I can't make the vest works propertly... i even changed the output to "meshes\Clothes\FemaleMilitaryMinutemenVest" or "meshes\Clothes\MilitaryMinutemen\Female\Uniform" but nothing happen in game, but in bodyslide shows the vest propertly.
The mesh definitely exports to the armor directory according to the osp. What I did was move the mesh manually after the export. So the full path is: Meshes\Clothes\MilitaryMinutemen\Female\Uniform\FemaleMilitaryMinutemenVest.nif. I didn't bother editing the osp. Hope this helps.
I tried what you said, but it didn't work... But that's because i forgot to mention that i have installed "Militarized Minutemen Patches and Insignia Addon", and that mod overwrites some archives. So i tried to apply your tip but with the path of that mod, and it works! So the full path (for those who has installed "MM patches and insignia addon") is meshes/MM_ParchAddon/FemaleMilitaryMinutemenVest.nif
But if the nifs were modified in the patches mod, and you swap these in, wouldn't that mean you are deleting the attach-points that mod added to the nifs? No patches for the girls, I'm afraid.
Also, I am willing to lose the patches to get females looking better (I don't use the vest on females all that much anyway), but I noticed a spelling error in your post, M477HI4S. Was it supposed to be "Patch_Addon", not 'Parch'? I mean, I've seen spelling errors in files, so if you are just carrying the error over from that mod its all good.
Lol sorry bit of a bodyslide novice here, how exactly do you apply this fix? I should note that I have already changed the output path for the vest to "Clothes/etc.." in Outfit Studio and hit "Build" for the preset I want for the vest in Bodyslide. I also check the files and it is in fact in the "Clothes" directory.
HAHA BOYS LETS GOOO i just made a stupid mistake and didn't read the full pathname past clothes, now it's in the right spot and working fine
Where are the meshes for militarized minutemen insignias and patches addon GOOD NEWS to find that MM_ParchAddon mesh folder you have to download the loose file version of that mod, unfortunately. However, you can now solve the issue. :0
can't seem to get tactical rigs to maintain their shape (in game) despite them looking good in (bodyslide) they keep going vanilla. will update if its a "me" problem. everything else works as intended either way ENDORSED!
sadly they don't build around any of my under armor outfits and stay vanilla shape but everything else works are there any suggestions I can do to fix it?
bad news I've installed manually and overwritten (still hasn't worked vests are still vanilla) and I've installed via vortex and it has said that the (2.1a) is a duplicate of hot-fix (2.1b) so naturally i load (2.1b) first and the problem still resides (vests vanilla everything else works) thank you very much again for trying to fix this extensively I really appreciate it!
Vortex is a horrible mod organizer. A lot of mods say on the details if you use vortex and theres a bug its from vortex. Download modorganizer 2 its so much better. A lot of the time Vortex will reinstall the wrong file I think thats whats going on. even if you download an update if vortex deems that file obsolete itll revert back to the file it thinks is correct. Nmm is better and vortex was supposed to be the replacement which doesnt make sense. its a broken mod organizer. MO2 simplifies stuff and makes modding easy it also integrates wryebash or any 3rd party software. trust me man try it out
fair enough ill give it a shot but I still can't explain why downloading it manually and replacing didn't work for me... :( edit: after a manual install and testing every armor works appropriately the vest is still vanilla even after overwriting. Vortex is out of the question by the way since I didn't use it during manual instal and overwrite... thank you for your hard work I just wish the last piece would form.
will do ill get back when I do it! edit: no change has occurred all else still normal even ran it through body slide to make sure any other suggestions are welcome.
I believe that the problem is that the original mod is packed in a BA2 archive and that in of itself brings difficulty in making the bodyslide files work. the ESP references the files in the BA2 but doesn't pay attention to the bodyslide files placed in the actual data\meshes folder.
I can't get the textures to show up in BodySlide, I've tried sticking the texture files everywhere I can think of but it's not helping. Anyone able to help me out with what goes where?
It is just not working for me. Is there a specific load order or some mod it is not compatible? I'd use "Militarized Minutemen Patches and Insignia Addon", and I tried already to deactivate it, re install and nothing just happens. Any help?

They don't seem to have any significance and are safe to ignore or copy-paste wherever you dump the other files.
