Boristus Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Emboldened by previous success here, I'd like to ask for another much-requested change: To remove the cape from the Vampire Royal Armor, the Male version specifically, but the female version as well would be appreciated. I've seen this requested multiple times here without success, but the same could be said for my previous request, so I figure it's worth a shot. As an additional request, would it be possible to keep the front section of the male cloak (with the Molag Bal buckle), and copy it to the back (without the buckle)? If not, don't bother. http://i60.tinypic.com/1196m8j.png
BleydThePirate Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Here's the reason why there are so many requests for this but no one has done it yet. http://i.imgur.com/1pR2wLf.png?1 For whatever reason, the developers left the part of the armor underneath the cape unfinished, so removing the cape results in a large empty space around the shoulders. Fixing this would mean editing the mesh itself in a 3d modeling program, which is quite a bit more work than just a simple retexture. Still, there are quite a few modders out there who edit meshes for preexisting items and create brand new ones, so I'm not sure why this has gone undone.
Boristus Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Hmmm... That's not great... Could you send me the mesh/textures? I could see what I can do myself with my meager blender skills, but I can't extract them myself.
Deleted5770650User Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 It may be possible it fill in the empty area with part of the mesh from the alternate version.

When I get my hands on a computer with the .BSA extractor, I was going to see if I could patch it with parts from the normal Vampire Armor mesh.
Boristus Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Well, bad news is that the fix I was trying was beyond my capabilities, but the good news is that I managed to kludge together a solution. I erased the cloak on the texture sheet, and then added a longer cloak model from the Cloaks of Skyrim mod to the Vampire Royal Armor item (like the hood on the Archmage's Robes). It's not perfect, but it works.
Derok Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 As long textures are intact, it is possible to fill the hole. Do you still want that fix?

Satchboogie Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 This is definitely something I would use. I like the royal armor a lot but it doesn't play nice with cloak mods. Was actually visiting this forum to see if there was a similar request up and lo and behold, it was! I won't have to post any, then.
Derok Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Ah, forgot to say that textures are missing in that area, so it's just harder than adding some geometry.
