Skeleton wearing custom tex'd armor

[DsoS]

How in the world do I get this skeleton of mine to wear this custom tex'd armor?

I place it in his inventory but he does not equipt it, like other npc's would.

Where am I doing this wrong at? (I know it can be done, since MMM or Frans does it with their skeletons!)

Okay the armor the creatures would wear are rigged to their skeleton, so the armor is specifically setup to work with them and is not added in the inventory tab, rather it's added in the Model List tab.

Look in the CS in the Creatures section for DarkGuardianSanctuary, you'll see what I mean.

I'll check it out when I get home.

I'm guessing that it wont' be a easy thing to do then? I would have to use a model program to add my armor to it, then use nifskope for the textures, or something like that?

The armor I retex'd is vanilla Glass. the only part that I want the skeleton to wear is the Curiass.

Would anyone be willing to make me a skeleton using the Glass curiass, please?

It is actually not that hard, though if you don't know how to copy rigging, then it can be.

Its been a while since ive done it...

Is that done through nifskope? If so i might be able to do it myself. Thats how im doing my cluttered food plates mod.

nope through blender: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Creature_Meshes_101

theres a piece on weight painting in there, thats how i learned to do it. its a long process with a lot of trial and error.

:/ I don't have time for blender... I've tried many times to learn it and, every time, I can't even get that square into a circle or cone, etc.

Thank you though

PM me the file, this is a pretty quick job and I can re-rig it to the skeleton for you.

The biggest problem is, the skeleton falls appart when it dies, anything that crosses a bit where the bones seperate will be stretched to infinaty. So if your mesh covers the shoulder to arm it wont work, or torso to head. Anything other then that i will have no problem re-rigging it.

This has been dealt with.

Admins can close this if they decide to.

Thank you DaMage

Glad things are sorted. Closed per OP request.
