The Provocateur's Armoury

I assembled these files from different changes I've made over the past few months. I found and repaired all the little problems I could, but if you find any easter bugs, let me know and I'll try to squash 'em.

 

Weight painting is not my strong suit (I'd rather drink bleach ) so there are some "imperfections" at the bottom hem of the robes. They're at a level I can tolerate. I'm a boob gal myself so I don't pay any attention to the bottom of the robe.

 

Installation: Use a mod manager to install, tick the ESP, build your bodies in BodySlide 2, and you're good to go.

 

Make sure your file path for BodySlide 2 looks like this:
data>CalienteTools>BodySlide If your data path is different, you’ll have to install manually.

 

The following custom armors use HDT meshes:

 

These armors can be tempered and enchanted.

 

Dream Warden- Female version only. Light armor based on Vaermina's robe can be crafted after completing a certain quest. Or search "warden" to use the console to attain it.

 

The Beacon- Female version only. Light armor based on the Shrouded Armor set can be crafted after completing certain quest. Or search "beacon" to use the console to attain it.

 

Emissary Combat Robe- Female version only. Enchanted light armor based on College of Winterhold robes can be crafted after completing a certain quest. Or search "emissary" to use the console to attain it. It can be tempered.

 

The Scoundrel Thieves Guild Armour- Male and Female sleeveless Thieves Guild armour. Does not use HDT because it just didn't look right.

 

Quests required to craft these armors:

 

To craft The Beacon armor pieces you must destroy the Dark Brotherhood. Complete the "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!" quest.

 

To craft the Dream Warden armor robe you must complete the "Waking Nightmare" quest.

 

To craft the Emissary Combat Robe you must complete the "Good Intentions" quest.

 

To craft the Scoundrel armor you must complete the "Loud and Clear" Thieves Guild Quest.

 

The female version of the following robes have HDT meshes, all items have custom textures:

 

All are replacers.

 

Female Journeyman Mage Boots
Blue robe and hood
Monk robe and hood
Brown robe and hood
Grey robe and hood
Red robe and hood**
Green robe and hood**
Necromancer robe and hood
Warlock robe and hood
Vaermina robe (I lowered the weight to 1 and defense to 0 while I was at it)
Blind Moth Priest robe*
Vampire clothes female*
Vampire clothes male*
Vampire boots*
Vampire gloves*
Vampire hood*
*require Dawnguard
**require Hearthfire

 

Female Journeyman Mage Robes now have HDT meshes.
Several mods allow for separate monk hoods and robes. Just search the Googly machine. I use: Winterhold College Improved by Sku11M0nkey.

 

This mod requires:
XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended v2.75 or higher by Groovtama
HDT Physics Extensions v14.28 by HydrogenSaysHDT
BodySlide2 and Outfit Studio v2.5 by Caliente
Dawnguard
Hearthfire

So this works with all the bodies in bodyslider 2? I am very new to using BS2, I only started using it about 10 days ago. Still figuring things out.

 

So with that in mind, how this works is like this? You install this mod with a mod manager then open body slider 2 and use the outfit studio thing to make them fit the body you choose and thats it? I still need to figure out the outfit studio.

 

But if this works with all the bodies that is fantastic.

[laniko]

You don't have to use the outfit studio.  Just make sure you have HDT installed properly first, then:

 

1.  Open BodySlide 2, all the shape data and slider sets are already in there.  

2.  In the Outfit/ Body category select the outfit you want to build.  These are labeled "Provocateur".

3.  In the Preset category select the body you want to use.

4.  Check result with Preview Big or Preview Small buttons.

5.  Click Build and the mesh will be created.  You're done with that outfit.

6.  Go play.

1.  Open BodySlide 2. 

2.  Select body you want to use in the Preset category.

3.  In the Group Filter space select Choose Groups in drop down menu.

4.  Tick Unassigned then click OK in the pop up menu.

5.  Click Batch Build in bottom left corner.

6.  Tick all outfits labelled Provocateur and click Build in the pop up menu.

7.  Once they are all built, click Ok again and you're done with all the outfits.

8.  Go play.

Ah ok, cool. Thanks for the detail install, as I said still learning how to use BS2. Will check out the mod this weekend and give it a try and see how they look in game.

I had time so I loaded it up and tried it out in game. It worked great, fantastic work. Any chance you might be willing to do the same to all the vanilla clothes? I have no idea how much work this is but you did a really good job with it.

Thanks!  I haven't decided what I'm doing next.  I know I'll be looking and listening for bug reports and considering changes for this file.  After I've done that, I just don't know.

Bodyslide stops when I try to preview any of the outfits. 

 

Is there something else required?

Bodyslide, HDT, and Dawnguard are what I list in the description.  I did forget that the red

robes and green robes require Hearthfire, I'll fix that right now.  Is there any particular outfit or type of outfit causing it?  

[hamthe3rd]

The first two, boots and Gauntlets, come up fine. The outfits crash the program...

 

 

Edit... I uninstalled it. Something about the thing is crashing my game as well. 

 

I did notice that you don't have a group entry in the folder that usually has that for other outfit mods in Bodyslide. Just to let you know.

I don't know.  I've installed on multiple machines and cant replicate the crash.  It did crash when I didn't tick the esp in the manager, but that's the only way I could force a problem.  Sorry I can't figure it out.  I will add a group entry after I find other problems to address, thanks for the heads up.

You are probably missing XPMSE 2.5+ (since it's also not listed on the reqs, but is a hard req for HDT) or using an old version of Bodyslide that doesn't have xpmse as reference. Bodyslide 2.5 is current.

Good point, I hadn't thought to list current versions on requirements.  I'll fix that.

Updated Bodyslide and it works now. Thank You.

I keep reading Bodyslide2, so are your meshes for a specific body or maybe useable in BS2 (uunp/cbbe)?

[laniko]

They're for whatever body you can build using BodySlide (BS2).  So yes, it's usable in BS2.  The outfits are labelled "provocateur" and there is a Slider Group if you want to build multiple outfits simultaneously.
