Tailored clothes and armor

[cailic]

Has anyone made a mod were you have to get the armor and clothing found on dead bodies tailored to fit before being able to wear them?  It's kind of silly that a woman gets the armor off a massive Nord male and can equip it right away.  It shouldn't be useless either.  Take it to an armor smith or tailor to have it fitted to you for a price.  In a day or two or more, depending on the armor or clothing, you can pick it up from the armor smith or tailor and use it. 

 

I'm not sure how this would be done.  The only thing I can think of, since you cann't tag every piece of armor in the game, is make a tag to go on the tailored armor.  Only Tagged armor or clothing the player can wear.  Of course, this would probably mean that even store bought item would have to tailored (tagged).  But that makes sense.  Clothing, back in the olden days, was made for the person.  There wasn't any mass production to make clothes in every size.  But then, I suppose, the tag could be immediately applied to the items when coming from a vendor. 

 

Modifying the armor/clothing yourself should also be possible at the forge or tanning rack.  You could make it into "Tailored-Legendary" armor.  NPC's would have to be able to wear the tailored armor otherwise you couldn't make any for your followers. 

 

I don't know much about modding.  I don't know if it's possible.

I like the idea, still new to scripting so no idea how I would do it yet though. Maybe instead of straight up not being able to wear the armor you get debuffs for not being to attack properly? and different tailor levels? Prob thinking too much into a simple mechanic... I might fuck around in the CK with that idea. ?

The way I see it the game kind of have that with smithing and tempering.

You get your run of the mill standard armor picking it off the ground with standard armor rating, but tempering it (or tailoring it) gives bonus armor rating.

I do not believe that this is at all possible, the amount of armor and tens of different body types.
All of this would have to be integrated in the game, I'm just saying hard work for a modder.

 

Here is a game with this option, but there are only a few armor.

integrate what?

having to transform a male armor to a female armor... useless stuff

 

active effect useless, condition is_player, that's never to be load on a npc, and it load a script like that

 

scriptname uselessscript extend active effect

 

event onitemadd()

if npc.getsex != player.getsex // function is something like that if it's not that

   item.useless = false

endif

// you use unp, npc is cbbe

if npc.getrace != player.getrace //nord use that body, orc use thise body, races are there for that

   item.useless = false

end if

endevent

 

event onitemequipped() //that's the worst events to call, stack dump friendly

if item.useless == false

   player.unequip(item)

endif

endevent

 

 

to replace false with true....

copy paste workbench as new record workbenchuseless

when you select an armor there, instead of tempering it, it reverse item.useless

Cann't wait to see what you come up with.  Seems to me that it would be a fairly simple script.  I don't know what limits Skyrim imposes.  Not sure that I understand what yatol posted above.  The more time I read over it, the more I seem to understand it.  But I'm slow, so I would have to read it at least another dozen times.

nothing complicated above....

Int GetArmorRating()

• Returns the armor rating for this armor.

armor.getarmorrating(), that's to get the armor rating of that armor

 

String GetModelPath(Bool bFemalePath)

• Returns the file path for the nif file representing the world model of the armor.

armor.getmodelpath(), that's to get the nif of that armor

 

Bool IsClothingFeet()

• Are these shoes?

armor.isclothingfeet(), that's to check if that armor is boots

 

simple stuff

 

you have 6 nifs for an armor, one for males, one for male orcs, one for female, one for female orc, one for male kid, one for female kid

there's no need to make 6 armors for those 6 nifs, unless you are sado maso

you give that armor one armoraddon that is only available to kids race, another for orc, and another for the other races

 

when you loot the armor on a kid, you can't equip it, because armor.useless is set to false (not the same gender, you can also npc.weight - player.weight > x if you don't want to wear weight 100 npc gear while you are weight 50)

setting that to true from a dialog with a npc... yes, it can be done, but looking for that armor in a list of all armors from your inventory...

it's better to use an edited copy paste of workbench, forge, enchanting table or whatever, easier to find the armor in crafting interface

you select the armor, and the craft it's just setting armor.useless to true

and now you can equip that armor
