LE mod smithing patching for PM

[amokrun]

I suspect this is actually quite simple to do but my knowledge of the workings of CK and TES5edit is very limited. I came across a smithing bug in Perkus Maximus where the steel nordic gauntlets cannot be upgraded unless you have the material-corundum perk. Creating them is fine with the steel perk, however. All I want is to correct the tempering recipe so that it fits with the steel material perk. I imagine this will be addressed in a future update but if anyone has the inclination, it would be greatly appreciated...

Nordic items and all other misc armor types like advanced,scaled are upgraded with corundum in perma. This is defined in the armor.xml file in your skyproc patch patchusmaximus folder.

 

Open the file with notepad++ make sure you have this program.

 

If you want to change this remove the following strings from the nord category:

 

<binding>

<identifier>HNordicHigh</identifier>

<substring>Steel Nordic</substring>

</binding>

And add the following strings to the steel category:

<binding>

<identifier>Steel</identifier>

<substring>Steel Nordic</substring>

</binding>

 

You can do this for all keywords you want to use the steel type. Substring is what the item is called ingame, identifier is what material type you want it to use. Just make sure to put them under the proper category.

 

Then rerun the patcher.

That did it, thank you so much! Now that you've explained how all Nordic items are upgraded with corundum, I guess it actually makes sense that it would apply to steel 'nordic' gauntlets as well. I just found it a bit immersion-breaking to craft a whole suit of steel armor with the steel perk and be able to upgrade everything except the gauntlets. Thanks again, I will keep this information in mind for future issues.
