Adding new custom items

hey guys, well. im i want to add custom items into the game. picture and look wise. not talkin bout the .shn .

i dont want to edit the color of already used items either like i mean from scratch. and i cant manage to figure out the order..

i have Blender, NifSkope, 3ds, & Gimp,

i know im suppose to import the DDS into the nifskope, but i cant cuz the DDS cant be imported.. only so maybe im doin something wrong? or missing something.

any information would be much appreciated. thank you for reading.

far from me want to burst your bubble but you have to edit shn files if you want add Brandnew items....

your says are contradictory.



i'll try to explain you how it's works.


1st : you create an item or leak one from somewhere.
2nd you create specifics rows in .Shn files to add your new item
3rd you launch all services
4th you launch your launcher
5th you type your Id then click on Ok/play
5th wait for the gmae load then chose your serv
6choose a char
7th type in the chat box &makeitem [InxName]
8th enjoy you brand new item O_O
..............................
ok i stop make fun of you. Let's be serious.
Hm, the DDs can't be imported ? :o

Code:

---

NiTexturingProperty
--NiSourceTexture
----NiPixelData


---

I don't know if all GFX need to do so but actually you need an already item to create brand new one
for instance you need some specifics Ninode - Scene root to have Enhancement Glow effect. ( that may seem stupid But o me it's wast of time to re-create something already done)

Or simply i misunderstood what you want.. in this case just ignore my post XDDDDD.. or explain what you mean


wait for a Real GFX like Ragezoner :o you'll have all answers.. i guess

lololol! well i know about the SHN part.

im talkin more of the GFX part. i understand the enchacment glow effect stuff. i know its better to use that. but i mean i cant like input my own image, for me to make the item. so like for example.

i want to make a new set of skins, and yet i cant import the dds cuz it isnt in a dds format.
so im asking how do i make it a DDS. so i can import it to the NifSkope.
hopefully this is more of an explanation?XD

own Image ? you mean: Icon you can see ingame? or the texture of the Item ?
i'm lost xD
