Well, I want to make weapons. How do you do it? the article just tells you the different types
- It assumes you're able to use the right mouse button, and click new (or edit, if you wish to have a base item to edit, just give it a new ID for it to be 'new') --MaXiMiUS 00:54, 20 April 2006 (EDT)
How are u supposed to create a graphic for it?
I'm kind of frustrated. I would like to make a sword, but I have no idea where to begin. Is there a model somewhere that I can copy and change, or do I have to start from scratch? I am a complete novice at this, so please explain patiently.
Is there a place I can get the item DDS and NIF files from? Also, if I want to make my own items how do I place them in the world/containers?
Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but to do your own weapons (models that is) you'd need at least two programs - in both cases you'll have some posibilities:
- First you'll need some program (or perhaps plugin) to extract the 3D-model (as a OBJ-file) from the NIF-file (the format Oblivion uses for it's models). Here you'll have plenty of posibilities:
- For Maya there is a plugin that you can use to export NIF-files straight to Maya: maya_nif_plugin
- For Blender (an opensource 3D-modeling program) there also is a plugin you can use to export the NIF to it: blender_nif_scripts
- For other 3D-modeling programs you'll have to use a harder approach. There's a program named NifSkope that let's you modify data in a NIF-file and also export/import OBJ-files to/from the NIF. My guess is it would be a good place to start reading here NIF File Format Library and Tools
- For extracting a NIF-file from Oblivions container-files (that's just what I'd like to call them; BSA-files) you could at least use Oblivion Mod Manager (this program ofcourse does so much more too)
