[REQUEST/MOD IDEA] Lizard skin devious devices

[belegost]

Ever dreamed of being able to skin those beasts and make them actually useful?

 

No?

 

Well, clearly your mind is not as twisted and perverted as mine.

 

Anyway,  here's an idea: being able to skin argonian NPCs and make lizard-skin Devious Devices out of them. Or just a nice pair of leather shoes. Ideally with custom texture reflecting their origin, Hunterborn-style, with all the cleaning and preparing involved.

 

I have no idea how to make such a mod myself, I can't script, do textures, work with 3D meshes and I do not comprehend code, therefore I'm throwing this idea for a like-minded and twisted individual to maybe pick it up.

 

Surely you must've wanted Keerava to shut the fuck up, or make her suffer for all that shit talk she does. What would be more deviously devilish if not a gag and an armbinder made of Talen-Jei?

 

No?

 

How about a fashionable leather collar and a set of Derkeethus cuffs? Extracting an Argonian suddenly seems more appealing.

Gulum-Ei blindfold?

Jaree-Ra hobble dress?

Madesi corset?

 

So many choices, so little lizards.

What a beautiful idea.

Make a catsuit out of Keerava. Skin her, sew a zipper in, done.

Would make them lizards useful at last.

 

Racism aside, just some snakeskin textures would be nice.

You know this actually sounds like a hilarious idea. It would require a catsuit asset though. I don't know how to make armor but the script would be fairly simple. Either let them drop loot on death or attach a script to a weapon or spell that checks if they are argonian and then allow to craft something.

Just plug it into Devious Devices. Doesn't have to be complicated. A piece of lizard leather that could be made into a unique-looking device. That's it.

 

Far as my limited knowledge goes all you'd need is a texture and a way to put it on a mesh, and rename it to something like Lizard Skin Armbinder, Lizard Skin Restrictive Boots, Lizard Skin Collar, etc. Meshes are already done and ready in DD framework. It's the texture that's the issue.

 

I once made non-devious pieces of apparel into one myself by just copying relevant records from the DD, and just changing the model in ARMA or something. Can;t recall now.

Like here.

Functionally it's an iron plug which I just copied and replaced the path for meshes. This is as far as I can do. I can't do textures or write scripts myself. Frankly I don't even know how this even works, I just followed a tutorial.

 

The thing is to have lizards drop the leather after death though. Maybe even implement a unique textures for each of the named NPCs. Making the protected ones killable is outside of the scope of what I had in mind. This can be done by other, already existing mods, or just by flipping the flag in xEdit manually on the user side, if they wanted a unique-looking leather to turn it into a unique-looking device.

Catsuits should be made from Khajiit. Cause Cat-suit
