Brash, I was trying to send you a pm (regarding the mod), but your inbox is full.

Well frankly I've been highly distracted by Shivering Isles I have two major issues to resolve, I thought I had fixed a first person view bug with the Foulweather Cloak but I apparently didn't. I still have to research how armors are given a first person setting I think before I can get that fixed. The other major isue is relocating the entire archer camp to a spot not conflicting with the Weye Village Mod, I had a few places I was scouting out but no spot I yet really like all that well. I'll probably have to rebuild the esp again to make sure I don't leave behind any "dirty" references to the original location. I need to solve both of those before doing a final release, and since neither one was getting solved quickly, I have since been lured into the expansion which will likely slow down progress even more. I also have to finetune a few final stats. I'm still using the test/debug version I posted for my own character, which is mostly ok for use now, except the issues noted. There is another armor mesh I forgot to include in it, a sleeveless variation of the gladiator/arena outfit which was earlier giving me an armpit tear (http://oblivion.brashendeavors.net/bows/armpittear.jpg) but which dev akm was able to have a friend fix for me, then I forgot to include it but should be in the final also. Some others I was toying with but I think I need to maybe stop looking at new variations and start getting a release version ready instead. Translated: no ETA right now on a final release.


Yeah, sorry about that Its cleared out a little now but I tend to keep a lot of old messages archived and the 100 message limit keeps getting hit. Try again now, unless 4 other people message me first ^_^

My archer adores these new toys and can't wait to play with them. Please don 't get too distracted by Sheograth, Brash!

Hmm, either the four others were faster or the forum doesn't want me to send pms. I'll write you an e-mail instead.

I really like this mod, but I don't think the Court boots go with the rest of the armor. They're way too bulky. I also think the foulweather cloak is WAY too big.

'ello brash, just a simple question, and observation...

Is the foul weather cloak set to use the cape slot? When I tried it on, I was wearing a cape (From OOO, the Dragon's Skin Cape, to be specific). The Foul Weather Cloak replaces my shirt, but I was still wearing the cape. Looked kind of comical in third person, clipping everywhere.

Maybe if you set the foul weather cloak to use the cape slot, you could wear it over your armor. I'm just a hack when it come to the CS, so dunno if that would work.

There is no cape slot.

Capes are most commonly set to amulet or tail slot, but can be set to other slots as well. The only way to be 100% certain to "replace" any other cape you had on at the time, would be to set it to use many more slots than it needs to by use up any potential alternate cape slot. Which would also limit you from wearing anything else using any of these slots (such as a real amulet etc). The tail is the most common slot for capes but people might also be using that for something else, and the cloak does need to use chest+hair, so that would mean it now used three slots total. Which seems a lot, I'll think about that one some more, though.



I am not happy with the court boots yet myself and those will be redone. The foulweather cloak however will likely stay big and bulky, there's a smaller cape & hood for nicer weather.

I've been playing the test versuion all day: my ranger loves her new wardrobe!

I have two requests though. Can we have some matching gloves for the reinforced leather set? And could one set be the equivalent of glass armour in protection rating? Cost could increase of course, and maybe you could only buy it when you are level 20 plus. It seems a shame for our characters to "grow out of" these wonderful armours, even though I think you intended them to be useable by new archers. Pretty please?

Yes, to both. I'm been sorting through glove meshes looking for one that I think will go well with the reinforced set.

And the more expensive reinforced/court gear will eventually be equivalent to glass (with a very high pricetag). I just didn't have all of the stats sorted yet so that cheap gear = low AC, expensive gear = high AC.

Miriamel also sent me some great AI tweaks for the archers camp that also puts them on more sensible routines and schedules.

My character loves his new Ranger-style armors. Any news on a non-beta release?

Dare I ask if there's anything new going on with this?

Brash disappeared somewhere into the Shivering Isles... (fortunately, since she already has teenagers at home, she's largely immune to the madness of the isle, so there's hope she'll return to this mod eventually)

Oh, good. ^_^ Can't wait for an update.

These are beautiful.

I really can't believe I missed this thread.

I've wanted more earthy clothing and armor, since I started playing the game, and I see exactly what I envisioned as woodsman gear here.

It's the simple and non-flashy work that blend the best with this game.

Thanks very much, for making this Brash. Hope you keep up the great work.

She stepped into an interesting-looking portal on the interenet and was last seen wandering through the sands and woods of Dereth. She'll find her way back somehow though, I'm sure. She has a good sense of direction.

Asheron's Call?

Brash, this is simply amazing! Everything there looks wonderful, I'm dowloading the test version cause I cant wait to use the equipment.
I agree with someone elses earlier suggestion, you should contact Fran to get your gear into his mod, it would defenitely make the cut.
Awesome work!

Thanks very much, Crustacean. I'll let Brash know you liked the mod.

*misses Brash around the forums*

:(

I'll second that. The gracious and cultured Mrs. Wyrd's presence does much to elevate the tone around here. And the posts of her gallant and erudite spouse generally combine instruction with amusemant most efficaciously.

Well she definitely needs a break considering the awe inspiring goddess like help she gives in the Forums. Especially in the hardware forums with all that software and tech knowledge she has.

It's more like Mr. Endeavors. If I modded for the next five years I would never create anything as good as what she can turn out in a month. And I could never help as many people as she has helped. I just don't have her touch. I never will. What she sees in me is a mystery to me and I pray the gods that she doesn't wake up one day and realize at last who I am. When that day comes I'll be flat out on my ass.

*Is very exited*

Can't wait Brash. I've seen your work before, and so far I haven't been disapointed. :goodjob:

Shivering Isles is awsome (I actually think the quests are surperior to Oblivion), but it isn't very good for an archer like me.

~Bralor~

The bad news is, I am a longtime addict of Asheron's Call, which I played like daily for three solid years or so. Left in 2002 and discovered Morrowind, then Pseron :wub: :wub: :wub: and for nearly five years, I was able to resist the siren's call of those purple portals. Alas, I recently stumbled through them again, after discovering http://trial.ac.turbine.com/ then finding my old accounts were salvageable despite half a decade's absence. Frankly I am not sure when I will be returning to Cyrodiil. It may not be till I get Dereth out of my system again, which doesn't look to be happening soon.



The good news is, that day will never ever ever come as the only thing I am more addicted to than RPGs, is my beloved Poopsie Darling :wub: :wub: :wub: You are stuck with me for life.

I understand addiction all to well. (hides in shame for once being a WoW addict) D:

Well,here is to hoping you return to Cyrodiil one day.
