[REL] Maafiaman's Gladius

[DirTek]

So I released another mod. It's not so great but it's an accomplishment to me.

 

Why?

 

Because this is my first mod with a custom mesh made by me from scratch. Of course I have tons of other weapons and some armor meshes lying on my computer waiting to be exported/rigged and textured then to be offered to you. But my time is limited and I am working whenever I find time.

 

Hope you enjoy this mod.

 

P.S. Link to the mod is at the end of the post ;).

 

This is the readme:

 

"Gladius

------------

 

Weapon plugin for TES IV Oblivion

 

Author: Maafiaman

 

Description:

------------

So finally the time has come for me to release my first mod with a custom mesh made by be. The sword is high poly and I worked on it quite some time counting that I am a beginner modeller. The texture is compiled by me from a reference photo that I used for the sword. The sword also has a custom icon.

 

This mod adds a gladius sword to the Imperial City Arena Bloodworks. You can find two gladius in the cabinet next to Owyn. NOTE! You must join the Arena as a combatant in order to get access to the gladius. The type is shortsword and the stats are same as Elven Shortsword.

 

ATENTION! This mod contains 2 sword meshes: one normal and one shiny (like glass armor and weapons). You can use only one weapon at a time. If you want both weapons in the game maybe I will release it in a future version. Check below for installation instructions.

 

Installation:

-------------

Open the Maafiaman_Gladius.rar (with WinRar or 7Zip). Then choose wich version you want to install (the archive contains 2 folders: Normal version and shiny version).

After that go to your Oblivion installation directory and enter Data folder (example: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\; but mine is like this :D:\Games\Oblivion\;" So I think you got the idea.

After that extract the content (NOT THE FOLDER...example not "Shiny Version"...open folder and extract folders: Meshes and Textures from Shiny Version folder) in the Data directory. A window will popup. Click "Yes to all".

Next start Oblivion Launcher, Data Files and look for the file "Maafiaman_Gladius.esp". Activate it by checking the box next to it.

 

After that enjoy ;)

 

 

P.S. Sorry for this "tutorial" but I noticed that there are people who don't know how to install mods. So maybe this will help them :).

You can use any part of this mod as long as you credit me for my work. Also it is not necessary to ask for permission but it would be nice.

I would also like to know in what mod/s this is gonna be included (if it's gonna be included)."
