Witcher 2 Style Heavy Plate

Description
This adds a standalone and craftable version of the generic Steel Plate armour, and is essentialy a mesh and texture edit of L0rd0fWar's excellent ported Witcher 2 Heavy Plate armours and includes improved textures and normal maps to give it a more 'worn' appearance in-game.

** After a full re-installation, Steam Workshop refused to sync with my old files and as a result I was unable to upload anything to my original Mods, forcing me to delete them and re-upload again from scratch. Sorry for the inconvenience **

This version doesn't need the Dawnguard DLC in order to work.

Many thanks to L0rd0fWar for his excellent work in porting over the base meshes and textures from Witcher 2.

*** Before updating to a new version please uninstall and remove older files completely before installing the new ones to avoid any crashes and/or anomalies... You have been warned!! ***

This armour set can be crafted at a forge if you have the necessary materials and the advanced armours perk, just the same as the steel plate armour.

Changes:-
1.01
* Fixed some clipping issues with the wrists when using bare hands.
* Reduced clipping with the ankles.
* Made the 15th Century Armet and Hounskull Bascinet a seperate mod.

1.00
* Added Female meshes to both armour sets.
* Adjusted the visor on the open-faced Sallet to try and fit with the eye level on both male and female characters.

0.85
* Fixed Cuirass ground meshes.
* Added two variants of the Sallet, one without a bevor for the humanoid races to allow for beards 'etc', and another which competely covers and obscures the face with a bevor and a narrowed eye-slit; which can be used by the beast races.
* Added Nifskope friendly meshes for those who wish to edit/change the textures.
* Streamlined the textures used by each file to make it more efficient and reduce the overall file size.

With 0.80 & 0.81
* Added both armour sets as standalone, but left the option to use the Generic Steel Plate as a replacer for the Vanilla Steel Plate by adding an optional esp file in a seperate folder.
* Textures and normal maps have been edited to give both armour sets a more 'worn' appearance.
* Removed the Witcher 2 faction emblems and plate neck defence.
* Fixed some minor issues with helm width, tasset and knee rigging.

Known issues/bugs:-
* Some slight bleed-through and clipping at the ankles when using bare feet.

Yep, every time I went back to Skyrim again after a year or so I quite often had to start again from scratch if I was playing with any mods.

I can't remember the exact name I gave the armour but If you don't mind cheating to get it back again you can go into the console and type "help steel 0", "help plate 0" or "help BAR 0" the armour pieces should hopefully pop up in the list of results; then it's just a case of typing in the console command to spawn it into the game.

Oh, that actually is a good explanation to why mods screw up constantly on this version. Decided to start a playthrough recently and added this to my modlist but it just kinda screwed up anyways at some point.

Not really a *real* criticism considering the age, but just felt like mentioning it :Dogeface: :gearthumbsup:

To be honest, if you've tried to reload a save from a modded version of the original Skyrim from back in the day you'll be lucky that anything works due to how the game adds unique item id reference numbers to everything. You would pretty much have to ensure that all the mods you had installed back then have been reinstalled in the exact same order and that they haven't had any changes that add anything new 'etc'.

The only other alternative would be to cheat the missing items back in again using the console command.

this mod is 12 years old, regardless, it vanished from my inventory upon reloading a save :conwayshrug:

Pretty awesome mod. I trained my smithing like crazy to get it as early as I could and was not disappointed. The textures are great, the armor looks both unique, and fitting for the setting, I have used it my entire 50hr playthrough I liked it so much. Had a few issues with parts of my body being see through then mixing and matching it with some armors but overall works excellently.

Not really, if you look at it closely you'll notice that it's a mixture of both Gothic and Milanese armour with some fantasy elements added to it... Check out the boots and pauldrons (you'll not see anything shaped like that in our own history)... The base mesh was made for the game Witcher 2 and ported over by LordofWar.

This is just historical gothic armour from the Holy Roman Empire, I don't really understand the name.
