Missing Dragonplate nif file for Male

[braigus09]

I was on the process of editing my follower mod's unique armor texture in nifskope. His default armor or outfit is Dragonplate. I was searching through the meshes folder but I can't find the nif file for dragonplate for the male model. All I see is the female's. I opened my CK and the model was there but when I open my meshes folder under armor/dragonbone the nif file is not there. How can I edit the texture if the model or nif file is not there to begin with?

 

Can I have a source file for Dragonplate armor male? Just the nif file. I can't really edit it without the model.

You need to unpack skrim.BSA

 

Find a BSA unpacker of your choosing and then unpack the meshes. Find the .nif your looking for and alter it.

 

Alternatively, you can just create a new .nif that you want to replace with, find the file structure for it in Skyrim ( something like meshes/armor/dragonplate/dragonplatemale.nif or something ) create that file structure in your skyrim directory, and add it in. Skyrim will always use the file structure to show models in game over skyrim.bsa, this is how file replacers are made.

 

Good luck.
