I don't expect anyone here to be a full expert yet as development is still in early stages, but I assume someone with the knowledge of making made-from-scratch models as mounts. For those of you who are wondering what exactly it is I'm working on, I'm trying to make a nightfury model as a playable mount in Skyrim. A preview is posted in the showcase announcement(Show Us What You're Working On), just look for my name and post if there are others posted ahead of me.
EDIT : And yes, it's fully rigged.
I'm no expert or anything, but I had the same exact this morning with a custom mesh I was working with. I loaded it up in nifskope and it turns out the NiTrishapes were not named properly. They have to share the same integer. Or atleast in my case they did. Double click on the name of the NiTriShape, and give them all the same number. Also make sure the mesh has no material properties.
That said I was working with a simple chest filled with Ingots. Making a mount or armor requires Skeletal rigging I beleive. If there is no rigging, or if there is rigging and it is off, that may cause problems as well.
I'm trying to add a custom mount in Skyrim, but whenever I try to preview or upload the model into the Creation Kit, it crashes. Does anybody have a few solutions to this? Because I've seen horse armor added into Skyrim already, and this Behemoth flying dragon mod I think, or whatever it was called.
So I'm standing here pondering to myself, 'If modders can add custom creatures or horse armor into Skyrim, then why can't I do it?'
@your mum, the only existing editor for Oblivion is the TES Construction Set. You can get it off their wiki.
