About this mod

Makes throwing knives appear on the chest, like a bandoleer and/or around the legs. Appearance dynamically updates based on the number of throwing knives in your inventory and the tier of your throwing knives. Meant to be a safe addition to Lorerim that does not add any mods. Just follow the guide

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Intended for Lorerim 3.0+.  Should work on any modlist using Requiem with Noxcrab's tweaks to armor and weapons as well.

Description
  • This mod makes any throwing knives in your inventory appear in a "Bandoleer" configuration across the chest, or on the leg, or both.  The number and type of knives will update based on your inventory. 
  • For example, If you have at 4 steel throwing knives, your character will display a maximum of 4 knives. If you only have 3 knives, it will show 3 knives. If you have 2, it will show 2, etc.
  • If you have higher tier knives in your inventory, they will take priority over lower tier knives.
  • Everything updates dynamically as you pick up and use throwing knives, no player input needed.
  • Chest preset holds 4 knives
  • Leg preset holds 3 knives
  • Both preset holds 7 knives
  • Chest knives are "used" before leg knives. This is configurable using the "minimums" settings in the IED menu
  • (NEW in version 2.1)Throwing knives only appear if your character is wearing chest armor. They will be hidden if you are wearing clothes or not wearing anything.

I recommend using one of the "Satchels" from Nirn Accessories (Included in Lorerim) if you're using the Chest or Both preset.  Knife placement is based on the satchel straps.


Installation
Screenshots shows what the menu looks like.

  • Install this mod in the Lorerim mod organizer
  • Rename the mod and put [NoDelete] in front of the name, so that it's not deleted on list updates
  • Load your game and press "Backspace"
  • Find "Display Manager - Custom". If you can't see it, check the view in the top menu
  • Make sure your character is selected
  • Load the preset named "Throwing Knives" CHOOSE ONLY ONE PRESET, LEGS, CHEST, OR BOTH
  • (OPTIONAL) Adjust the position of knives, by going to the "Transform" section of each knife (Knife 1-4)


Known Issues
  • Clipping can occur based on armor. I recommend adjusting the transform value if it doesn't look right on your character (See screenshots)
  • Only takes into account inventory, not equipped state (e.g, if you have 4 knives, and equip one, it will still appear you have 4 knives on the chest until you throw it).
  • The center point on the model for iron knives and silver knives is different from every other throwing knife, which means they will be slightly misaligned from the other knives. I recommend not using these knives if it bothers you
  • Only accounts for base knives. IGNORES enchanted versions of knives.  You can adjust this yourself in the IED presets if you want to.

Leave a comment if you need help with the IED menu. It can be confusing, but it's very powerful once you understand how it works.

Build Guide:
I originally created this mod to support my poisoned throwing knives build for Lorerim 3.0.  I created a guide that you can follow if you want some inspiration for playing a similar character in your Lorerim.
