new thief armor

[egal wie]

Hi :biggrin:

i was wondering if anyone could create the following set of armor:

i once requested it and it already has been made but i got no response for some month now. i want the pit armour recoloured into dark grey as seen in the pic and want some kind of scarf-thing around the neck. (!allthough i dont want that cape thing!) it shouldnt be too hard to do. i tried myself but failed :(

 

so...anyone up to help me out ?? :confused:

...anyone?? :huh:

it shouldnt be too hard but i still cant make it myself cause i cant open the necesary files :/

Where did you get the scarf thing? It looks to me like the scarf thing is actually part of the cape. It would be easy for me or someone else to retexture the vanilla Oblivion pit armor, but the scarf can't be done unless you have a modders-resource or permission-granted scarf model for us, or a modeler willing to create a scarf from scratch.

 

If you are thinking about doing the project yourself, try downloading BSA Commander and using it to to open the necessary files.

It's just a simple change of textures at armor \meshes\Armor\Leather\m\ cuirass, greaves, boots.

textures are probably transferred through a "desaturation" on the gray scale of color.

IMHO ten minutes of work in GIMP and Nifscope, maybe half a hour with searching the mantle and hood in an plugin.

DIY :thumbsup:

@david brasher:i requested it before (it has been done) but the modder didnt respond for some months now so i didnt get the files :/ and yep the scarf thing was part of a cape. i wanted the shoulder/ neck to be covered better than with the original pit armor. but also i dont know where he got the scarf thing from :(

 

@semtex i know its simple but for some reason i cannot open the files into nifscope. i thought i could handle at least the retexture but i failed :pinch: (shame upon me XD)...could someone help me?

Do you have the scarf model ? -- the retexture of everything is easy but would need the model and original texture for the scarf in order to do the retex

 

Here is a quick example without the scarf model --- FEMALE and Male --- you said you wanted dark grey so they are a bit darker but can be lightened easily if you prefer.

yep i´d prefer a bit brighterbut it looks cool that way too :D the scarf thing is from that shirt you get from the guy stepping out of sheogoraths gate quite at the beginning of shivering isles. as i´ve i just want the scarf; not the cape on the picture.

anyway if could add it and make it a bit brighter (like on the picture) it´d be awesome. if you couldnt would you sent me the files of both: the brighter version AND your version cause it really looks cool too :thumbsup:

The shirt you mention has that part attached to the rest of the shirt so would need to be taken into a 3d modeling program to remove the rest of the shirt and then be added to the pit armor cuirass and reskinned to avoid it clipping through the other parts of the cuirass when the player moves -- I'm not sure how to do that (I have a little knowledge of importing\exporting things into the modeling program but have never weight painted models for animating them) so someone else would need to do that part if it is not available as a seperate piece already. I'll lighten up the rest of it and send you a copy of the 2 without the scarf and if you can find someone to either do the scarf as a seperate piece or add it to the pit cuirass model I can match up the textures for it. (I thought I had seen that scarf portion in some other mods but do not remember where but for someone that can weight paint models (ie. has experience making armor for OB) it should be a pretty simple thing to import it delete the portion of the shirt that is unwanted and recopy the weights to the vertices that are left but the only weighting I have done is on helmets that only attach to the head so do not need blended weights.

Do you need them placed in game or do you just need the Textures ?? Is this light enough or do you still want it a bit lighter grey ? (Male - Female )

 

If you want them placed in game -- what Stats do you want them to have and where do you want them ( Just placed somewhere to pick up or sold by a specific merchant ? and do you want them to respawn (so you can enchant different versions) ?

 

Let me know and I'll put something together and upload a link for you to download.
