I love the idea, but I don't think hat every hold should use the imperial sword mesh. Or better: none of them. I think the holds that support the stormcloaks and the stormcloaks themselves would rather fight only with their hands than using imperial stuff. I would recommend using the steelswordmesh.
I used the imperial sword because of its good model and its potential. And I don't care about the Imperial Mark on it. I think that mark is for me more the Logo of SKYRIM than the imperial-logo. I will do a version which uses steelswordmesh if i have time for it, but i can guarantee nothing.
Well, it's your mod and your decision. But thanks for noticing my suggestion. I already tried it with the steelsword. But the problem is... Where could you put the logos of the holds on it? Only the leather at the grip was suitable for that I think. But maybe you've got a better Idea. A friend of mine is learning to make weapons for skyrim. Maybe he could make some meshes just for this.
Hi everybody. I'm working on a complete guard weapons edition with my 3 guard weapon series mods in one and completely immersived. And i try without bugs. It will come soon.
Can I give some suggestions (for all of them, not just the swords)?
1) Have a version that is JUST the color changes on the weapons, no town logos. Personally, I love the colors, but not so much the logos. I'd endorse that so many times if I could (but I can't, because you can only endorse once). 2) Have an HD/high resolution version. I know it's a pain, but a LOT of people are HD nuts. Personally, I don't care about this, because I'd be using the non-HD versions anyway.
I know I've said these before, so, sorry if my repetition is annoying.
Okay, I've gone and played a bit and taken some screenshots. Feedback. (And I swear I like this mod, my feedback isn't meant in any bad way).
1) You might want to make a HD version (using the textures from the official HD pack), if you have the time and desire to. Or keep it in mind for future retextures. HD is usually a big selling point (though a lot of people also use normal textures). 2) The emblems on the sword itself (on top of the imperial symbols) aren't really visible. Removing them might be a good idea, because right now they just kinda interfere with the imperial dragon but don't cover it up. 3) Yeah, the guards have German names (I uploaded a screen of that). Fixing this is as easy as opening it up in TESedit and reverting those changes, though. Or so I heard. I don't know how to use TESEdit. There's tutorials out there. 4) Otherwise, I like. But the German guard thing is kinda bad, I'll have to abstain from using it until you fix that.
Oh, and I just noticed the optional file. ^^ Sweet. Thanks.
These are very cool, but would it be possible to change the imperial mark on the hilt to the respective cities mark? That way no matter if you go Imperial, Stormcloak or don't do that questline at all the swords will allways match the city they're from.
I tried that in Version 2.0. But because the imperial Mark is 3D on the weapon, it stays on the weapon. In the Screenshots, you dont See this, but in-game, you will. But i dont want to use Blender. Its just horrible, but the Result is Great, with or without that small fault.
If I'm allowed to correct you: the mark is not stored in the 3D-Model, but comes from the normalmap (the imperialsword_n.dds). Unfortunately, I have no idea of how to create normalmaps, but the issue could be solved without the use of blender ;-) Second, the Inscription "Imperial Empire" (if I read correctly) makes no sense, it's like "kaiserliches Kaiserreich" in german... And last, some of the guards still have their german names ("Wache von Rifton", "Wache von Windhelm", ...) Sad, this mod read great!
Okay, I've downloaded (and will be endorsing when my timer runs out), and I have a few comments.
1) Some of your swords are named after the city, while some of them are named after the hold. The ones you've named after the city are:
Guardsword of Riften, which would be "Guardsword of the Rift" Guardsword of Markarth, which would be "Guardsword of the Reach" Guardsword of Solitude, which would be "Guardsword of Haafingar"
& the Guardsword of Pale would be "Guardsword of the Pale"
I was going to do screenshots and the like but my game is being crash-happy and I don't have much time to fix it at the moment. Will comment more later.
Edit: It's not your mod that's causing the crashing. I didn't think it was, but I reread what I wrote and realized what I sounded like. Sorry.
I've Named it like the armors. In the German Version (dont know how its in the Others), its the Reach-Armor instead of the markarth-Armor. Would you please Look in the game for the armors And Tell me of it s Wright or wrong with the armors. If it Not Suits, i will Update it!
I know it now And will update it. I Name the swords After the Armor, Not the Shields.
Oh! Yep, I checked, you're quite right. I stand corrected.
However, I still think "Guardsword of Pale" would be "Guardsword of the Pale" (it sounds more natural, and the Hold itself IS named 'the Pale', not 'Pale' ), but it does follow the conventions of the game. So... yeah, I have no criticism, then. I'll get some screenshots of my guards uploaded by tonight/tomorrow morning.

I'm looking forward to it. ^^

Oh man, that was so much work.
So i wanted to do this mod, i had to take pictures of my monitor
Either way, I'm sure other people will add screenshots, too.
