R0R0N0 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 ^Yeah that didn't sound right at all, did it. Back to the case with the faraam set: I've given up on separating the different spec parts, instead I'm going to refit it in its readjusted state because otherwise I start to over think things and end up delaying the fixes people are waiting for. Would have loved to convert something fully polished for once but I think this will be enough this time round.
KumamonTheWorshiper Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 ^That's alright. Trimming then seperating some parts does consume a lot of time. Especially for armor with freaktons of parts like this. Though, in my opinion, trimming and removing the specular effect on the inside of the helmet and refitting are two things you should do that's crucial in making this armor presentable. But it's okay if you don't want to do the trimming. No worries, i won't set my standard too high if you don't have a lot of time your hands. For this armor, if you do one of the two, it'll look presentable enough, in my opinion.
R0R0N0 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Oh I trimmed the part off the helmet alright, that's not very time consuming heh. I just gave up on separating the metallic parts from the cuirass, I can't wrap my head around doing weightslider support when you've got two separate meshes around the same area. I don't know why but I feel like time drain right out of me at the thought of that. So there is of course a much better solution, I'd much rather just create two specularity maps and blend them to my liking and in this case, I don't want the leather bits to look spec'd the to the max. *Pat on my back for learning photoshop when I did

Well, I always thought you were a bright mind, but this is way more awesome than what I was anticipated. Thank you again for creating such fantastic mods and giving life to a nice armor that is a must on Skyrim.

That means the spec problem are solved. But what about the cubemaps? Is it possible to remove or reduce those from small leather parts with phohotshop only? I have a feeling it isn't possible, but i could be wrong.
sirdanas Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Hi WorshipTheSatan, may i ask you the source of the DS2 conversion that you have posted? I'm trying to fix the Swordsman Armour and, if i manage to complete the work, i want to give credit to the original modder who converted it.

It used to be on the workshop but got removed. If i'm not wrong, it's by this guy: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198144156121
Zor2k13 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Been gawkin at this armor a lot... Get rid of the wannabe mage lower cape stuff, the fur and underlying fur support, get rid of the pants! Then all you have left is that armor part. I get to this idea from nifskope removing stuff. Then find some really good pants with knee armor that would fit what is left and you have some interesting armor. Find some better boots too something heavier but not armor plated. I am trying to do this right now but so far there are no pants that match they are all too skinny. It seems the waist line is too big to fit right with anything I can find. Maybe if there is some pants shaped to fit SoS mod body?

Maybe if there is some pants shaped to fit SoS mod body? What exactly do you mean by "wannabe mage lower cape stuff" ? XD It's the armor's design from the creators of DSII. Again, what do you mean by "get rid of the pants!" ? XD I agree on the weight slider for the armor, it needs to be a little more slim, but the boots, pants, cape mage thing, are necessities for the Faraam Armor. Else, you can't say it's a Faraam Armor without these. I don't know, maybe they need a little more darker color? But I think they are great so far.
Zor2k13 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Well I am not that interested in maintaining the DS look like you guys I guess. I am really just interested in the torso and pauldrons part of the armor since it could be used to replace iron/steel/leather armors of many kinds. The only problem is what to put for the lower half and some kind of belt in the middle that hides all the gaps. I just tried fitting the sos light average body_1 in the _1 model of this armor and it almost fit perfectly except for the back near the waist it was further out and the sides of the stomach were clipping through. If the lower half problem could be solved then the armor could be used in many ways not just this one way for DS stuff.
R0R0N0 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Okay here's my next update: https://www.sendspace.com/file/qfejm5 https://www.mediafire.com/?7p4zrp2dnr1rijd https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzj8ZEkOh_L0NDdTLVZPRVlKOVk/view?usp=sharing THE NIF FILES HAVE BEEN RENAMED SO THE EXTRACTED ZIP WON'T REPLACE THE PREVIOUS "NIF" FILES 4K Textures have been packed and used in this version, the 4K textures are from the DS nexus user EvilDeadAsh34 http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/554/? I've refitted the armor, I can't say for certain if it's better but I guess I'll be counting on you guys to tell me. I reassigned the incorrect textures around the waist and the hood. I split the cuirass into metal and leather/fabric via the use of bsdismemberskin instance, assigned a cubemap to the metallic parts and kept the spec low on the leather parts. I have both a separated cuirass.nif/greaves.nif and a combined together .nif file because of the "bsdismemberskin" technique I used, so you will not be able to use/equip the separated nifs together, instead you will equip the combined nif file. I bothered to create a ground model for once, nothing special though. The stats of course may not be to your liking as I was worried more about getting the armor to work properly. Most users here know how to use CK but if you don't and you want me to change the stats, do tell me There is a weird glitch around the underarm I can't seem to figure out how to fix, do tell me if you have come across it before.
hashigicc9 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 ^Awesome! I'll definitely check it out when I'll reinstall Skyrim, I did a format to my pc recently, and I need to install everything again. XD I have so much to do, good job as always R0R0N0! And don't listen to anyone who say otherwise or has a problem with the standart version of this armor, you're doing great and we are all indebted to you! Thank you, thank you so much for taking time from your life and creating amazing mods!
Zor2k13 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Your version looks a LOT better than the comfy knight version on nexus, the boots are so much better on your version too bad you can't wear them separately. Will you be making a female version too?
