LE Van Helsing Crossbow + Ammo Drum

I'm looking for some Awesome Van Helsing Modding.

I Currently use the only Van Helsing Crossbow Textures / Meshes on Nexus. which was Originaly for Obliv, its since been pushed into Skyrim. The Skin is Nice, i like it however its got some problems. once you equip the weapon its forever stuck on that toon. if you try to equip another weapon or if you drop it, like in a chest or on the ground the game Crashes to Desktop. also it lacks luster and animation. (i use J3X's Automatic Crossbow Scripts(superbadass))

 

what i'm looking for.

 

1) Realistic / Better Van Helsing Automatic Crossbow Skin.

2) Animations for Van Helsing Automatic Crossbow ( ie... once you finish shooting a clip the drum drops to the ground and either vanishes and or becomes lootable for scrap parts. like steel or maybe left over magic salts, then your toon reloads a new drum. also Gears and so forth on the crossbow itself..and when you store it on your back you have to push the "bow wings" back against the body. then when you draw or unsheathe as it cames to your front the "bow wings" unfold.) just examples.

3) Multiple Ammo Drums. ( i use a number of ammo mods. from visuals. to magic effects. i don't know how much work it would take to recreate most of those arrow mods into Drums.. i assume you could just make one Drum or 2 or 3 different sized drums and then just recolor them accordingly.

4) Multiple Darts (both Sizes and Color, some Drums only hold 4 Darts. others hold up to 20. i pictured the clips increasing in size by 4. for Example. if i used Zamfir's Arrow of Reanimation (has a chance to reanimate a dead enemy if you shoot it) i would not need a clip of 20...nor would i want to carry that many. its not something i would use often. so a drum of 4 would be enough. then i switch to a new drum (a reloading animation when a new dart drum is equiped would be needed here. i know) the new drum might be Fire Darts. with a chance to deal fire damage over time. this drum i would use by the handful so a full 20 shot drum would be needed.

5) and last but not least i would like all of it to be tied together in a neat bundle. so if i use magic arrows it increases the magic skill in the proper trees. as well as sneak or archery. depending on Crouch and or standing. so on and so forth.

 

this is no easy mod. its a lot of work. and i'm sure it would be easy to unbalance combat with something like this as well...i mean automatic crossbows are hellastrong anyhow. this is a big project. i myself have not been able to do much of anything. i recently downloaded a butt load of 3D and animation software. but i'm brand new to the modding, and know nothing about anything. i've watched over 30 hours or so of youtube tutorials. on 3dmax, blender, mara, and i still don't understand what or how they do most of what they do. i'm not an artist. and i've only just stepped into this world. so i'm looking for help. i know its a lot but i think its worth it.

i already have that one(i use J3Xs Scripts with that Skin(which is totally awesome)). the problem it has is if you try to change weapons, or drop the weapon from your inventory in first or third person the game crashes. so once you equip that weapon to a character you can never completely finish the game...or cast magic...or use a shield....or a sword...your stuck with that one weapon till deletion.

 

and also what i'm trying to find out with this one...is can i have a Moveable Parts (animated) weapon.

with J3X's autocrossbow mod you load a Farken(small barrel) with 8 arrow heads sticking out...on the nose of the crossbow. (looks a little funny) with the auto it shoots off with the first arrow....then the rest follow and you reload. with the Light version it sits on the nose. and with the heavy version it sits there. i have not been able to use his shotgun style so i don't know. my point is that his barrel doesn't rotate as it fires arrows or anything. plus it sits on the nose of the crossbow.

 

kinda what i am looking for is

1) Van Helsing Automatic Crossbow (More Realisticly Colored and Skinned)

2) Different Drum Clips(Unknown number at this time.(there are some Magical Arrow Mods i like...would love to see the Darts with the same Effects.)

3) 20 Dart Skins / Colors

4) Moving Parts Animations for Both Gun and Drums

5) Proper Ejection of Empty Clip once ammo is Depleted. (so once you fire all 8 darts s/he Reloads then the crossbow goes back to your drawn but waiting position.
