Thanks.

It's certainly better now... I think the biggest problem we have with this Oblivion iteration is the fact that MW apparently used the same cuirass mesh for both genders. If you could figure out a way to make the plates appear more solidly attached, I think this is what we'll go on with.

Right now it kind of looks like the plates could be ripped off with one solid hit of a mace, and trying to figure out where they're actually attached to the tunic is stretching my imagination a bit too far. I would wager that closing the neckline further up would give you a better position to attach the plates in a more believeable manner.

Excuse me for finding faults with the armor again, but I have a tendency of trying to apply logic to fantasy armors... frustrating, I know.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9/bchick222/other%20projects/trollfemaleWIP.jpg I would move the plates around but, I dunno, they just look weird if they are anywhere else.

It looks a lot better now.

One option to make the cuirass look better would be to make the plates a bit shorter in height and round their sides a bit, but not into full circles obviously.

I can try. The main problem are the briasts though. They get in the way of making the bone look like an actual piece of bone. I will see what I can do though.

This mod is so fun...I can't wait for the next version!

RL has been interrupting my attempts at modding thus far, so I haven't made much progress lately. However, I'm beginning to get the hold of the mod again, and I expect to have a real update coming soon™.

When Edoc'sil finishes the final armor meshes, some more progress should be made. After that, it shouldn't be too long before I can get a release version wrapped up. I have to admit that modding during the summer is tough though...

Better hurry, my execution date is next week...JUST KIDDING! TAKE YOUR TIME!

I was checking the item stats in the CS today, and I noticed that there were some stats that hadn't been rounded to the right number. Now, because my percentage calculations for the new armor etc. stats sometimes result in stat fractions, the engine rounds them to the closest non-fractional number, but since I accidentally used commas instead of periods in some cases, the rounding didn't happen.

In essence, I'll have to do a complete check-up of all the items... which, if you hadn't guessed yet, is extremely boring. Oh well, at least I got the error now and not later.

July 18th update. A lot of number crunching done, and hopefully I got them all right now. As for the update, here's a http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3793/iconpreview.jpg of the new icon sets, although not all are present yet. I hope to have some larger updates coming next week...

July 22nd update. http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/492/trollboneclub.jpg - I'm making good progress with these weapons, and as you can see here, I've also tried to make them look a bit more varied since bone is a tad plain on its own. More coming soon™.

July 24th update. Just posting an update for Edoc'sil - the remaining armor parts he's making are coming along well, and should be ready for me to texture soon enough. We've talked a bit about the possibility of having some custom meshes for the trollbone weapons, but I don't have anything certain on that as of yet. More on that and other things later...

Just thought I would post http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9/bchick222/other%20projects/femaletrollbonefinished.jpg considering I am going to be sending all the armor files to Sage this weekend. I actually completed this a little bit ago (before I got sick) but I still need to do some work on the world models before I can send it over. And, as he said, I am going to do some quick mock-ups of weapons (those are much easier and faster to do than armor haha) and if he likes them we will have custom trollbone weapons as well!

Great work on the female armor variant, it turned out very well.

Yeah it ended up following the look of the male armor quite well, I think. I can't wait to see the helm with your bone texture on it!

Looking good guys!

My game playing self lusts for the next version...

Armor is finished and has been sent to Sage!

Well, I got into workin mode so http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b9/bchick222/other%20projects/trollweaponsWIP.jpg are the weapon prototypes I promised you. I would do the full set (club, greatsword, longsword, shortsword, dagger, axe, greataxe, shield). I don't currently know how to do bows, but I know there are some tutorials floating around so I may give it a shot so if I do that then you would get a bow/arrow/quiver too.

Let me know what you (Sage) and you all (everyone else) think of these two prototypes!

(note: I made the greatsword have a metal blade because I can't see a troll having any sort of bone that would be able to be made into a blade that long. But, it is just a texture so it can be made to be bone if you want)

Great work, sent you a PM.

I was wondering whats the usage for these once they are finished? I was looking at some awesome armor you have here sage and I really want to use some of them for my Skaal people in my bloodmoon mod. Link to it in my sig.

Anways nice looking stuff here.

I'm not quite ready to discuss that before the release, but send me a PM post-release and we can talk about the possibilities.

Can do

I did some work in the CS last night and finished the missing stahlrim short sword as well, but that's about it for now. I'll try to collect everything I get done this week into a big(ish) update in time for the weekend.

My barbarian characters will have great armor that suits them to a tee.

Always liked the stuff from Bloodmoon better than Tribunal's selections when it came to Morrowind, and now with this mod (and a few others) I can continue on with certain characters.
