Note: you also have to apply this fix to 1hpholster.kf, or the speed loader will still be visible if you equip a holstered revolver. But you get an endorsement because I've been trying figure this out myself for years, for both F3 and NV. Good job!
Big endorsement from me here. I've been looking for a fix for this annoying glitch since the game released. I even tried to make a fix myself with no luck. Thanks Prensa
This affects that annoying speedloader glitch and nothing else, right? No animation changes, or anything that would affect gameplay AT ALL? I just really want to make sure, sorry.
"This affects that annoying speedloader glitch and nothing else, right? No animation changes, or anything that would affect gameplay AT ALL? "
The animation for the revolvers is altered to correct the speedloader glitch, that means changes to revolver reload, equip & sneak equip .kf animations.
Those files will affect only the revolvers that have the bug & will work normally with anything else.
No gameplay, stats or anything else will be affected.
The only possible clash would be if you use an animation replacer that also replaces those particular animations. In which case whichever mod is installed last woul overwrite the others animations.
Great, I never did figure this out, but it has bugged me for years, was afraid to edit the meshes, on a vanilla item so I let it go. Thanks man ... for the instructions, and file All of Baels revolvers will thank you

Endorsed!
Sorry for the late response, I've had to be off the board for a while.
Glad the info was of use to you & that it works in New Vegas.
Thank-you kindly for commenting!

Thank-you kindly!
Bugged me to, especially as I'm a revolver fan.
Was some time before I learnt enough about .nif's & Nifskope to understand what caused the bug, in the end the cause was a fairly tiny thing.

Glad you liked it!
It was one of those things that always bugged me, especially since I really like revolvers.
Thank-you kindly for taking the time to comment & endorse.

Sorry I hadn't spotted your question sooner.

Very pleased you like it.
I don't have New Vegas so I wasn't able to check that but I do know that it uses many of the same files as Fallout 3.
I was aware too that some New Vegas revolvers had the same glitch, guess the developers didn't spot it.
I know it was a small thing but it always bugged me.
Took a while before I had enough knowledge of .nif's & .ks's to fix it.

Glad you like it.
Thanks for commenting!
I like the little Jules Winnfield avatar by the way.

First to comment, thank-you kindly!
"but it has bugged me for years"
Me too! It resisted my many previous attempts.
I always assumed it was just the model itself, wasn't until I thought more about why it would appear correct in 1st & not 3rd person that it clicked.
Helped that I'd learnt a lot more about .nif's too.
It's worked perfectly on all revolvers I've tested it on, vanilla & mod added.
A couple of the mod added ones needed the other fix I mention for when the speedloader appears when they are dropped.
"Thanks man ... for the instructions, and file"
You're welcome!
I figured I'd include instructions for those who like to get stuck in too, it's really quite simple once you know.
I think it was more complex to write the instructions than to do.
The ability to make bits & pieces appear & disappear is nifty, I'm trying to come up with a few fun uses myself.
