Weapon Modding Nif Files

[ergorapido]

I am very sorry if this is a bit stupid but, before i reset my computer i made a few fallout 3 and nv mods (not the best) but when made these:

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/47716

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/47703/#

 

obviously they are bad but as you can see they have mods on them like scopes and Knowles but when i made these i had a file with all of them on, but now i have reset my computer i can no longer find the files anywhere :( if anyone out there knows where files like that are i would appreciate it.

 

in-case you don't know:

it was a file with all the nif files and they had:

scopes

barrels

mags

and other things

 

thankyou :)

Hi ergorapido,

 

You could probably find everything you need using BSA Browser and its search function. For instance, if you're looking for a silencer mesh, type 'sil'. From the search results, you will be able to find a handful of weapons' meshes which include a silencer. Extract those, then open each with NifSkope until you find a silencer to your liking. You can then strip it off the mesh and use it for your custom mesh.

Using the method described above, I was able to find some of the attachments appearing in the the two mods you linked to:

Red-dot sight - servicerifleap.nif

Bayonet - serviceriflebayo.nif

Laser sight - 10mmpistollasersight.nif

(You can just search and extract these files using BSA Browser)

Thanks :D

But there was a file on the internet and it had like stocks barrels and clips.

Anyway thank you very much,

do you know a way to split the weapon up?

like getting the front of a 44 and putting it on a rifle?

 

thanks again :)

No problem.

As to your question: Ripping certain parts off a model, in most cases, would require editing the mesh with a modelling software, unless the specific part you need is a separate mesh - in which case you could simply use NifSkope to copy the said part and paste it in your own custom mesh, then adjust its scale/alignment to fit all the other parts.
