Dire need of assistance

[abcdow]

Okay, I've gone through using the tutorial and have successfully modded a set of armor. However that wasn't enough, I had to have a battle axe to match. So I retextured the item icon, retextured the item, edited the uti and added them to the override folder. I used the cheat to get the item, and sure enough it shows up in my inventory, with my modified icon and stats, however I tried to equip the axe, which the equip screen indicated I did have the axe equipped, however my player was still holding his swords. So I tried adding the mdl and mdx for the axe to the override as well, same result. Then i tried adding the mdl and mdx with modified names to match my uti name (with the model variation number). When I equipped it this time i in fact had an axe in my hand (as well as a sword still in the other hand, although it indicated otherwise on the equip screen), however it does not have my new texture when equipped.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, PLEASE HELP ME?

The texture won't be automatically assigned to your new item. It happens that some items need to be Hex edited, before a new tex can be assign to them. As an example Its not necesseary to hex edit an armor, but its necessary to do so with a lightsaber. I don't know about the axe, but its problably the reason why its not using your texture.

I believe the best think to achieve what you want is to follow the Lightsaber tutorial made by Achiles, likely your problem is of the same nature. Go here:
