[LE] New Art Object Help

[lamburger]

After spending hours learning how to recolor the custom Flames spell I made, I've gotten most of the way through. I've made the custom spell, attached a spellbook to it, and I am able to start the game up and use it as intended. To recolor it, I found it's magic effect, opened the .nif in Nifskope, edited the necessary .dds files and linked their paths in Nifskope as well. But the drop-down menu to select the .nif in Creation Kit does not pick up my custom .nif despite it being in the exact same place as the original. I've even packed the .dds files along with the .nif into a .bsa, made sure the name was the same as the .esp that holds the spell, and moved it to the necessary path with the rest of the plugins. Nothing.

 

I've exhausted myself trying everything out, and what seems to be the solution is to create an "Art Object" that you can assign the custom .nif to that will -hopefully- have Creation Kit detect my custom .nif.

 

I have no idea how to create an Art Object. I know the function exists, but I just can't find out where it is.

 

Help would be appreciated.

You are trying to add a nif in your 'Magic Effect', the Magic Effect DOES NOT uses nifs.

What you need to do is to create a NEW PROJECTILE > add the nif to the Projectile > add the Projectile to your "Magic Effect Projectile".

It seems simple, but it isn`t :confused:

I like the idea of ​​art in computer gaming! Also, I am happy to see how new forms of art are growing, developing, and becoming considered as real art. I read some posts on https://writingbros.com/essay-examples/art/ yesterday and it was said that this art is controversial. This means that in these foundations is still passed that many connoisseurs of classical art do not perceive and do not define contemporary art.
