Rebuild and fixes for Underworld Armory set
This is a rebuild of the beautiful Underworld Armory from Fraper. I have fixed several issues, and it should work now smoothly in game.
--------------------------------
Description:
After looking at Underworld Armory models and textures, I have found some bugs and errors, due to the porting from Oblivion, and I tried to fix them. In particular:
- LOD2 models and textures for correct behavior at distance (when zooming out).
- Alternate female model (EF and HF) without the chain skirt under optional files.
- Fixed textures, especially normal maps and specular maps.
- UW remapping of the textures for saving VRAM with no loss of resolution.
- Fixed the clipping in the armor neck region in both human and elf versions, and fixed transparency in the upper chest region.
- Corrected the materials objects definitions.
- See-through helmet for both male and female. Removed the brown hair in the male version. Added a true hair in the female (with the right character color).
- Unique icons for the armor parts in the inventory. The armor chest icon use the male version. If you prefer the icon with the female armor version change "ico_arm2_snja.dds" into "ico_arm_snja.dds" and delete or change name to the other icon file with the male version.
- Rebalanced stats. Thanks to Crypto217 for the idea. You still find the original (.uti) files of the original mod in the main file, so you can use them and replace the rebalanced one if you prefer.
- Integration in the game in an optional file. Thanks to Crypto217 for the idea. One set should be in the two smith's chest in the Crime Wave quest (NOT TESTED). Another set is scattered in the Upper Ruins during Nature of the Beast to be found (TESTED).
--------------------------------
Installation:
Extract the archive in you override folder.
You can acquire one set of armor at a time with the console: "runscript underworld_armory" as in the original mod.
--------------------------------
Notes:
Please tell me if you have issues or problems with it. I left normal maps and specular maps at full resolution. Beware that the true texture resolution is 2k as in the original mod. If you note stuttering, you can use the optional LITE textures in optional files with downscaled normal and specular maps ("_0n" and "_0s" files) with barely notable effects. The diffuse maps "_0d" are set to DXT1 format (reducing VRAM by 2x).
The original Underworld Armory is not strictly needed. This mod overrides 99% of it. The only scripts I do not override are the ones for automatic spawn of one set of armor in the player inventory at first load of a savegame. Due to unknown reasons, this script
