Please help me with texturing a Gatling Laser

[endomatic]

I can't for the life of me get my textures to apply to my gatling laser correctly.

 

I want to change the weapon so that the areas that are that dull red color, turn into a green glow. I'll link you to an example: Here.

 

When I went into GECK, I made my own 1st person model in World Objects>Static>Weapons

 

and applied my textures to the .nif in the Items>Weapons area that contains all the other info on your weapon.

 

I load the game up and only the backpack shows up. I can't seem to get around this. Every other single thing about the weapon works perfectly.

I tried going into Nifskope and editing it but the same damned problem occurs. Nothing I do can seem to circumvent this issue. I've spent probably over 6 hours trying to figure out this problem and I've gone absolutely nowhere.

 

There aren't any tutorials or posts that seem to cover this specific problem.

Does anyone know what I can do?

 

I am not willing to make every gatling laser in the game green. Just my custom one.

 

Please help, I'm am so frustrated with this.

 

I have 4 texture sets.

 

1stpersonLightPlasmaCannon - 1stpersonLPC (light plasma cannon).dds, 1stpersonLPC_n.dds, LPC_m.dds, and LPC_g.dds (within the Diffuse, Normal/Gloss, Environment, and Glow/Skin/Hair fields respectively)

1stpersonLightPlasmaCannon Backpack Texture - 1stpersonLPCBackpack.dds, 1stpersonLPCbackpack_n.dds, LPCbackpack_m.dds, LPCbackpack_g.dds

LPC Texture set - LPC.dds, LPC_n.dds, LPC_m.dds, LPC_g.dds

LPC Backpack set - LPCbackpack.dds, LPCbackpack_n.dds, LPCbackpack_m.dds, LPCbackpack_g.dds

 

I've tried using all of these sets interchanged (in 1st person model object and the model pulldown menu) trying to make it work and no combination of any of these works properly except for the backpack textures. They work great, but the damned gun will not retexture!

 

I've tried both LPC settings in both the 1stperson model object field and the model field within Items>Weapons. I've tried using 1st person textures in the model object and non-1st person ones in the model field.

 

Help me, please!
