I'm using the CM mod to create a small band of knights, and it is impossible to find enough armor for them... well, good armor anyway. Hasn't anyone ever created a simple plug-in that adds an armor shop somewhere, where you can buy all the stock armor in the game (including bloodmoon and tribunal)?

I'd like to buy some Indoriel, Daedric, Her Hand's, and Nordic Mail. There's not enough in the game for me to find. Please tell me someone has thought of this? I'm not looking for anything fancy or armor mods, just a way to obtain more of the armor that's already in the game. I don't mind paying through the nose, that's fine.... I'd just be relieved to actually be able to buy it! This is getting really frustrating, been looking everywhere... and it appears that no one has ever thought of making a simple armor shop without making a huge mod product out of it, where you can just buy stock armor (including tribunal and bloodmoon armor).

Has no one ever made this plug-in??

You could always, you know, kill for it. Taunt a guard into attacking you and you'll get away scott-free.

Or, make your own high-end armor shop using the Editor. It's not too hard, really.

Actually, this sounds like an excellent project for your first mod. You should break out the Construction Set and get busy!

I know it's not exactly, what you asked for, but I would recommand you download, Carinthus' Armatorium, which is a shop selling beautiful of all kinds, and a mod I never plays without (and my only shop).

But as already said, if the shop you want is not there, it could easily be made. The simplest would be to simply add the armor you want to a current smith, like Meldor in Balmora. You could do that yourself or maybe, someone can do it for you, since it's a simple task.

But maybe there already is a mod, which does what you want. Which someone will recommand here.

Construction set?

I used to mod Battlezone I and II, Far Cry, and HL. Mostly maps, textures, vehicle physics, weapon effects, vehicle code, modeling and original concept design. Quit cause everyone in every modding community was an immature child, who all thought their half baked ideas were the best ideas EVER. They were so arrogant, especially the more well known modders, using their social status to ban people, push others around, get what they want, get the moderators to do what they wanted, etc. Got tired of it, told them all off, and left. I actually had aspirations of being in the gaming business..... even finished a ton of art courses in college, had a lot of well thought out ideas I typed out into huge documents that wowed a lot of people but the business become so cheapened and souless, I gave up on the dream. Companies are more interested in how many games they can pump out than quality and originality. I'm mostly an idea man, the kind of person who organizes everything, thinks everything out, polishes it, spends endless hours researching information. Man I had some insane ideas for games. Anywho.... sorry... rambling.... lol

As long as I don't have to use some annoying hex editor or a cheap editor, I might want to do it. Links?

You might want to check out, http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=3378. It contains several suits of "unique" stock armors, Fidel's sword pack, and a few more weapons added by myself. Ignore the location in the mod description; V2.0 moves the shop south of Balmora.

Korana's Closet has a vendor that sells every armor in the game as I recaa

really? where? there is only that girl in the hlaalu house. or do we talk about different pis?

@drahadis: which version you own? the construction set comes with the game usually. i think we all here have installed it^^

and our modders - at least the ones here still with us - all are a kind species of people the most respected modders are some of the modest and finest people here.

The closet is in Ebonheart so there isn't any Hlaalu connection...yore thinking about different mod

i have a mod called koranas closet beta. it's the one from tesnexus. there is nothing in ebonheart just a girl in balmora in the hlaalu council hall selling hg-better bodies robes. where have you got your mod from? may you link it? that would be cool.

Same Place as yours. Read the readme and it tells you where to go in Ebonheart.

but there is nothing. checked it in the cs, i swear!

edit: downloaded it again from nexus. there seem to be different versions, the new one seems to be complete. or nearly. my old version just had the "a seller" girl in balmora... weird. thanks for your hint

Make sure you have the latest version. There's an entire building with a house in the basemant

From the desc at nexus:

-All the non enchanted armor from Morrowind and Tribunal are also sold....at their original prices.

found it. you are absolutely right the male vendor in the closet sells it.

The CS comes packed with the game.

Not what I would describe as 'low level' either. Something like what you described is by far one easiest things to accomplish.

Yeah, cs itself is very easy to use, only stuff like scripting and dialogue needs practice and researching. I'd do it for you, but I won't have access to fully patched CS before this weekend at least.

You should do it, and name the shop "Helm Depot"

I might have done it if I hadn't found out about Korana's Closet, BUT!!!! I'm having a major problem with the merchant who sells the armor, "David". He doesn't get more armor in when you buy what he has, and he only has ONE of each armor piece. ......wtf Korana?

He also doesn't have the Nordic Mesh armor I really wanted.

So, first I need to edit David's stock so it refreshes, and second, add Nordic Armor to his stock.

I have the file open, and I'm looking at David's files.... but I don't see how to do this. I usually figure out these editors pretty quickly, but I'm having a hell of a time finding the values I want to change. So yeah, I really need some help, please?

Edit:
I found the containers that have the armor... but I don't see any anything close to the values I'm looking for.

when you found the containers give the items you want to restock a - (minus) before the value

and you take the armor from the armorlist and draw it to the opened container menu to add it.

Which value? I'm not sure which value you're talking about, or where to find this value

Also, sorry but I don't understand that second part.

I've never worked with this editor and I have no idea what you're talking about, sorry but you'll have to explain a lot more than that and go into much greater detail.

Okay I've been going through every file I see but I don't see actual values for different armors. All I see is references to other files, file names, title values... etc. Nothing I need. I can't find what it is I'm supposed to edit. Am I missing something?

Please help me someone!

I'm assuming that you figured out how to open the plugin that you wish to edit in the CS, when you select it as the active plugin, I would check to see if tribunal and bloodmoon .esms automatically become ticked too, if not I would check them as well to avoid the plugin becoming dirty.. The items that your merchant sells will either be on his body, in a container or hand placed loosely around the shop.

Open up the cell that the NPC is in and find him, then either double click him to open his reference or find his ID in the NPC tab and double click it: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/1921/npctb.jpg

or find the container that holds his goods, (which will be in the same cell as him) there is no way of knowing which container that will be without checking them all, although the ID is usually a giveaway, but once you find it, double click it to open it or find it's ID in the container tab. http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/7785/container.jpg

Only click 'save' on IDs that you wish to change, if you open something and don't want to change it, close it without saving it.

When you have done, you can save your plugin.

the armors are in the chests in the second floor below him. they are named ko_xxx in the containertab.

I don't know this specific trader, you mention. But for a trader you must find and select the cell, where he is located. When you choose this cell, you will see the cell and a list of items placed in the cell. In this list the items have a type, where you should look for the items of type containers (which is crates, chests etc) and ownership set to the trader. All items, which has ownership set to him are sellable and make up his stock (he might also be carrying sellable items, but we disregard that from now).
You should click on a container on the list to see a window with the properties of it. This should include a list of the items placed in the container and this is the list Sister mentioned. For each item in the list there should be a number indicating how amny of this items are contained in the container.
If you open the armor tab and look for nordic mail or other items you want to add to the trader, you drag it to to the list of items for the container, you just have opened. You can then adjust the number of each items to -2 or similar nagative number.
In the properties for the container, there is also a weight attached saying much weight the container can carry. I don't remember if that might need to be raised to hold the items, or the weight only matter if you put items into the container while playing.

The description above is from memory, but I think it's right.

the crates are not in the same cell in this specific case. they are in the second floor and since they're from korana the containers are named ko_xxx which makes them easier to find in the container list.
