Hlaalu guards missing mesh?

Submitted by Deathguard on

Perhaps this is an installation error, but it seems that either part of the armor that Hlaalu guards wear or the weapons they have are missing meshes. I doubt it's the armor since I can still see them wearing at the very least some of it through the mesh blocks. I haven't been able to confirm if it's just a small part of the armor or the weapons that they have equipped as whenever I get near them I get a CTD. I've installed everything that was 'Required' and most of the optional mods. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing installation wise so I doubt it's that, any ideas on what the mesh is? I can post a screenshot if someone wants me to, though as I said, it's hard to get a good shot because of the CTD.

Well, after some further testing, it appears that the shields they wear is what is causing the problem, where do I get the mesh for this? I've installed all of the "Vvardenfell Imports" twice over now, I assume it must be from some other mod that I must have skipped over in the install. Could someone inform me of where to download whatever file contains this? Thanks.

I just set the guards to use a different shield. Add this esp to your oblivion/data folder and activate it.  I'm sure this will accidentally get deleted soon, so get it while it's available.

If you get a CTD when near them then this is a critical problem. Steph's mod may be a way to continue playing until this is fixed but the Hlaalu should have Hlaalu shields so we should make a proper fix.

This is strange, as I thought we had the guard shields fixed and working properly several versions ago. It was not in Vvardenfell imports, it is something which I added later. Maybe you missed an "additional support file"?

Missed an 'additional Support file with just a single mesh (nif) it it? Most likely not. :) I've noticed that things change from one version of the esm to the next .. Look at my Winged Twilight post.

I had a simular problem and i think it was the compleat install files that got overwriten but the esp was still looking for the old mesh so he didnt find it. :)

Hlaalu Shields are present in Additional Support Files 1, they had a missing texture which was included in Additional Support Files 2.

Also here is a fix that should also add Normal Maps to the shields:
