ELDER SCROLLS WRESTLING! (just 50 glitches away...)

[burb]

FIrst off, thanks very much to everyone who advised me on how to work Nifskope on this forum. Much appreciated.

Bad news from Kvatch, they say there's a wrestling mod being created but there two bugs that I can't seem to get round. Basically, i'm making an "extreme wrestling" mod for Oblivion (if you know what a TLC match is, then... that, basically). So far, ive made a ring with accurate collision and a steel chair weapon (in a day and half - i'm pretty pleased).

THE PROBLEMS ARE:

 

1) As you can see from the pics, depending on my POV, the floor, and ropes have a habit of diappearing, leaving me hovering in mid air. I've even put an additional copy of the floor slightly underneath the original to try and cheat my way out of this. I've looked everywhere, changed the textures, the Z axis of the ninode, and can't see what i'm doing wrong.

 

2) The Chair. I knocked it up in 20 minutes and was very pleased. Never made a wep before and loved the promise of the equipped shot in the inventory screen. Then, when i got back to game, my guy gets a stiff shoulder . i.e. He tried infinitely to reach for the chair on his back and only gets halfway through the animation for drawing his weapon. I made the weapon a 2h blunt, 2h sword, dagger, etc. All of them saw him unable to get it out. I even changed the nif from a backweapon to sideweapon and it made no difference.

 

I'm sure this won't be the last time i ask for help as i want to have a lot more stuff and a complete modern arena with spectators wearing wrestling t-shirts.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

 

P.S. I even tried making a spell to conjour up the chair (in place of the Deadric Claymore) and made it an Ability, but it doesn't appear in my inventory when mod is active. : (

Ah for your first problem: you need to reset the bounding box of each mesh. This is done in your 3d app (like 3ds max or maya). I'm not sure how to do it in any other app but in 3ds max you just click "utilities," then "reset x form" then "reset selected". It may be similar in whatever you're using.

This will reset that little white box around your mesh. Then, you just export it again, and that should be it. For your second issue-- I dont know how to help cuz im not really clear on what the promblem is exactly. Does your guy freeze?
