Hi im nearly there not quite, i had an idea for a mod basically the draugr helmet and changing the dds to a national flag UK USA etc. ive done most of the donkey work with Photoshop in creating the DDS and looks good in nifskope, so i have a nifskope file with the new texture saved and i have a couple of dds files with different textures, i used BAE extractor so i wasn't working on the actual game files and saved my nif's and dds files separately, im sort of at the point where i want to test my new texture/s in game, ive watched a vid explaining how to create a plug in, in sse edit and looks fairly straight forward, but to reference these new textures do i need to drop them in game first, someone explained the fact id need to create a new texture set, but im not sure how that differs from a plug in in sse edit, i could experiment but i want to do it right first time, rather than keep breaking the game, any help would be much appreciated

Hi Thanks for accepting me, been game playing online since the Mosaic Browser in 93 when games had to be loaded in DOS, on an Atari 520 st i soon installed a bigger module giving me 1024 (appx 1meg of ram) i think my first proper online playing game was EF2000 and it seemed to me a revolution in online games, obviously games and equipment have come a long way and a few years later {{cough}} although ive been installing mods for years i thought id have a go at creating a mod or two, i joined TES Alliance to try and get a better understanding of mod creation and assistance if available Many thanks for reading this Haydn
