📋 About This Mod
As it states above, this is a small patch allowing SPID to distribute gearshout's Nord Raven Battle Armor. The ESPFE included contains outfit files for all three variations of the armor. No hood, hood down, and hood up. The included _DISTR.ini files will distribute all three of these variants as complete outfits plus individual armor pieces to the following NPC's:
- All non-unique, non-Vigilant of Stendarr, non-Thalmor, non-guard NPC's will have a 0. 7% chance of receiving one of the three armor variant sets.
- All NPC's in the vanilla bandit faction will have a 0. 7% chance of receiving one of the three armor variant sets.
- All non-unique, non-Vigilant of Stendarr, non-Thalmor, non-guard NPC's will have a 1% chance of receiving an individual piece of the armor
These values may seem low but remember, collectively, you will have just under a 5% chance of seeing at least one of the full sets if your mingling with random NPC's and fighting bandits while your playing. These values can of course be changed to your liking by simply opening the included _DISTR.ini file and changing the percentage at the end of the line:
;ArmorNordRavenHoodUp
Outfit = 0x00000D64 - Nord Raven Battle Armor SPID Patch.esp | ActorTypeNPC | 0001BCC0 | NONE | NONE | 1 | 0. 7
The 0. 7 at the end is the percentage. Change the value to anything from 0. 1 to 100. That's it!
Don't forget to endorse gearshout for his badass armors!

💡 Beginner Tips

- Open the _DISTR.ini file in a text editor to adjust the distribution percentages—change the 0.7 to a higher value like 5 for more frequent spawns.
