About this mod

Helbourne's Chitin Armor dynamically added to the game world.

______________________________
WHAT THIS MOD DOES:
------------------------------------------------
This small mod will add several armor pieces from Morrowind for your Dunmer or Cheydinal character. Two shields, two helms, and a full suit. You can also equip pauldrons as a separate item. Their weight, health, and protection are the same as in Morrowind -- a fine suit of Light Armor that doesn't break the game. Since chitin is so rare in Cyrodiil, the base price is five times the going rate in Vvardenfell.
______________________________
VERSION HISTORY:
------------------------------------------------
There are three versions of this mod. 

V1 just makes the items themselves using Helborne's meshes and textures. They won't appear in the game world.

V2 puts the items in Aldos Othran's inventory. He's the drunk dunmer in Cheydinhal singing about cliff racers. One of the few things the man salvaged, except for his drinking money. You'll have to get them off of him somehow.

V3 puts the items somewhere in the basement of the Cheydinhal Fighter's Guild, but not just anyone can barge in there and take them.

______________________________
COMPATIBILITY:
------------------------------------------------
No compatibility issues that I know of yet. I use GotY with Steam. If you have a mod that messes with Othran, try the Guild version, and vice versa.

______________________________
KNOWN BUGS and TO-DO LIST:
------------------------------------------------
This is my first mod, so there are bugs. I'll work them out if I can, because my Dunmer Gladiator has been using chitin armor since she joined the Fighter's Guild in Vivec, and I'm gonna play through the Oblivion Fighter's Guild Questline with her.

-pauldrons don't appear when wearing the full suit. MAJOR ISSUE

-it has to be a full suit. The reason is detailed over in the required companion mod. Currently seeking modelers and .nif editors to help separate these items.

-I'd like to integrate the weapons eventually.

______________________________
INSTALLATION:
------------------------------------------------
Download manually and unpack the .esp of the version you like into your Oblivion > Data folder. They have the same name so you can only have one at a time. Enable the .esp plugin (I use NMM) and you should be good to go.
