Custom Armor CK crash -- cant find answer ANYWHERE

[ElSte17]

Hey guys, I am having some serious issues lately with the Creation Kit and nifskope. I have made and successfully put armor, weapons, creatures, etc into Skyrim many times but for some reason, after taking a break from modding for a few months, I have come back and run into a new error that comes up with absolutely 0 google/forum results anywhere. It obviously has something to do with the skin dismember instance and partitions but I just can't figure out what the issue is.

 

Whenever I try to load the mesh in the CK, I get an Assert error message and a CTD ( again, I haven't found ANYONE with a similar problem).

 

I can't freaking figure out the issue. Let me know if a .nif is needed to be analyzed.

Edit: SOLVED: Thanks to no one but my self.... -_- should I even tell the answer? Fine.

 

The problem was that I had always been doing a step without actually understanding what it did, so I wasnt sure why it wasnt working. For the BSSkinDismemberInstnace, if the object you are making isnt the same size/ shape as the skeleton you are riggint it to ( for example, rigging just a chest piece to an armor that includes calves and forearms) then your object will have a different number of partitions than the template .nif (if you use the oldschool way of overwriting a .nif ). You basically have to make sure that the number of partitions in the BSSkinDismemberment match the number of partitions in the branch within this block called SkinPartition or something, or you will get this error. If you have too many partitions, simply name them all to the same body part partition.

 

Confused? PM me.
