How do I make Stalhrim redone work with the Deathbrand armor?

[reallifegirl]

The mod author is obviously not going to update anymore, so.

 

It's already a replacer mod but it doesn't replace deathbrand. I already tried putting the deathbrand mesh folder in there and renaming everything to match but idk it doesn't work.

 

A step by step would be helpful.

Challenge accepted, confusion ensued.

After installing the mod, looking at the armors in the CK, and then changing the meshes around, it seems that the mod does indeed affect changes on the Deathbrand set. That means (from where I sit) that the possibilities for what's going on have been slightly narrowed down. You either have some other mod conflicting with Stalhrim Redone, you installed it incorrectly, or you want the Deathbrand set to look the same as the heavy stalhrim set.

 

With the information I've gotten from looking at the mod, I can only address my last guess (other than moving Stalhrim Redone to the bottom of your load list in Mod Organizer to override the conflict... if you're using Mod Organizer.)

 

The Deathbrand set uses the same meshes as light stalhrim armor, and the meshes added from Stalhrim Redone include differences in the light and heavy armor sets.

 

Deathbrand is "DLC2dunHaknirArmorCuirass" in the creation kit, and the light stalhrim cuirass is "DLC2ArmorStalhrimLightCuirass." Both of them use the mesh information from "DLC2StahlrimLightCuirassAA," meaning Deathbrand and light stalhrim armor look the same - because they are the same. Again, going on what little information I have on the situation here.

 

Here is my assessment.

You want this ----> http://static-4.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/48894-5-1387234894.jpg (Heavy armor models)

But have this ----> http://static-4.nexusmods.com/15/mods/110/images/48894-2-1387234936.jpg (Light armor models)

 

To make Deathbrand appear the same as the heavy armor (with large pauldrons), you need to:

 

1: Be sure Stalhrim Redone is installed correctly - NOT the "Alternative light armor" version (as it does not contain the needed files.)

2: Go into meshes/dlc2/armor/stalhrimheavy

3: Copy both the "M" and "F" folders of the heavy set

4: Paste the folders into meshes/dlc2/armor/stalhrimlight to replace the M/F models of the light set.

 

This should give Deathbrand the same appearance as the heavy armor, with the only down side being that everyone in stalhrim armor will look the same; but it's not like everyone's running around it it anyway.

 

...Or you already tried that, and have some problem of which I haven't seen nor can currently conceive. Hope it helps. If not, you could try to elaborate a bit more and I can take another swing at it.
