Hey guys, glad to see work is still continuing on Credo with the help of some very, very awesome modders. This really is the only thing that's letting me hold onto an interest in Skyrim. Everything is looking great, hope you brave few can keep in it till it's finished. I've brought some inspirational pics to share :biggrin:. A few pages back someone suggested giving Tulius some Roman style armor, it was anachronistic for the period the mod is focused on (13th through 15th centuries). However, you could still justify giving the Imperials a "Romanesque" style in their armors since, in reality, the Roman Empire was still using such styles all the way up until 1453. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Nephtys/Romans/Eastern_Romans_20_1453_AD.jpg?t=1245166511 http://larsbrownworth.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Byzarmy.jpg http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/7802/byzantiumsifonator.jpg http://www.strategie-zone.de/forum/gallery/image.php?mode=medium&album_id=197&image_id=7106 http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/tg/image/1336/77/1336775301152.jpg http://i035.radikal.ru/1107/c7/4a82a5b635c5.jpg http://i082.radikal.ru/1107/45/1e53e361e78e.jpg http://www.medievalists.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/800px-Byzantine_Greek_Alexander_Manuscript_Cataphract_cropped.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/Byzantine_Greek_Soldiers_Alexander_Manuscript_Thessaly.JPG

Here's some more references for you Actus, I think I've found every Osprey reference ever.

A COUPLE!! lol.. Thanks again Nuked, you always supply some brilliant sources of inspiration.. I lol'd so hard at the pic of the Knight in the living room..lol.. I absolutely love the 14thC pics.. NP, hope they're of good use to you, and if you really want a good laugh, look in the "others" section of my post. I would be very interested to see how that turns out. Sounds like a great idea!

I think this is enough from me for a while.

Hey Actus, you've been doing great work the past two weeks, I was really excited when I saw you released those stand-alone sets! Got tons of reference pics I've been waiting to throw at you. Was without power/internet for a while, we had a major hurricane here. It's been hard to find new Osprey pics online, I actually grabbed some of their books before the storm to read, (had a feeling the power would go out) so I'll see if I can get some of their illustrations posted here. For now, I have a flood of stuff I found through google searches. Tried to focus on getting mainly illustrations and 14th-century-related material, but there's a bunch of other stuff too. I'm not going to check everything posted in the previous pages either, so there might be some repeats lol.

I really like the new color style on the Yeoman Armor. Slightly resembles the Aedirn archer from the enhanced edition TW2 intro. Keep it up!

I caught your scrapped Stormcloak armor earlier today before you took down the image. It reminded me of the Byzantine (Roman) Varangian Guard. Here's some references if you need any: Fall of Constantinople 1453 - http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Nephtys/Romans/Eastern_Romans_20_1453_AD.jpg Byzantine Mercenaries - http://b.pix.ge:81/l/jyj2p.jpg Byzantine Navy: http://warandgame.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/gf717-1.jpg Varangian Guard: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/khaya/Varangian_Guard.jpg Katafraktoi: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/206/0/d/Klibanaphoroi_by_krstovukoje.jpg

Very nice improvements on the Tullius and Ulfric armors. Site won't let me comment on either pic though, and it's only allowed me to endorse the Tullius armor pic.

Just go with the original theme of crossed daggers for Riften's gaurds. You could replace vanilla's silly looking purple and yellow heraldry with something more fitting to your mod. Like a drawing resembling any of these daggers perhaps: http://www.smithtac.com/files/Knives/V42daggers.JPG http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_501/1273181151ntScdG.jpg http://swordstore.biz/acatalog/ah-3184.jpg

It looks like a very rudimentary coat of plates or armored surcoat, brand new technology around the late 13th and early 14th centuries. There's a port of the Blue Stripes commandos from The Witcher 2 out there, I remember the light version having some type of coat of plates on it. EDIT: here it is - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7807 look in the user image submissions for it.

Best of luck to you and your mod. :thumbsup: Here's some illustrations from Osprey's Men At Arms books on the late 13th to early 15th centuries: http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/frencharmiesofthehundredyearsw.jpg?w=700&h= http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/scan0100.jpg?w=1200&h= http://thelosttreasurechest.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/italianmedievalarmies13cs1.jpg?w=700&h= http://dc266.4shared.com/doc/UqeJXlA3/preview001.png

This? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=16130&navtag=file/images.php?id=16130&tab=3

Pretty sure this armor is going to be awesome. Great work!

Just tried doing the bShadowsOnGrass to 0 thing. Tried it with my current ini and then with a new one. The grass shadows are still there.

What ever happened to your original helmet ideas like the mail coif with the nasalhelm over it? Are they still in? Just curious :whistling:

Great work on the light version. That was pretty fast for someone making a request XD I prefer the heavy version, but I actually might wear the light boots with it. They do a nice job of filling out the armor at the bottom and really look cool with the surcoat.

Cape matches very nicely. Keep up the great work :thumbsup:

The armor is outstanding, no doubt about it, but I agree with jet about the hips. Will the armor scale for different body sizes and races?

It looks outstanding and great job putting it all together. Seems like you're almost there, keep it up! :thumbsup:

Maybe some of these can help you out? FPS limiter: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=34&navtag=file/images.php?id=34&tab=3 Skyrim Stuttering 64hz Bug Fix: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2581&navtag=file/images.php?id=2581&tab=3 FPS Background Booster: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5695&navtag=file/images.php?id=5695&tab=3 Skyrim Performance PLUS: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=6387&navtag=file/images.php?id=6387&tab=3 Also if you're running shadows at ultra, keep in mind that they can cause a significant fps drop even with pretty high-end systems.

I've also had a major fps loss here. Before the patch, everything was running smoothly at 45fps with dual nvidia gtx 260s with SLI, and a fps limiter to prevent slowdowns (I can actually run the game up to 60 fps, but any drop in fps causes too much of a slowdown for me to deal with). With the new grass shadows, fps drops down to 30 in areas with a lot of grass, trees, etc. I have the grass distance slider set to full and shadows on high. Moving the shadows down to medium didn't help. I couldn't use nik0li's suggestion, as bDrawLandShadows was already at 0. I set my fps limiter even lower to 40 and it's still dropping like a rock. I'm kinda pissed off that this was forced on us. I had shadows set to high instead of ultra for the very reason they make such a large impact on performance. My game was at the perfect "sweet spot" in terms of performance and graphics. Now this patch comes along and screws it all up... :wallbash:
