📋 About This Mod
Edhildils Mithril Armors Author: Edhildil 6,3,2013 ver 1. 1 IF THIS MOD IS NOT FOR YOU PLEASE SKIP IT. Please read all of the description before you post a comment. This is a female standalone Armor mod, I made it from scratch and Calientes CBBE body. The lowerbody has been enhanced in the derrier region (buttock) for a fuller, rounder profile. The waist is somewhat thinner. Armor, Boots, Gauntlets, and Helm in two styles: Mithril and Black Mithril. Craftable under Elvish catagory. I only made one size as the armor was made from my tailored body shape. If someone wants to make it for another body type, Bodyslide or BBP, go for it. I\'m not going to remake this. Bodyslide and BBP conversion of this armor is now available as part of Bodyslide CB Plus Plus. Download the \"CB Plus Plus 6 - Various\" package. The main package is required as well. It is here (version 1): http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32731 version 1. 2 I have now added: Blue, Grey(original black version), Green, Purple, Red, and Yellow Mithril craftable sets. Like previous versions, I also added tempering to the armors, but I haven\'t tried to temper any of them, the effect as yet is unknown to me. because the Shader properties are different, and the textures are shared, the meshes need to be different = Bigger file size. So.. that makes me think that if Caliente can make a mod that rewrites meshes there must be a way somehow to make a slider for specular intensity and the actual color spectrum, in which case, the file would be much smaller. Until then or if then, this mod uses the Oblivion approach by using a separate file for each different color scheme. And yes, I just proposed an interesting idea that is outside my modding ability: Sliders for color and intensity values for Specular,emissive,lighting effects,environment map scaling, etc. Or i\'m a science fiction writer on glue. for now, separate meshes is how i\'m going to do it. In other words, these aren\'t texture swaps, they\'re Shader Properties that are unique for each color and mesh. FOR MODDERS: *(others please skip to \"other notes\" below, it\'s a bunch of tech mumbo-jumbo and very caddywhompas) That being said, just copy/paste the BSLightingShaderProperty of each color for BBP modders, don\'t convert 8000 identical nifs. Nifskope users can customize the colors by altering the Specular Color property by clicking on the rainbow icon to the right of the Specular Color in the Block Details of the BSLightingShaderProperty. Emissive colors can be altered to, as well as the Specular Strenth (0=none, 999=maximum). Not to mention the Environment Map Scale, which does something, I think, to the Environment Map (I think this is the chrome reflection; in oblivion I always saw trees reflected in my chrome stuff). Make a back-up Nif in case you biff it/have a blow out/wreck your mesh; or simply memorize what you twe
