Chrome Texture Effect

Hi guys, I think i'm driving insane. I'm new to texture modding but I saw on youtube videos of weapons and armors almost completely chromed. I'm dying to add this kind-of effect to one of my armor, and it should look like this : http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/672/dassl.jpg

But there's absolutely no way I could make such effect.

What I tried : changing the dds file with photoshop, I exactly edited the alpha file in order to get it almost completely white but this did nothing. I downloaded nifskope and tried to work with it, there's a guide on the net to make what I'm looking but seems outdated or i'm mind-unable to follow it but i'll link it here anyway : http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Reflective_Metal

 

Then I tried with nifskope to edit the specular color in two different places : In the render menu, and in the BSLightingShadersProprety.

What I exactly edited are these values : Specular Color (to completely white, as far as I understood it should give the effect) Specular Strenght - Specular Power glossiness and Environment map scale. But still nothing has changed, if any of you want to look at the files I have to try to understand something more about what i'm missing just PM me.

 

PS: yes, PM me! please do that, cuz i'm trying since 4-5 hours long but still no results
