Moding Armor perks

[Mogymog]

Ok, so I figured out how to use the GECK, I can get the armor info.. but exactly, how do I change anything? I cant find that data.. like for example powerarmor how/where do I find the parts to like change the stats/perks it has.. the str/agi so I could alter it to my own liking. Like Str+8/Agi+8? .. I've looked over it all, so obviously I'm just overlooking something insanely simple.

Power Armor gets its bonus from an "enchant" (to use Oblivion terminology. In vanilla power armor is +2 Str -2 Agil I think).

 

When you open up a armor file, look for the "object effect" box, and see if anything is there. In the case of power armor, the window should say something like: EnchPowerArmor. That is the name of the enchant the armor uses. To edit this enchant, go to Game Effects --> Object Effects, and find "EnchPowerArmor" and open it. Editing the effect from there is pretty self explanatory.

(PS: an armor's max DR is controlled by AR, not object effects).

 

A word of warning, though. I have found that adding more than 4 enchant effects to an Object effect can cause the game to crash when you equip the item. I'm not sure why this is.

Ok in adding effects and such to armor.. Can you add an 'unarmed' damage effect to them? Or is that a tag that can only be applied to weapons? Like.. An effect that while equiping the armor gives you an extra 10dmg of unarmed

 

 

Erm.. ignore this.. I found it.. =P
