About this mod

Custom armor pack based on Norman Armory, made with a focus on historical accuracy and improving asset quality.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Norman Armory (the original) makes holster position changes for shields. this makes it incompatible with anything that changes holsters. However, I've provided two patches for the two most popular mods that also change holsters. You shouldn't encounter a problem unless you also have another similar mod. 

If you want to remove Norman Armory's animations, remove every xml except for items.xml, shoulder_rested.xml and project.mbproj.

If you still have holster position issues and you're willing to sacrifice Norman Armory's custom positions, remove the shoulder_rested.xml from Norman Armory. doing this also removes the requirement for the RBM patch for Norman Armory.


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

This custom armor patch is based on one of my favorite lightweight armor mods, Norman Armory.

I've retextured and resculpted assets from the original mod for a cleaner and slimmer look fitting the time period. Less 12-13th century fantasy, more period accurate 11th century. Think of the Bayeux Tapestry. I've based myself on archeological depictions for the most part but some inaccuracies may be present. It is still a hundred times better than vanilla.

For the sake of variety I also worked on the 12th century assets like the spoleto mask and the crusader helmet, and I've also added some crusader habits. 

I made several variations of armors that allow for better character customization, and I've also added several custom cape designs with better cloth physics. No more stretchy capes.

Most torso armors i worked on have had their physics reworked as well. A lot of helmets have been reworked and they look entirely different from the original.  Some people were bothered by the inverted normals on the fluted helmets. I fixed them. It is better that you see for yourself in the pictures.

This patch will be a requirement for my 11th Century Vlandian troops overhaul (Release TBD).

Notes

This will be updated periodically. I also want to get to the Byzantine and Arab armors in the original mod but first I'll finish with the Western European part. 

The mail coif models aren't mine. They were made by INKXO on sketchfab. All credits are in the credits section.
