To get the armor without the book, you need to download The Witcher 2 - Geralt Light Armors and Witcher Swords v06b version, not the latest version, And then download the "Raven armor retextured" not the "Raven armor retextured 2". Because the v06b has tga files and the raven retexture 2 have dds files so you need the older versions of both mods to make it work v06b and raven retexture 1.
@ Everyone who is still interested in getting the bookless outfit you see in the pics: I managed to make it work. Here's the scoop.
You're not getting the bookless outfit because the latest version of Geralt Light Armor & Witcher Swords and the latest version of The Witcher 2 Models don't seem to have it. So if you've got the latest versions of them, that's why you're not seeing what you want.
Do this:
Download The Witcher 2 - Geralt Light Armors and Witcher Swordsv06b. Do NOT download the latest version in the main files section. The Raven Armor that hucifer originally released had no book swordbelt -- that was added later, in v07b.
So v06b is the one you want. It's an older version of the mod and can't be installed with NMM, so you'll need to install manually. Make sure you deactivate The Witcher 2 - Geralt Light Armors and Witcher Swords v_1_1_1 from your mods list first to clear its .esp file from your plugins list, or else the outfit with the book belt will still be enabled. Then, after you manually install v06b, you need to enable its .esp file in the plugins list.
Downside: v06b is dated and hucifer has fixed some bugs and made some improvements since then. You can read the details of what those are in the mod's changelog or files menu. If any of them seem like deal breakers to you, you may be able to just enable v_1_1_1, but replace its meshes with renamed versions of the v06b meshes. Haven't tried it so I don't know.
Downside: I don't know any way to make this work on LordofWar's models.
So that is why I now carry a book, when I did not before. I have been off-game since 4/12. That is why I do not like Skyrim Workshop, the mods "update" every time you load your game to play, and sometimes screw them up royally. I have been in the process of transferring all my mods to Nexus to avoid that. Looks like I have more tweaking to do. I will try the suggestion noted here, and post the results.
i downloaded the v06b but the retexture doesnt work, it still looks like the original v06.. I really like the retextured armor but I cant get the retextured version
can anyone tell me where i find this to craft it, i have looked and its not in any of my smitting....?
so i finally got it to craft but its not the retuxer it is still got the brown pants crafted it like 5 times and still cant get the black ones.. no idea what i am doing wrong at all....
nvm got it had to add the retexture manually and it worked for me finally
Help me out, man. I'm having the same problem as these other two. I'm trying to equip the bookless outfit, but it shows up with belt, book, and tan leggings. The weird thing is that the jacket image in my inventory (and in the smithing menu) is bookless and beltless, the way it ought to be. It's only when I equip it that it shows up with book and belt and tan pants.
I have to be messing up somewhere, I am trying to get the raven armor without the book, and with matching black pants and gloves, so far I have managed the exact opposite, coloured pants, brown gloves, booked jacket. Could I get a pm or reply here explaining to me exactly what I should be doing to obtain what I desire?
Did anyone manage to install it? The second file is corrupted and the first one only contains tga files. It doesn't work with 'The Witcher 2 Models' mod as well as 'The Witcher 2 - Geralt Light Armor and Witcher Swords' so i have absolutely no clue what to do ;( Maybe somebody actually managed to install it and would like to give some hints?
To be more specific after installing the retexture mod the armor from both mods looks exactly the same as its original counterpart.
