Check Apachii Goddess Store. I think you can find some part of that.

To find it out, you will need to use Construction Set. Find the barrel that was added by the mod(you can find it easily by sorting it by FormID), then check where it is.

The barrel is in the Anvil Castle Courtyard, and the armour is in a black chest with red accents, and my logo on the top.

You've obviously got a buggered-up version of my mod because I KNOW the version I released had a full readme and screenshots showing you EXACTLY where it is.

There's, sadly, a lot of buggered up versions of your mods floating about on asian sites. For a group of people who don't like sharing their own works, they sure are willing to ignore requests and share other works.

That is completely true. I believe the word here is hypocrites.

It does seem that way.

Geez guys, you really don't understand some of the situations that do come up when it comes to mod distribution - Be happy that several modders from the Orient are willing to share some of their works here in the first place. Some mods are direct rips from other games, so public distribution would be illegal. Others they do share, but thanks to restrictions brought on beyond their control they don't get much demand from the outside world to redistribute in a less restrictive place; this tends to create a situation of unfair exclusivity they are probably not aware of due to the restrictions brought on by the site's or system's owners cutting off a lot of potential newcomers.

 

Finally, it mostly comes down to just poor search results. Most times, I use this method when searching for a mod or armor (I've become a cute\awesome armor addict) on Google:

 

Oblivion mod "<insert mod/item here>"

 

Quotes will look for that exact phrase - if no results, cut it down the description until you're just down to one or two words.

 

Oh, and on results, be careful - Google doesn't cut out the torrent and porn sites, but if you read a bit of the description you'll know which ones to avoid.

 

And don't be afraid to jump into Japanese and Korean sites, most aren't entirely laden with that stuff - It's mostly advertising that's on the page. Three things are your friends for these sites - An ad-blocking plugin, a translator plugin, and Ctrl-F.

 

Here's some Japanese sites that I know of:

 

2ch SS/MOD archives: On most pages It's SFW if you don't risk opening up any of the image files, set aside some instances of ASCII art. (Find mostly skips that stuff.) Sometimes, they'll make uploads of jpgs, but usually beneath that they'll have you need to change the format to a compressed file (example: [jpg->rar]) A lot of the links point to SHY, but that's pretty much in a different field by itself. Not to mention, sometimes the site hosting the archive is a bit questionable as well.

 

fc2.blog## sites: FC2 is possibly the most popular blog service used by Japanese modders. A lot of well-known Japanese modders registered here have their own blogs that use this system. (Someone should start a list of them...) The same goes with Exite blogs as well.

 

SHY: THIS SITE IS NSFW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Well, if you use the pictorial view, it's really NSFW, but the site isn't very descriptive in terms of text, so it's a bit like spearfishing in both situations. In fact, for your own safety I won't tell you how to get there. (Hint: Sometimes, images before the file actually show what it is, and files that are over ~600 KB in size tends to have a mesh included.)

That's all well and good. The modders who are willing to/do share are not the problem, and I'm personally grateful that there are so many modders in the Asian community who DO share their work where possible.

However, it's the people who decide they don't want to adhere to a modder's wishes and redistribute work that's either private/no longer available without permission, regardless of whether or not they're modders themselves, and certain members of the modding community who make REALLY nice stuff and show it off, then say 'Sorry, friends only, sucks to be you.'

THAT is where the hypocrisy comes in. Mind you, this is irrelevant because we're derailing a thread. Let's just stick to the topic, shall we?
