Ring of Shadows

Description
Adds two rings to the game, both of which make you invisible while sneaking, with different visual effects

Both can be found in Astrid's room in the darkbrotherhood sanctuary, on a dresser near the unusual gem (stone of barenziah)

The first ring is called the Ring of Shadows, While sneaking it will make you invisible, a shadowy smoke will persist while your invisible. This effect is undetectable by npcs, and is purely for effect and visual referance to your characters location.

The second ring is called the Ring of Enduring Shadows, While worn this ring will cloak your character in shadow (even while not sneaking), and make you invisible while sneaking (The shadow effect on your characters armor stays, while invisible, producing a slightly transparent shade-like apearance that i found rather neat, again not detectable by npcs.)

{{{{SCREENSHOT ARMOR}}}}
The armor worn in the screenshots is Better Shrouded Armor, found on steam or nexus, with some pieces from the Black Sacrament armor mentioned earlier (mask, tassets, pendant, cloak

{{{Known Issues}}}
1. Losing Invisibility: Getting a kill move from sneak (IE slicing their throat or any killmove that briefly removes you from sneak.) tends to bug out the rings somewhat so that you are no long invisible when you return to sneak

2. Eye Bug: There is a known bug with any invisibility in the game which causes your eyes to sometimes look strange after the invisibility has ended. It's possible to fix this with script effects (The Black tower and Black sacrament armor mods on the nexus have such a script effect built in, and infact the invisibility effect on one of the pieces of armor was the inspiration for this mod, but that mod had all custom script effects, mine merely uses vanilla effects.)

{{{FIXING KNOWN ISSUES}}}
1. Losing Invisbility: Simply unequip and re-equip the ring (or equip a different one) and that should fix it. Even the shadowcloak of nocturnal ability requires a "resneak" after a kill move, with my limited scripting knowledge I'm not sure how to get around this issue.

2. Eye bug: An easy console fix for the eye bug is Player.setnpcweight 75 (or whatever weight % you want your character to have)

(((Intended Updates}}}
None.

*SPOILER, DO NOT READ IF U HAVNT FINISHED THE MAIN DARKBROTHERHOOD QUEST*
will the rings still apear when the first base burns down?

It should just be a resneak. Not an unequip. It should be simple to activate the ring upon the trigger of ENTERING sneak, and attacking and other things cancle the effect. The effect should stop entirely until you stand up and re-enter sneak, re-activating the script. You shouldn't have to re-equip the ring everytime.

Can you still find these rings after the Dark Brotherhood Questline?
and how long will you think it will be to fix the issues you're currently having?

are these rings disenchantable? if not can you make them to be.

In regards to the wierd eye bug, it seems if you turn into a vampire lord, then back into normal mode, the eyes are fixed.

Just noticed this: using this with Better Vampires' sneak-feeding feature does not remove you from stealth. I can finally feed in the middle of a city!

I love this mod... but there is one thing... you should add an effect so when you use it it drains your stamina or somthing.

I am actually curious if you could make an amulet version of this. I have a ring I like using but because you can only wear one at a time... Kinda makes choosing hard ^^; Invisonecklace pl0x? :D

@Mummble console commands. type in help "ring name" these " included, but replace ring name with name of the ring (last part not directed towards you, to people who are too stupid to tell :P)
