?

Advice and help greatly appreciated.

There are 2 models for weapons. the normal model (daedricsword.nif) and the 1st person model (1stpersondaedricsword.nif)

The normal model is used by npcs, and the 1st person model is used by the inventory and player. You only modified the normal model and thats why it reverts back to vanilla in inventory or when you use it.

 

To add a 1st person model go to WorldObjects > Static

There you will see a list of 1st person models. Duplicate 1stPersonDaedricSword (for daedric sword) and assign it your retextured 1st person model.

After that edit your weapon and select the Art and Sound tab. Under Model there is the 1st Person Model Object, just assign it the newly created 1st person model and you are done.

 

Happy modding!

Thanks a lot. Takes a while to do but is worth it when seen in game.
