Creation Kit Question

[Allannaa]

I'm not sure this is the place for this question -- If it is not, I'm perfectly happy to have a moderator move the post to where it ought to be.

 

I hate Skyrim's circlets.  They're ugly and clunky. 

 

So I made a circlet of my own and saved it as MyCirclet.nif (appropriately boned, partitioned, textured, etc etc)

 

Then I made a non-armour piece, and saved it as MyCirclet_GO.nif (appropriately textured, havoked - is that a word? - etc)

 

In the CK I made the armour piece and called it Alla's Circlet.  For the "World Model", I used MyCirclet_GO.nif

(I opened an existing circlet, then clicked NEW to open a blank window, and basically did everything exactly the same, except for substituting my nif)

 

I made the armour add-on, again, using the above procedure, and used MyCirclet.nif in the appropriate place.

 

I closed the armour piece, and closed the add-on.

 

I re-opened the armour piece, and in the section for the armour add-on, I put the add-on I'd just made, then clicked OK.

 

Then I saved-as "Circlet Test" because ... I have no imagination when it comes to naming ESPs.

 

I checked my load order to be sure CircletTest.ESP was checked, and loaded Skyrim.

 

I console-added the circlet.

 

BUT....

 

It has no inventory image, and when I drop it, it's invisible.

 

When I put it on, it shows; it's a little out-of-place in that it sits a bit far forward on the head, but I can tweak that later.

 

What I can't understand is why I have no inventory image and why I have nothing visible when I drop it.  I'm sure I've just done some silly nooblette thing and forgotten a step, but I can't for the life of me remember WHAT I've forgotten.

 

Please help...!

 

Thanks,

Alla

does the circlet have BSInvMarker in it...?

[Allannaa]

does the circlet have BSInvMarker in it...?

 

Reenana -- No.... Is that the nooblette thing I left out?

 

If so, does the INV marker go on the MyCirclet_GO or the MyCirclet nif?

 

Also, I should add -- the circlet does not show up in the CK's "Preview" window -- UNLESS I change the armour NIF from "MyCirlet_GO" to the "MyCirclet" NIF.

 

I'm sure this is something simple, I just can't work out what!

It was the BSInvMarker, which had to be attached to the _GO.NIF file --- and the distance had to be set to 16, 300.  Thanks, Reenana!
