SSE Hard time using weight sliders on the Dragonplate Helmet

[Gabonza]

Hello,

Si i recently made a small retexture on the dragonplate helmet and want to add it as a separate armor. Rest of the armor worked fine, new name, weight slider, etc but for some reason the helmet always seems to be quite smaller than its original version O.o Now i made a duplicate of theArmorAddon of the Dragonplate Helmet and just changed the following.

-Changed the biped model from DragonboneHelmet2_1.nif to genericHelmet2_0 (and the female one accordingly) because from what i saw i need to select the _0 value for the weight slider to work.

-Selected the new WorldModel to match the new one

-Linked the armor with the new armoraddon

But unfortunately this is the result i end up with this

 

 

 

The left one is the original helmet, the right one is the one i am trying to add, i am trying to make it work even with a simple renamed version of the helmet thats why its not changed other than shape.
Now the example in the image is with relative small clipping of nose and hair (beard is normal to clip in the normal version also) but the orc version has almost all his forehead clipping and the orc version has just the usual 4 nifs for that and i still get that issue.

Regarding the nif files i noticed that the dragonplate has 2 different version of the normal male helmet or something, there is

dragonbonehelmet_0

âdragonbonehelmet_1
âdragonbonehelmet2_0
âdragonbonehelmet2_1

 

Why so many versions for just the male? Btw i tried either combo and it still doesn't work. Has anybody else encountered that issue? What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

 

EDIT : Interestingly enough i opened all the versions of the human helmet mesh and NONE of them have that "bent metal nose" feature. Could that mean that the Unofficial Skyrim patch fixed the dragonplate helmet and since mine has a different name it appears like the vanilla one? Could the original be so badly made? O.o

 

UPDATE : Yes, i was right, managed to find the fixed version here and the helmet works like a charm, in case anybody is working using that helmet i hope this helped you :)
