Well, Add Mesh to your mod ,the best way is use ms.
If you want to add your armor by modify .txt file, follow these steps:
1. add command in module.ini : load_mod_resource = yourmesh file name
2. in item_kinds1.txt . Write your item code before this line:
itm_items_end Items_End Items_End 1 shield_round_a 0 0 0 1 0 0.000000 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
why it is important? because we need get an item from menu: cheatmenu
(
to prevent this from influence other items, you can write just like :
itm_your_itemid your_itemName your_itempluralName X X X X ...
itm_items_end Items_End Items_End 1 shield_round_a 0 0 0 1 0 0.000000 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.
)
btw, in ms. the step is similar.
open module_items.py , and find the code :
["items_end", "Items End", [("shield_round_a",0)], 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
write the ms code before the item.
