📋 About This Mod
This is a work in progress with weekly or semi monthly releases. If you\'d like to see screenshots of whatever I\'m working on, go here: http://s177.photobucket.com/albums/w226/SPARTANVI/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SPARTAN VI\'s - Spartan Armor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Version: 1. 17 Date: 3/31/2007 Category: Weapons and Armor Author: SPARTAN VI Source: http://www.tessource.net Description =========== This is the second release of my Spartan Armor. It\'s very different from the v1. 0 release. The following changes have been made: 1. New helmet! An all new helmet I modelled myself. Looks like a mixture between 300 and historical helmets. 2. New muscle cuirass! Prometheus at elderscrolls.com has incredible talent and granted me the permission to retexture his hyborian cuirass. 3. Larger Aspis! I made the shield 1. 3 times larger and retextured it somewhat. 4. Xiphos blade now included! This is an ancient Greek weapon, usually short, but even shorter for Spartans. Thanks to BoneBrew22 for allowing me to retexture his Sting blade. 5. Available in both heavy and light flavors! I wanted you heavy armor folk to enjoy this as much as the light armor guys. Heavy armor looks identical to the light armor version, but I made it obviously heavier and added a couple AR points in an attempt to balance it out. (AR is comparable to Legion armor) 6. Robert\'s body mod! The upper body of this, notably the arms, is from Robert\'s mod. Wasn\'t a choice of mine, it came with Prometheus\' cuirass. *IMPORTANT Someone\'s (that\'s his username) Capes and Cloaks are not included in this mod. Please search tessource.net and download it seperately. Trust me, the CRIMSON CAPE* really makes the armor come alive! Location ======== You can buy both heavy and light versions of this armor at the Imperial City Market District: A Fighting Chance. There are 3 full suits of each available for sale as well as 3 Xiphos blades. Future Plans ======= I plan on releasing a female version of this mod using corwyn\'s body mod as well as vanilla bodies. Once completed, I will begin working on Roman Legionary armor. Install ======= 1. Extract contents to a temporary directory or directly to your Oblivion\\data folder. 2. It should only ask you to overwrite if you had a previous version of my armor or another type of armor named \"spartan\" 3. Enable the SPARTAN VI\'s - Spartan Armor.esp in the Oblivion Launcher, or with your favorite mod manager. Load order should not matter. 4. Launch Oblivion! Uninstall ========= 1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file. 2. Delete the mesh\\armor\\spartan and texture\\armor\\spartan folders. To remove the Xiphos, delete the mesh\\weapons\\xiphos folder. Upgrade ======= To upgrade from v1. 0, simply extract v1. 1 files over. It should overwrite most of the files. Other files were unchanged or not used by v1. 1. Be sure to disable v1. 0\'s ESP file and ena
