[LE] Imperial Full Helmet

[ChrisKley]

Hello,

 

so I am trying to replace the vanilla imperial full helmet. Here is the issue:

 

the other imperial helmets ( light / medium / officer ) were rather simple to replace due to the fact that they are composed of a nif file and textures.

 

and thats the issue with the full helmet: there are two nif files for ONE helmet:

 

 

helmetfullface_0

 

helmetfullface_1

 

Due to that I have been unable to replace it. I tried it with a single nif file, but the helmet is invisible in game ( as in the whole head is not visible ).

 

Thanks in advance for any tips.

 

 

Cheers

 

Chris

As you know, Skyrim has a body weight slider for characters.

For this to work, all armor and body meshes supposed to be affected by the slider have to have two files. The _0 file is the "thinnest" possible version of the model and the _1 file is the "biggest" possible version. Slider positions between the two extremes are then interpolated from the difference between the two models.

 

So if the game expects two model files with the _0 and _1 suffixes for the helmet you are trying to replace, you have to give it those two files.

However, the game does not care if there's actually any difference between the two models. If you're fine with your replacement helmet being unaffected by the weight slider, you can just use two copies of the same file.

thanks for your help! a new issue oocured though:

 

I have replaced the imperial gear with a custom armor now, sadly the officer helmet and the full helmet dont show up on the head of the character but between the feet of the actor.

 

How can I fix that?

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

Edit: I've solved the issue.... I just used the gnd nif file....
