Learning NV Nifs and modding:

[Archduke_of_Landsee]

Trying to make some new armors, but the gloves are different nifs, yet are part of the armor in game. So how do I change/remove/add gloves to my armor?

Best to use another model as a starting point.
I normally don't mess with creating meshes tho.
I can use Nifskope & gimp2 to edit textures lol.
From what I can see in nifskope they're parts.
You build them that way so it can be altered.
Its not modding but rather Modeling not easy.

I'm more or less doing mashups in nifskope is what I mean. The issue is I take the NCR armor, change it, but in game the gloves are still the same wrapped style and I'm unsure of how to use different gloves on the armor if that makes sense.

[Exvalcore]

Are the gloves part of the outfit or do they have their own nif like Power Armor does.

Like the power armor gloves mod replaces the T-51b & other armors with metal gloves but the outift nif is missing the actual glove it uses its own file.

[Archduke_of_Landsee]

Yeah most outfits seem to use different nifs for gloves than the main outfit, so I'm trying to figure out how handwear is plugged in or assigned.

[Exvalcore]

By the esp! open up creation kit & you'll see when you go to the armor data under model.

I'll check 1 sec., okay no its different here, its handled by formlists.

Id ArmorPowerT51b under biped model list it points to the gloves it uses.

Just create a formlist for the gloves your using & call it from there.
