Help with a belt

[born2bkilled]

Hi!

 

i am trying to make a belt as an armor add-on and i am having a real nightmare getting it to work. CTD when equipping the item, regardless of which slot i try to use. ( ive even been trying to use the BODY slot, just to get it working, but still nothing)

 

i am using 3dsmax 2012 and somuch morpher, but it gives me weird shaped meshes when i try to change from heavy to light male before exoprting.

So i have been using somuchmorpher just to rig and skin the belt properly with a pre made mesh for model_0 and model_1. (both made from the same model, just scaled and reshaped to make it smaller, so all the verts should be the same)

 

ill admit, i know nothing about making armor, at all. and i have tried everything i can think of to make this work. ive tried all the different forum posts and tips about making sure all the dismemberment slots are right, but it still refuses to work. i am finding it very hard to get to grips with armor models and skinning.

 

all i am after is a belt for male and female that works with the weight slider and uses an armor slot 44, or any slot that doesn't conflict with backpacks, cloaks or bandoliers. its not even a very good belt, just a chopped part of the thieves guild armor.

 

if anyone is willing to have a look at these models for me, i would be forever grateful, and would give kudos and credit the helper in the mod release page.

there is only the male models at the moment, if i can get a working set of male models, i can probably work out the female ones on my own.

i just dont understand what is wrong with my meshes!

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, though i am not expecting a massive response. its not exactly fun work!
