LEGION113

Hello Actus, I have been following your work for a little while now, and I just wanted to start off by saying I love what you are doing. I've always wanted something similar to this for skyrim, changing it to more of a Medieval theme, and your work is superior. However, I do have a suggestion regarding the Imperial Legion. I was wondering if you could create something similar to these for them: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120620195103/assassinscreed/images/5/5c/AC1_Crusader_Soldier.png http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120620195212/assassinscreed/images/0/07/AC1_Crusader_Sergeant.png http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120620195320/assassinscreed/images/0/04/AC1_Crusader_Captain.png I hate to use images from another game, however, these were the best I could find. Thanks for your superb work!

Good to hear the mod isn't dead. Looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic work! Best of luck!

I honestly don't believe this can be done, but anything is possible I guess.

Yes, this is one of the main things I dislike about Oblivion/Fallout/Skyrim. Every armor/race/npc mod seems to be focused on skimpy outfits and strange anime style characters. Like, everyone of them. I hate it.

So, I came across some images of the "Byzantine" faction from one of the Assassin's Creed games (the most recent one I believe), and I was like, "These guys look like they would be perfect for the Legion...". Their armor looks just looks... right for them. It's like a mix of Roman, but with a more Eastern style (I am aware they were the Eastern branch of the Roman Empire), which I think fits Skyrim amazingly. So, I figured I'd bring this up, and see if anyone skilled enough would like to take up the challenge of making some armors off the Byzantines. They just fit so well! See I'm thinking something like this for the Regular Soldiers/Sergeants, but with the Byzantine Coat of Arms being replaced with the Legion symbol, with studded being the same, but with a studded leather breast plate: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/a/ad/Byzantines.png http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/a/ae/Guard-byzantine-ACR.png http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/9/96/ACR_Soldier_Art_HD.png (This could be a sort-of Sergeant's armor) This could be some sort of Elite/Heavy Soldier: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/c/cb/Guard-varangian-ACR.png Officer's Armor: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/d/d9/Byzantine_Leader_Artwork.jpg Legates Armor: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/e/e7/Guard-almogavar-ACR.png Something similar to this could be Tullius' Armor: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/f/f0/Leandrosrenderhd.png I don't know if this is even possible, but I think it'd be amazing to see something like this as the Legion's armors, they look very intimidating, and suited to the cold climate of Skyrim, but still having a sort of 'Romanesque' feeling. All images are from the Assassin's creed wikia.

ALright, so, ignore the upper post please, got all that to work, but now I hit a speed bump converting the .sdm files to .nif. Any ideas?

Okay, I had trouple finding a VTF editing plugin for the GIMP, but I found a stand-alone one called VTFedit, and I tried what you said, but when saving, it only has the "save as VTF" option and no others. Any help?

Alrighty man, thank you!

I recently came into some models from Army of Two 40th day that I would like to use in a personal mod. The models were are already converted to .smd and the textures to .vtf, but as you know they need to be in .nif and .dds files to work in-game. The problem is that I have no idea how to do this, and no idea were to begin. Could someone explain to me how to do this, please? I'm a little computer savy so I could do it, but I need something to guide me through what to do first. Many, many thanks to anyone who can tell me how to do this!

My bad, I meant "Iron Ingot" instead of "Iron Ore".

I don't know if its been suggested yet, but I had the idea of adding "Whet Stones" as a buyable item from blacksmiths. It would have the appearance of a piece of iron ore, only smaller and darker. You could use it to provide a temporary "Sharpened" bonus, which could provide a +1 damage effect or something similar. The stone could have 10 or so uses, before it "breaks". There could also be different types (i.e. a "High Quality Whet Stone"), which could provide a higher bonus, and have more uses. Its just a small idea I had, so I figured I throw it out here see if anyone wants to take a crack at it.

It may be possible to make some sort of custom NPC "creature" thing, sort of like the wounded NCR troopers in New Vegas whose limb was already missing, but I doubt it would be possible to have a "normal" NPC survive a removed limb.

Thanks so much man! Yeah, thats great! Nice work!

I've been working on a mod where I redo most interiors around the major towns and such, ie. Megaton, Rivet City, ect. I've kind of abandoned the project, as school is starting very soon, so I'm not going to have much time. I've also been doing more stuff in NV lately. I was going to use these objects to add a little more variety to some areas, so, you know, I don't have the same lockers, med-kits, ect. I may restart it again though. I can't pay you for it (would if I could). I just figured I'd ask because I can't seem to find any mods that add any new containers.

That does sound cool, especially for a hard core role-player, but for most people it seems like constant radiation would be a nuisance, maybe something more along the lines of radioactive, acid rain every now and then.
