Silverfox101 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hey there, I'm trying to create a mod in which I carry a staff on my back, it will be a non-combat item, purely for looks, and possibly for some minor bonuses. Currently I have implemented it into Skyrim, but the problem is, it is attached to the hand. as an armor. so I'm casting spells from my hand, and carrying a staff simultaneously. not appealing, anyways, I know Where I want it to be equipped. I would love to be able to have it carried on my back, with the staff head coming up over my left shoulder, I know that it will have to be similar to a quiver, but with some modifications, but I have no clue how to make those modifications. I tried to make it carried like the quiver (over the right shoulder) but I was unable to copy the branch from quiver and paste it into the staff model. Furthermore, when I try to change the 3[sheild] to 4[quiver] I instead get 4[box08]. I am a total newbie to modding, and would love some input from anyone. hanks, Happy Modding!

hylskrik Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Maybe you could have a look at some of the backpack mods? I opened up one of frankdema's backpacks in Nifskope to have a look: http://i.imgur.com/y8osFMv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox101 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 see i just don't know what to change to make it sit on my back, while helpful to see how another person does it, i would like to know how to implement it into my own designs, as of now i am unable to make the staff fit on my back just hangs out on my hand, not even disappearing when you 'sheathe', but i want it to just chill out on my back like a really epic piece of equipment. is there something i can just change in nifSkope to make it do that with out having to do a whole lot of new coding? because i cant just copy paste this like other people have shown, it just laughs in my face and doesn't put anything in the other screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox101 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 ok, i got it equipped to my back, now the problem is it is at the wrong angle, it points down instead of up, and the bottom end is sticking up above the right shoulder, is there a way to modify this?

hylskrik Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I really don't know enough about this stuff to help but maybe can? He goes through how to scale and re-position a sword before importing to NifSkope. I know there's a rotate setting in the nif's properties but I don't know if those are supposed to be messed with. Skeletons and stuff like that confuse me :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
