Nightshade Armor Fix

[MasterDRD]

One of my favorite armors has to be SkeletonK's Nightshade Armor (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14999) but there is one thing I don't like about it. The male version of the armor has one bare arm instead of both arms covered (as part of the Cuirass) which to me makes it look less imposing... So my request is simply that someone 'fix' this so that both arms are covered with armor instead of one.

If anyone does decide to do this for me, there's one other thing that annoys me about this armor. The Nightshade Skirt piece (as a male character the name here bugs me, it's just extra armor plating, not a skirt...) is assigned to the amulet slot instead of one of the less used slots. So if whoever might fulfull this request could change it to another slot (and the name too) I would be in their debt for all of eternity.

An excellant idea. Myself, I've always wanted to se a female version that didn;t show skin, but this also sounds good. The armor has so much potential.

 

Anyway, I'd do it for you, but I cannot ope someone picks it up.

Well maybe if someone does pick this up and is already changing files, they might do that for you too... ;) Could be in the same file I need, if I want to use revealing armor on my companions there are much more fitting armors than this... :P (Not that this armor shows that much skin on females to begin with.) All I really care about is that arm, and the amulet slot being taken by the shoulder/thighplates though. The female version has both 'sleeves', so why not the male version?

And, once again my idiot computer double-posted. Sorry, bad connection.

Makes sense, I admit.

 

Also: yes, best smiley ever.

 

My money's on the Sith.

I dunno, the Jedi's style seems very familiar... *coughyodacough* (but I want the Sith to win of course)

As popular as the Nightshade armor is, I'm surprised more people haven't commented. (Then again, a lot of men play female characters, and they already have both sleeves, so this wouldn't affect them...)

This is something I'd really like to see as well. At the very least, a way to take the tattoo off and possibly make a black sleeve. If I knew where the file for the arm with the tattoo was located I could do it myself, but it's not in the Nightshade folder with the rest of the texture maps.

My bad on the double post, but I had an update to this.

 

I've learned some tricks to editing these models, and using my skill with The Shop o' Photos, modded it for my own personal preferences. On the bare arm, I put a long, black sleeve that goes nearly up to the shoulder. It lines up with where the bare skin on the other glove begins, so one could assume underneath the armored arm it would also have this black sleeve. This of course removes the tattoo, as it's covered by a sleeve. I also figured out how to remove the top piece from the skirts, making the whole outfit look very ninja-like and cool, while still achieving the asymmetrical look. I can't figure out skinning in this thing, otherwise I might break out 3ds max and put the female armored arm on, modified to a male body.

 

Anyway, if it's something anyone has interest in, I can upload it.

I know it has been a year since anyone has posted in this thread, but I would also really like to see this done. Here are some additional ideas/requests:

 

1. Replace the bare male arm with the female arm, modified for a male body as AlphaDragoon mentioned - but also cover both upper arms/shoulders with black sleeves that match the armor's spandex-like texture.

 

2. Resize the female version of the gauntlets for male hands and add it as an alternate nif for the male gauntlets (since I for one think the female gauntlets look better).

 

3. As an alternative nif, replace the bare male arm with a mirror image of the armored arm (making the arms symmetrical), and cover both shoulders with black spandex as mentioned above.

 

4. As other alternative nifs, include versions that replace the male pauldron(s) with the female pauldron, modified for a male body (for those who like the cat-like face better than the lion face).

 

5. Make a clothing version of this armor for people that want the appearance without the armor properties (i.e. protection, degradation with damage, heavier weight, and reduction in speed and spell effectiveness).

 

 

Would anyone else like to see this done?
