SpartanISW108 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I modded a long sleeve combat armour variant for the Talon Company mercs, I've integrated it into their armour lists, both "Talon2armor" and "Talon3armor". The armour in question appears in game on the NPC's correctly as it should do, but when I try to loot it off of them and try to equip it my current armour becomes unequipeed (like it should) the new armour flashes, as if it was being equipped, then it doesn't have the square by it to say it's been equipped. So then I end up with a character who's in his underwear shooting Raiders. Also the checkbox for "Playable" IS checked. Please help me, I've tried everything. The mod doesn't have any masters other than Fallout3.esm. Everything else about the mod works as it should. It just doesn't want to be equipped. I encountered a similar problem with this mod (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/18493) in which I couldn't equip it after completing Tranquillity Lane. I was never able to remedy that issue however as I couldn't find anything in the MQ04 files that would stop me from using the armour. Any help would be much appreciated.

prensa Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) ilyasw - Hello! Odd. So you've ticked playable. What about the "Biped Object" setting, have you changed that? For combat armor it should be the "Upperbody" slot & no other. Though that shouldn't auto unequip the combat armor, it would just unequip anything that was in the highlighted slots listed for it. Have you got any mods that affect clothing at all? A mod the auto equips some item possibly? If so, try running with them unticked & see what happens. Hope this helps!

blove Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Make sure that ithe armor does not have a script of some kind attached. You might want to check the Biped Model List associated with that armor and make sure that it does not contain any armor add-on that is using the Upperbody slot.

SpartanISW108 Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I have gloves as an armour add-on, does that mean on the actual armour I shouldn't have left hand and right hand ticked? as each glove has their respective hand ticked already. I used a form list ton add the gloves by the way. EDIT: It works now I've unchecked the Left and Right hand markers from the armour set. Now can you guys help me with the helmets? I am using a retex of the Winterized combat helmet from Anchorage, except I've made it without the Anchorage requirement, the helmets work properly, it's just that people's faces clip through the mask, how would I fix this? If I absolutely HAVE to have an anchorage requirement I will be able to do that Edited December 25, 2012 by ilyasw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 ilyasw - Hello! "EDIT: It works now I've unchecked the Left and Right hand markers from the armour set." Glad it works now. :) It was probably clashing with the pipboy, that's why it worked on non players & not the player. Outfits with gloves tend to lose the one on the pipboy arm for the player & the pipboy can't be unequiped. "Now can you guys help me with the helmets? I am using a retex of the Winterized combat helmet from Anchorage, except I've made it without the Anchorage requirement, the helmets work properly, it's just that people's faces clip through the mask, how would I fix this?" Have you, in GECK, gone to "Character" & selected "Update Facgen Model Availability" then saved you mod? If that does not fix it & you've just used a vanilla model with a retex, get that Winterized combat helmet's .egm file & place it in your new Helmets folder. Make sure it is named the same as your new helmet, for example: MyNewHelmet.nif The .egm would be: MyNewHelmet.egm That should fix the helmet. Hope this helps!

It's not in Anchorage-Main, so that must mean it uses a Vanilla .egm, how would I find out what .egm file is being used by the masked helmet? Also the clipping through face problem happens to NPCs as well as my Player, I'll try your "Character" saving stuff now though :) EDIT: Picture for reference Edited December 25, 2012 by ilyasw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
