New Weapon - 1st person model help

Post » Sun Jun 17, 2012 7:05 pm

I'm super impressed with the Creaiton Kit so far. It is FAR easier to use than any SDK I've seen in years.

I've had it for a few hours and already have a new weapon in game. Here is my problem though:

I've created a new sword. Within it's properties window, in the Art and Sound tab, under model, I've selected my model file. It shows up when laying on the ground just fine, but it's first person model is still the Daedric Great Sword it is based off of. The drop down box below Model in the Model section doesn't list my model. How do I get my model to show up there?

Once I get this figured out, I'll update the wiki to keep this from happening to anyone else.

UPDATE:
Sorry, I have been working at this for some time, and didn't just post reflexivly. I've discovered the problem. I'm still not sure where these files are, or how to get to them, but by going to *All in the Object Window and filtering for 1stPersonDaedricGreatSword, I found some sort of file which I was able to duplicate and select my own model for. This then was available in the drop down under the Art and Sound tab of my Weapons settings.

If anyone else runs into this issue and doesn't understand what I've said, post and I'll explain better. Until then, if you know the proper way to find this mysterious file, please let me know so I can streamline my workflow. Thanks!
