Credo - WIP

[luddemann]

@Jimreaper: Thanks for critique. Always welcome. However, I disagree with you on certain points:

 

I think my textures are bright enough, a lot brighter than the rest of skyrim.

 

I have yet to see ONE good chainmain texture ever made (hothtroopers alikr knight is a good example (no offense, just my personal opinion). I hate chainmail on 2d textures, therefor I will not use it on this guy, nor any other model I make. Except from minor details, which you can actually find here: If you see under his green shirt, it actually pokes out a little bit of chainmail. I did so to hint that he was actually more armored than he seems to be.

 

I dont think that too elaborate patterns look good in game because they just look caotic and dirty, again your picture is a good example.

 

I can easily change the green. I just liked the way the green contrasted the red.

 

I agree that the helm does not looks eastern enough.

hope u will create some different models for archers, light amored warriors, medium armored warriors and heavy armored warriors, would awesome ;)

Question for the creationkit part: should I add enchantments to some of the armors? for example frost resitance, armor rating and weapon rating to some stormcloak armors.

 

Btw I think the mod will get a size of 1 GB minimum with all these models and textures :D

it must be uploaded with more packed folders, for example:

models_part1

 

textures_part1

models_part2

textures_part2

 

but only on a size from 1GB ;)

 

I'll start to create a list of the actually models and send it to the credo team, I think its just The Medievals Knight, Luddeman and me? or are there some other credowip modders?

@Witcher5688 and rest of Credo Team :From my standpoint wouldn't it make more sense to not give the armors any enchantments so it can work better with the hypothermia mod FrostFall http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11163//?. I know a lot of people who like survival mods and more realism enjoy this mod (I being one of them). And I think it ties in perfectly with your making of armors that would actually keep someone warm in skyrim. Just a though guys.

P.S. I think Frostfall works with any imported armor so it should work with this project, however I don't know for sure.

 

P.S.S. Love the Alik'r armor Luddi and the Stormcloak Knight armor Witcher5688

[Witcher5688]

and special for frostfall user I though to add frost resistance enchantments to some stormcloak armors or armors for holds in cold regions (Pale and winterhold) ;)

and the stormcloak knight isn't from me, its a pic from actus' planned stormcloak armor :D

Yeah, don't get me wrong I like the armor. I have seen nice chain mail effects in some armor mods but I'm not at my computer at the moment so I can't show examples. It's not that important anyway it's just slightly silly for a frontline soldier to go in fighting with cloth and a slight bit of leather. The elaborate patterns add an oriental or Arabic feel to the alikr that helps distinguish them from the normal skyrim world

[TheMedievalsKnights]

they are good example of chain mail texture on the Actus ressources package :) You should use them

[luddemann]

I know. But again, I will never use chainmail for the major areas. It looks horrible when stretched.

[luddemann]

Ok. So I've edited it a little. I kept the green because I like it. Deal with it ;) I removed the helmet to distingish him from the stormcloaks a little bit more. Added a mask. The are going to assassinate a woman... Made him a little bit more armored shoulder pad plus chainmail skirt. Since you see chainmail poking out of his skirt both on his arms and skirt, there is no doubt that he has a full chainmail armor beneath. If some of you still think he isnt armored enough, consider this: the vanilla Alikr didnt wear any armor.

I personally have no problem with the green and think the armor looks great.

[luddemann]

Ok, So I tried out another color. I prefer the green. But here you go. (Took me like 2 min. Just altered the jpeg pic in photoshop.) I plan on having at least two color variants so that all the alikr dudes dont look exactly the same.
