ElioraArin Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I absolutely love the white horse texture in Shogun3d's Enhanced Horse Skins, but I also like the original palomino skin it replaces - is anyone aware of a mod that utilises this particularly nice "white slightly flecked with grey" texture in a stand alone option that adds a new horse?

ElioraArin Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) To anyone else who is interested I haven't been able to find a standalone version of a white horse, only retextures that change the colour of original horses, & I haven't been able to create a standalone horse myself :sad: I have however discovered "Frost & Solitude Horses White Retex" by Xazomn which is particularly beautiful. For a long time I didn't use it as I like the palomino horses that it replaces, but I just found it is very easy to choose which horses it makes white by changing the number used in the texture files the mod adds - use the following numbers to make the corresponding horses white:horse01 = Windhelm Bayhorse02 = Solitude Palominohorse03 = Riften Dapple Greyhorse04 = Whiterun Black (which is really more dark brown!)horse05 = Markath PintoI hate the pinto so have made it white & been able to keep the palomino!You can also download a mod that adds a standalone horse & then make that horse white. Manually download Xazomn's or Shogun3d's mod to a non game folder, open the in game folder of the standalone horse mod, copy & rename Xazomn's or Shogun3d's texture file to the exact name of the standalone texture, replace the original standalone texture with your copy.Although I prefer the white horse by Xazomn, Shogun3d has done some other really nice colours - such as a true black, black with white stockings, a grey dun, & enhanced versions of the original dapple grey, pinto & palomino. These all look great in my game either as recolours of the original horses or standalone replacements :smile: Edited December 19, 2015 by ElioraArin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombro Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Anyways, try the following:Horse skin textures uses armor and armor addon, like any other creature.Make new one for the white texture, duplicate a horse, and give the skin to the horse. It just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElioraArin Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks Boombro, I did try this repeatedly but sadly no joy though, it insisted on looking like the original duplicate no matter what I did. I opened my "Mennowar Horses" mod to see how the author created his standalones, I had to create four different duplicates & adjust them, & I think it had something to do with the skin I created not being used by the nakedhorse I created like it was supposed to be - I just couldn't figure out how to link the two together.

Boombro Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) Did it have a new race? Maybe they differ by race. Edited November 23, 2015 by Boombro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElioraArin Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) From what I can see at the very least you need to duplicate an EncHorse, NakedHorse, SkinHorse & SkinHorseHide for each standalone you want to create. I think I am linking them all correctly to each other except for the SkinHorse & NakedHorse - for which I can't see anything obvious I should be doing. The author of "Mennowar Horses" mentioned he had used resources by AlienSlof & left a link - I thought I may be able to get a guide on what to do on that page, but it is no longer even available :sad:Oh, & I don't think race is an issue, Mennowar adds the CartHorse as an additional race, but I tried using this when attempting to make a standalone & it didn't make any difference. I am about to see if I can just make some changes to Mennowar Horses & keep it purely for personal use - but I really wanted to add a unique horse to the house that I am working on & am hoping to upload when finished, so it is disappointing.

ToppDog Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) It's been way too long since I did it, so I don't rmember exactly how I did it, but I made a white horse using resources that were available here on the nexus. You are free to duplicate mine & use it in your mod Since the skins were already available as a resource anyway. I made mine as a new horse too, not a replacer. You're right, there wasn't a need for a new race, but the encounters for saddled & unsaddled, plus all the textures etc. were part of it. I knew little about modding when I did it. It was a trial & error thing :) Edited November 24, 2015 by ToppDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElioraArin Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I think I finally have it figured out - if some testing proves that I'm right I will post under a new thread titled "Creating a Custom Horse" to hopefully help out others who want to do this.

ElioraArin Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks ToppDog, I'm sorry I didn't even see your post so you must have posted while I was typing my last message! I would be very interested in any textures for horses, as now that I've figured out what to do I can make them very quickly & am planning on creating a mod that adds them to towns that don't have them - I would also like to try & put in a horse in each hold that will become available for free once you have been made Thane, not sure if I'll succeed on that one though ... it might be a bit ambitious for me ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raye Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Try Automatic Variants. It will replace textures too, but it is highly configurable, you can adjust the textures it uses to have just the white and the vanilla colours, so you will still get the vanilla colours but the white one is still pretty likely to show up. Every stable will have a random selection of horses. It makes buying a horse a bit of an adventure, a quest to find the one you really love. if the one you want doesn't show up as a purchasable horse, disable AV for a bit, then re-enable it and a new randomized selection of horses will be made. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/21377/? It's one of my favorite mods, so many pretty horses and different colours of goat and blah blah too. There is also white Frost mods. I use Slof's which is not on the Nexus, but easy enough to find, or there are other ones. this is my game using both Automatic Variants for the chocolate palomino, and white Frost. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=425188854 Edited November 25, 2015 by Raye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
