How do I remove a weapon modification menu without breaking it

[Skcyte]

First of all I'm new to modding, I'm just trying to make a weapon mod compatible with my overhauls mod. Basically to match the overhauls standard, I tried to remove a APPR entry and remove any references. But then the weapon model is invisible. Does it require to edit weapon model as well?

Do you mean that you need to stop a category showing up in the weapons workbench menu?

 

If so, take the (ma_) Mod Association keyword away from the Base weapon or Object Mod (OMod), that will prevent the category or mod showing up in the menu without breaking anything :)

Yes, but the mod actually uses it as its default template. Tried to removing it but got invisible model.

Do you mean the receiver mesh goes invisible after removing the mod association? The "receiver" mesh and p-reciever attach point are essential for a gun when following the vanilla naming convention.

The receiver attach point is where the gun receiver mesh attaches, the receiver mesh/entry has all the other attach points for the gun, so removing receiver will stop everything else showing properly.

 

It might also help, if you're making a custom weapon to strip back the weapons object template so only your mods will show.

 

If you're changing the ap attach points to new names etc then you will need the corresponding attach point keyword in the nif as well as in ck :)

Turned out it was a missing model in the receiver mesh if I delete that. Okay I think I understand more, thank you.
