Playable Imperial Watch Armor

The chunk value that I have assigned to this mod is 84. Oblivion Remastered is my first time modding anything regarding Unreal Engine, so I am not sure if only one plugin can claim the same chunk value. If that is the case, hopefully this information helps in case you run into compatibility issues with this mod.

Makes the Imperial Watch set and the Imperial Palace Cuirass lootable and playable. This bug was also present in the original Oblivion, so it's no shock that it was carried over into this remaster as well.

Restores the unique textures for the Imperial Palace Cuirass. While the unique textures were created for the remaster, the Imperial Palace Cuirass instead showed the same textures as the Imperial Watch Cuirass. This was due to incorrect texture paths for its mesh. I also made sure to edit both the _f and _m meshes, so rest assured Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 are covered by the restoration.

The pteruges (the flowy leather resembling a skirt) on the Imperial Palace Cuirass do not have physics. This issue is not terribly noticeable in actual gameplay, but it was an observation that I made. I believe that this is because the Imperial Watch Cuirass has proxy meshes associated with it, allowing physics. The Imperial Palace Cuirass unfortunately does not have proxy meshes in the game's files. I am not sure if I will be able to fix this issue. In case it is not clear, this is an issue with the base game, not caused by this mod. Because so little NPCs use the Imperial Palace Cuirass, it is not shocking that this small oversight made it to launch.

The Imperial Watch Cuirass has the same texture as the Imperial Palace Cuirass when dropped on the ground. Again, this is not a serious issue, but it may be annoying if you like to drop and display armor around your house. This has a higher probability of being fixed by me in the future.

The Imperial Watch Shield, Helmet, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Greaves, and Boots can all be acquired by looting a dead Palace Guard around the Imperial City Palace. It's up to you to figure out how a guard will meet their end—though my personal favorite method has always been making Umbra hostile and running all the way to the Imperial City Palace with her tailing you to take out some of the guards.
