SPARTAN VI's - Spartan Armor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Version: 1.17
Date: 3/31/2007
Category: Weapons and Armor
Author: SPARTAN VI
Source: http://www.tessource.net
Description
===========
This is the second release of my Spartan Armor. It's very different from the v1.0 release. The following changes have been made:
1. New helmet! An all new helmet I modelled myself. Looks like a mixture between 300 and historical helmets.
2. New muscle cuirass! Prometheus at elderscrolls.com has incredible talent and granted me the permission to retexture his hyborian cuirass.
3. Larger Aspis! I made the shield 1.3 times larger and retextured it somewhat.
4. Xiphos blade now included! This is an ancient Greek weapon, usually short, but even shorter for Spartans. Thanks to BoneBrew22 for allowing me to retexture his Sting blade.
5. Available in both heavy and light flavors! I wanted you heavy armor folk to enjoy this as much as the light armor guys. Heavy armor looks identical to the light armor version, but I made it obviously heavier and added a couple AR points in an attempt to balance it out. (AR is comparable to Legion armor)
6. Robert's body mod! The upper body of this, notably the arms, is from Robert's mod. Wasn't a choice of mine, it came with Prometheus' cuirass.
****IMPORTANT**** Someone's (that's his username) Capes and Cloaks are not included in this mod. Please search tessource.net and download it seperately. Trust me, the **CRIMSON CAPE** really makes the armor come alive!
Location
========
You can buy both heavy and light versions of this armor at the Imperial City Market District: A Fighting Chance. There are 3 full suits of each available for sale as well as 3 Xiphos blades.
Future Plans
=======
I plan on releasing a female version of this mod using corwyn's body mod as well as vanilla bodies.
Once completed, I will begin working on Roman Legionary armor.
Install
=======
1. Extract contents to a temporary directory or directly to your Oblivion\data folder.
2. It should only ask you to overwrite if you had a previous version of my armor or another type of armor named "spartan"
3. Enable the SPARTAN VI's - Spartan Armor.esp in the Oblivion Launcher, or with your favorite mod manager. Load order should not matter.
4. Launch Oblivion!
Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file.
2. Delete the mesh\armor\spartan and texture\armor\spartan folders. To remove the Xiphos, delete the mesh\weapons\xiphos folder.
Upgrade
=======
To upgrade from v1.0, simply extract v1.1 files over. It should overwrite most of the files. Other files were unchanged or not used by v1.1. Be sure to disable v1.0's ESP file and enable v1.1.
Incompatibility
===============
There are several reports from those using oldblivion of invisible textures. If this is the case, you may have to use v1.0, unfortunately. I don't use oldblivion and have no clue why this would happen.
Other than that, there shouldn't be any compatibility issues, unless of course you're using another armor that uses the same folder names!
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
No known bugs as of yet. There may be some clipping issues with both the cuirass and the skirt portion, but I cannot fix that. I also shrunk the helmet 5% from its original size, please notify me if there's clipping.
I didn't want users to download Robert's body mod to use this, so the upper body will use a male foot texture, so there may be seems present.
History
=======
1.17 3/31/07 - New helmet!
1.16 3/18/07 - Fixed the texture on the helmet again!
1.15 3/17/07 - Fixed the crest/plume on the helmet so it doesn't look like it's COMPLETELY floating.
1.1 3/16/07 - New helmet, new cuirass, larger shield, fixed texture paths.
1.0 3/08/2007 - Initial release.
