📋 About This Mod
Dark Woods Armor and Weapons vs. 0. 5 by Khugan April 2009 Description This mod brings a set of custom light armor and various weapons to Oblivion. The armor was inspired by a set in another game, but modeled and textured entirely by me. The items are designed to work with Roberts Male and HGEC Female Fighter body mods, but should work with the Eye Candy female body as well. In addition to the unique versions of male and female armor there is a custom sword, axe, knife, and small buckler. There is a custom set of arrows as well as a retexture of my Seraphim Bow. This is an initial release, so nothing has been enchanted, and you can\'t buy arrows in any store. At this point this mod cannot be considered a modders resource. JDFan has been give permission to release retextures if he chooses to. Details There are two chest outside, right behind the vineyard at Skingrad. One chest contains the armor and weapon, and the other chest contains arrows and set to respawn. Known Issues/Plans Very high polygon count. Textures are not consolidated into a smaller amount of files. No enchantments yet. No quest yet. (Anyone Interested in making a quest for this stuff?) Some clipping present. When the bow is initially equipped, it is very high on the back. Drawing the bow and returning it fixes this. (No idea what is making this happen) The off-hand axe will sometimes swivel around in your hand for some strange reason. (again, no idea what is causing this) Credits Bethesda Softworks for everything they do. Models and textures by me using Blender, Nifskope, and The Gimp. VagabondAngel for the shiney texture. JDFan was a huge help to various technical issues with the bow and arrows. Strongbow for beta testing and inspiration. All the modders that came before and inspired originality and creation TES4FILES Thanks to TES Nexus for hosting my mods. Installation Copy the contents of the archive to your Oblivion Data folder and check the .esp when you load the game. If your having trouble locating the items, see the Release Thread here http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=975147
