Adding new shields to Skeletons

Post » Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:10 pm

Hi,

I've been experimenting with creating variant Skeleton actors and have run into difficulty when trying to add new shields to their inventory.

Once placed in the game, the new Skeletons will equip and use their shields -- but they will not display.

I am aware that it is not possible to display new armours on Skeleton actors without editing in Nifskope but am surprised that this might be the case with Shields as they have no problem equipping Iron shields.

Is this a mesh / model issue or is it something else I might have missed in the Creation Kit?

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I've replaced their default levelled list, that only contains the Iron Shield, with a new one, containing Banded, Hide, Iron, and Steel. Each Skeleton receives one shield. If it's the Iron, they're happy and everything's normal. If they receive one of the others, I get the problem as described above.
