Omod nif not showing on custom power armor (A bit of an update, but mostly a cry for help)

[SandMouseAnarchy]

i've been having trouble with getting an Omod to show its Nif model when wearing custom power armor.

The Omod nif shows up when not wearing the custom power armor (it shows up on the furnature object) but it disapears as soon as the power armor is worn/equipped (it doesnt show up on the armor object)

 

if anyone can point me in the right direction or offer offer some help or advice on this itd be masively appreciated ^.^

 

Here is the SLOW progress towards finding an answer...

 

 

To test that i can add Omod nif models to things, i started by adding a teddy as an Omod suppressor for guns...

The teddy shows up sucessfully.

 

so repeating the same process i added a teddy as an Omod for the vanilla power armor...

The teddy shows up on the (furnature object) vanilla power armor. The teddy seems to be attatched roughly where the C-Misc attach point is in the power armor nif.

Its a little hard to see, but the teddy shows up when wearing the vanilla power armor. Although it isnt correctly synced to the character's animation.

and for some reason - when wearing the power armor - the teddy is now attached at a different place than in the picture above.

 

after somewhat sucessfully adding the teddy to the vanilla power armor - i repeated the same process to add the teddy to my custom power armor...

But this time i made a test t-45 chest piece to add the teddy Omod to, i then removed all links in the t-45 chest piece to any nif or model so that the chest piece itself wouldn't be invisible in game...

For some reason - even though there is no link to a chest piece model/nif in the armor or armoraddon records - a t45 chest piece appears on the (furnature object) custom power armor when its not being worn.

the mysterious chest piece is also called t-45b torso, when the name on the armor record is something like "teddy test".

i have no idea why the game is showing a chest pice or how its doing it when i havent linked it to a nif.

The teddy does show up on the custom power armor (furnature object) when not being worn.

the teddy is also not in the same place as in the vanilla power armor test. (the C-Misc attach point)

Unfortunately though, when wearing the custom power armor the teddy disapears.

the mysterious t-45 chest piece also disapears.

 

Im pretty stuck for ideas at this point... the most likely answer is - that something is wrong with my custom power armor nif - maybe a mistake with the attach points(?)

but then i cant figure out why that would end up spawning in a t-45 chest piece?

 

here are the records on CK...

This is my custom power armor frame.^

This is the teddy test Omod, miscmod and recipe. ^

This is the test t-45 chest piece i made for the teddy Omod to attach to.

as you can see there should be no model/nif for the chest piece to be visible ingame.

you can also see that the chest piece should be called - "test armor teddy piece" not "t-45b torso".

 

 

something very very wierd is happening here.

im not sure whether to keep at it or call in an exorsist.

 

 

any ideas guys?

i really would apreciate any info ^.^

I experimented a little more and found that the teddy Omod will show up on my custom power armor - if i build the teddy Omod for the vanilla power armor chest piece.

the teddy still doesnt sync with the characters animations though.

(Custom frame, vanilla chest piece) ^

 

this seems to show that - pointing to a nif (with a bslighting shader property) in the armoraddon record is essential for an Omod to show up when the power armor is worn.

next ill test a visible custom armor piece and see if the teddy shows up when a nif and bslightingshader properties linked.

 

straingly though, the teddy again doesnt appear in the same place as it did when tested with the vanilla frame and vanilla chest piece.

 

 

if any of you guys can help and tell me what im doing wrong, id really apreciate that haha.

ok, yet more experimenting and ive come accross a whole new problem that might need its own thread, but ill post here too incase it helps anyone down the line or incase anyone can help...

 

I've altered a t-45 chest piece (cut most of the mesh away apart from the back - for testing)

the teddy shows up on the new custom chest piece - so it does seem likely that the nif and lighting properties are required for an Omod to show. (still no animation sync yet though)

 

the problem is now that everytime i exit my custom power armor with the custom chest piece on - it shows the vanilla chest piece on the furniture object (power armor when not worn). i have no idea why? again, noting in the nif or armoraddon record points to the vanilla chest piece - only my new custom one.

Custom chest peice showing when wearing the custom power armor. ^

then for some reason the custom chest piece model changes to the vanilla model when not wearing the power armor. ^

 

Does anyone know why this is?
