how to assign textures in nifskope?

I really love http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=5565 because they make my char's hands look awesome, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to texture them. I'm not a graphic artist of any sort, but when I get into Nifskope and load the meshes, I get: http://i.imgur.com/fsSmV.jpg

You can see here I've got the hand itself selected, and I added a file that I thought might be the right texture (the nord skin file?) but it did nothing, so obviously that wasn't right. So at this point I'm having to guess which texture to put on them, where to put it, how to put it, and what type (dark, bump, glow??). I know next to nothing about textures and types of textures, I REALLY just want to use this mod. Can anyone tell me how to texture this thing and which texture to use? :/

Let's see: First, make sure you have "Block List" selecten in View in NifSkope (or just click F2), open up the model (mesh) file, select the hand, expand NiTriShape and NiTexturingProperty, there you will see textures\bb_skinf_dominion_gloves.dds. Click on the purple icon to the left of the texture path and chooce you race's texture (should be Morrowind\Data Files\Textures\bb\bb_handf_XY.dds). You have to make sure that the path starts with textures\bb, it CAN NOT contain any Morrowind, Data Files or Program Files directory. Save.

I haven't tested it in-game, but the texture appears properly in NifSkope. Have fun!
