Talk:Weapon

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: [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149157
