How to choose inventory image and model?

[Chaoslava]

Hey, i'm just trying to create a new unique weapon (which is basically a duplicate of the victory rifle, but with a different name, so no new models or textures)

 

Anyway, I assign the damage and projectiles to what I want, that's all fine, when I go to Art and Sound Tab, under the inventory image, I guess I need to choose the right icon to show up in game, well how do I do this? There are no .dds or .nif files in my Fallout 3 folder.. where are they?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Alright, I just cloned the Victory Rifle and edited its settings, how can I put it on someone or put it in a container?

 

Thanks.

Well: One way I have got something similar to work is to use "FO3archive" to extract the file pointed to by the original, then point the copied one to the file that was extracted.

 

Or alternatively: Click edit on the original, change the name and ID. Click ok. When ask to make new item click yes.
