While the meshes match Elven and Glass armor in order to not disrupt the vanilla elven and glass armor distribution the Thalmor versions have their own file structure so I believe a patch would be needed.
I haven't looked into CBBE patching in great detail but it should be simpler than working from scratch with a new mesh and I think the existing CBBE elven and glass armor can probably be retrofitted for this.
I love it. The black armor, i thought from the picture it was pseudo ebony armor but elven style but the design/texture, particularly the cuirass make it look like a black steel, a beautiful one.
I definitely like yours glass armor than the vanilla one, especially the small touch of pinkish.
I can't say much about the shiny armor, mainly because it doesn't look good on my monitor, pc potato. But i do enjoy it, its pleasing to look at. But still prefer the black version.
But sadly, despite how awesome looking they are. Its immersion breaking since there no cbbe conversion.
Which mean i can only admire your mods by killing thalmor instead of using them myself.
I've had a few requests for CBBE before, and someone did say they wanted to do it but that seemed to fizzle out for some reason. At some point I do want to come back and patch it, but no time frame as I'm focused on trying to get some new mods completed.
Maybe in the meantime someone takes a liking and sets up there own patch.
Found a small inconvenience with one of the file names when downloaded. The AOS patch will list as HA additions CCOR patch in MO2. Files are right so not a major thing, but did make me question if I had the right patch downloaded!
This was in reference to the right panel that shows the downloaded file, not the install file. I'll try to get a screenshot to show what I mean when I've finished downloading the collection I'm in the process of installing!
I'm on console jw if Does this mod remove the steel weapons from Thalmor levelled lists? Hoping I can replace the steel weapons that Thalmor use in the early levels while still having them wield the weapons from this mod mid to late game
It doesn't remove steel weapons from early game, it was originally planned to have it's own steel weapons but it grew out into it's own separate mod New Armory Series - Elven Steel Weapons. I don't believe anyone's ported Elven Steel yet but you'd need that and my patch porting over to get my weapons with the steel weapons replaced.
Sounds good to me, thank you Also thought I'd ask if you'd consider, Elven Set - Resurgence is in need of a CBBE patch. Iconic is more than happy for patches and has had some user demand for CBBE also so I'm sure he'd appreciate your work.
I'll see what I can do, making CBBE patches for sets that just do UV/Env/Cubemap changes are really easy but also really boring and tedius, I'll try make them and release them all at once next year If i have the time
I understand, when I took a quick look at how I'd do it did seem like repetitive work, whenever you find time always happy when someone wants to make patches
Oh yeah could I ask you to separate the opal.dds cubemap? So like, rename it to thalmor_opal.dds and apply the changes to the thalmorized glass, if you don't want to do it I could do it for you and message you the final result.
Thanks! I'll start on the CBBE patch for this mod today, I finished the Resurgence patches yesterday and direct message Iconic death with the download link.
Did a quick reupload, f/cuirass_1 nif decided it didn't want to update to the new file pathway should be resolved now, not expecting any errors now but let me know if you think something has an error and I'll fix it when I can
Is there anyway to get the Thalmor armor besides stealing/killing from Thalmor themselves? I was doing a Thalmor playthrough and I thought these would be great armors to use but I can’t seem to get them without being hostile to other Thalmor.
Currently outside of console commands no, I am thinking in future of adding crafting patches for those like yourself doing a Thalmor themed playthrough
I've never used CCOR so if you wanted a patch/integration relatively soon it's better that's picked up by someone who knows it better, Gilded Elven Armor Complete that this mod's esp is built from does contain some CCOR breakdown recipes for elven gilded armor that I've left intact, so I don't think it should be too difficult to get patched across the weaponry and new sets. If to get the enchant buff CCOR is looking for the key word "elven gilded" then the armor I think will probably get that buff
I should clarify that, because these items aren't "gilded" with gold, the patches don't add the keywords to them to trigger the buffs.
If anyone wants to add that functionality, it's just a matter of adding one of the following keywords to each item in SSEEdit. WAF_ArmorPerkGold [KYWD:01AF0221] WAF_ArmorPerkGoldShield [KYWD:01AF0224] WAF_WeaponPerkGold [KYWD:01AF0225]
Ah good spot, error I caused with gauntlets when doing keywords, thought I'd fixed them all before release, just uploaded an update thank you, let me know if it's solved on your end once you've updated
The armors look great! Just one question - are the silvery-looking textures for the (regular) elven gilded cuirass included in this mod? The cuirass is all golden in my game, like in vanilla, even though this mod seems to win all the conflicts.
Glad you like it, yes the textures are included it shouldn't look identical to vanilla but depending on your set up may look more silver or more gold, if it's just the cuirass there may be another mod that's reverting the records to the vanilla pathways but hasn't been flagged for conflict resolution in your mod manager for some reason, you can check this in SSEedit or the creation kit, alternatively if it's a specific enchanted variant picked up from a dungeon etc it may be a vanilla record I've missed rather than just an overwriting issue and I'll check to see if it's included and update the esp accordingly if I did miss it
Thanks for your reply! Checked in SSEedit and found the culprit. The WACCFP patch for Khash the Argonian reverted the model back to vanilla.^^ Fixed it and everything looks perfect now. Thanks again for your help and for this awesome mod!

Looking forward install this one.

Hopefully someone or yourself will make one.
Would recommend.

Would there be a Better-Shaped Weapons patch in the future?
Thank you for the response.

Small thing, when I check the plugin for errors I get this:
I wonder if it's an issue on my end.
