Steampunk Assassins' Armor

[kieranfoy]

<P>Yep, you heard me, steampunk.<BR><BR>And assassins. How cool can yah get?<BR><BR>Do note: this requires retexturing and adding meshes to armor meshes, which involves weighting. If you can't do that, all you can do is give emotional <BR><BR>support (which is appreciated.)<BR><BR>So, it works like this. There are two version, a light and a heavy.<BR><BR>The Light: You take the shrouded armor (using the UFF replacer for the female mesh) and remove all the buckles, straps, knee-guards, pauldrons,  everything that can be removed EXCEPT the belt. Then, you retexture it brown, a nice dark (but not too dark) brown, maybe using the leathery brown texture  here: <A class=bbc_url title="External link" href="http://webtreats.mysitemyway.com/seamless-natural-grunge-textures/" rel="nofollow external">http://webtreats.mys...runge-textures/</A><BR><BR>Then you color the belt brass colored, like with this texture: <A class=bbc_url title="External link" href="http://www.noctua-graphics.de/images/download/tex/metal/brass01.jpg" rel="nofollow external">http://www.noctua-gr...tal/brass01.jpg</A> or possibley the dwarven armor texture. Merging a gear from one of the daedric gates or suchlike into the belt as a buckle is also a plus.<BR><BR>Then, you merge onto the armor the pit leather boots and guantlets, also retextured to the brass texture.<BR><BR>The mantle-like area around the shoulders? Brass texture! <BR><BR>The heavy uses the armor you just made, but on top of that, you add on a hood, regular mesh, likewise retextured Dwemeric brass.<BR><BR>Then you retexture brown the cloak from this resource: <A class=bbc_url title="External link" href="http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13215" rel="nofollow external">http://tesnexus.com/...le.php?id=13215</A> and attach the mesh to the armor. If possible, lengthen  the cloak 'till it reaches just a bit above the ground. Another option would be to use the cloak from here: <A class=bbc_url title="External link" href="http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29934" rel="nofollow external">http://tesnexus.com/...le.php?id=29934</A>  with the skull replaced with a gear, like those in the daedric gates.<BR><BR>Then you go down to the small knife scabbard that's on the right leg of the armor (yeah, it's hard to see) and put a scaled down Dwarven knife into the sheath, which will require some modelling. Then, you add the pistol from this mod to the left side of the belt: <A href="http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28088">http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28088</A><BR><BR>And that's about it!<BR><BR>Thanks for reading, and for the love of Sithis, POST! </P>

what is with you and your love affair with the shrouded armor set?

[kieranfoy]

It's not an affair. We're happily married!

 

Seriously, it's my favorite armor. Slim, deadly, and yet looks dangerous.

Meh, I'm not a big fan of the vanilla shrouded armor, but I've seen some pretty awesome variants of it. IF this gets done, it'll be awesome!

[kieranfoy]

That's a good point. A lot of the variants of shrouded armor out there are better than the actual armor. The Shades Armor from Kvatch Rebuilt, for example.

I don't mind Shrouded armour, it gives you a early decent enchantment if you join the dark brotherhood at start.

Thor. has a point. At the beginning, IF YOU DON'T CHEAT (:whistling:) It has decent enchantments on it for a beginner. Just set a guards hp to 1, and punch him ;P lol. But anyways, I hope this gets done, because it sounds cool, although I haven't even heard of steampunk.

[kieranfoy]

@Thor: Yah, dat be trooth.

 

@Lordfrostcraig: Never heard of steampunk? Mah gawd! Boy, Google you dat shee-it!

 

Also, enjoy your shiny new kudo, Thor. Lordfrostcraig, I already gave you one, so I gave you a five-star rating!

[Genzel]

Sounds pretty killer, can't have too much dwemer/ steampunk inspired gear!

[monkybuttface]

Great, just PLEASE no clashing between hood and vampire (or was it vampire Khajiit? or just khajiit?) I noticed some issues with original shrouded hood.
