well i guess no one here knows a damn thing bout skinning, man im really disapointed in this editor ive kinda figured out how to do custom skinning but every time i try to plop it in the construction set it freezes, theres no friggin forum i can ask about this because the only real one i can think about is the official one but thats down 90% of the time, this blows

:weird:
You need 3d studio max, or any program that can make .NIF files. There aren't many of those though.
But actually I don't know much about it, for all I care Morrowind could have been in ASCII graphics. :p
I miss the official boards too :(

you need 3dmax to do whole new ones but you can mess with the textures of existing ones with a regular editor problem is i cant get it to work right, im doin something wrong and i dont know what, posted on another forum but its not a very active one, they really need to get their act together and get the official forums back up. I'll do a repeat post of it here in case someone who knows bout this stuff happens to read it, this is beyond frustrating to me right now
arghhh its almost 3:30 am and im going nuts trying to figure this editor out to create a friggin race, i just cant get it to work with edited textures. I got the so called 'tutorial' from kathykittens site but thats really not much help.
heres what i did. I added a folder to my c:programfiles/morrowind, folder. in the Mesh folder i puta folder labeled b.
in that b folder i copied the forearm .nif file, then i dug for the lower arm bmp file in the textures on the cd and found it, edited it to what i wanted and ploped it in the texture folder in my c:program files bla bla morowind dir.
I then opened up hexeditor and replaced the instances of "Redguard" with "scorned" (my race name) i got all the instances and made sure the texture had the tx...
i then opened up the editor, went to body parts, clicked new, named it and clicked on the add artfile button... the editor then froze for a few mins and i closed it down. every time i try to add the art file it just locks up, obvioously something went wrong somewhere but i cant find out where, i follwed the instructions, whats going on? Im beyond frustrated and very tired, going to go crash i hope someone has some answers for me when i get up =(
