I'm running Jaysus Swords and TCOS with a wrye bashed patch.

However there's almost no Jaysus swords whatsoever to be found. 10 real hours gameplay and I've found about 2-3 Jaysus swords. BUT I'm finding TCOS weapons left and right. TCOS weapons are coming out of my ears.

What gives? Why does TCOS superseeds Jaysus and surpresses Jaysus weapons to be distributed amongst NPCs?

Lol I think I know why. I added a lot of chances of item drop so that my weapons would spawn at the same rate as vanilla stuff (for the most part), which is usually pretty often. However Jaysus' stuff is probably 1 item chance.
The reason I set it this way though is because as I add more items from Realswords, the newer weapons will have a lower spawn rate than Nord, so that Nord weapons take precedence since its the land of the Nords.

So there's one of two ways to change it around. I can make a compatibility patch that lowers the frequency of TCOS weapons so it can be merged nicely with other people's mods. Or Jaysus and other modders can add their item frequency to match vanilla. It's kind of hard either way though since I dont really know how Jaysus' stuff is distributed (plus how can I know what other mods weeks, months, years down the line from now will do?),

But if I have some time, or someone is interested in doing it, the item frequency can be lowered.

If you could, can you take a look how Jaysus does it? He distributes the swords via JSwordsDistributionBalancePlugin.esp . I'd really like to see Jaysus and TCOS having almost the same chance to spawn the weapons.

Both mods are equally awesome! The more weapons the merrier I say.

That steel armor is vanilla steel armor o_o, hirespack.

I was hoping to release Imperial tomorrow actually, but it might take me longer than planned to add the final touches.

This makes it feel more unique every time when running into enemies of a different race (well, 2 so far)! It's nice seeing the new weapons randomly along with different quality as well. Will Imperial equipment get the same treatment?

Yessir!

There are brown leather, red leather, blue leather, bronze decorated, and steel decorated scabbard fittings for each weapon. Some also come "gemmed" for the wealthy or high rank in the army. Weapons also have decorated bronze, decorated steel, or plain fullers (the center of the blade) variations for the blades...along with old versions for each weapon. So there are a lot...

This version is probably about...3 - 4 times as large as Nord, plus it comes with a small update to the visual appearance of Nord, so it should be a pretty nice deal.

As for distribution, I will designate some weapons as army issued weapons and some as civilian based equipment. Spears and most of the Gladius for example will be for army members, while short swords, regular swords, longswords, axes, etc will be found pretty much anywhere (with a small chance of being in the army too for diversity).

The legion was a bit more diverse this time around compared to Oblivion, so it would be fine (in my opinion) for variance here and there among the ranks for the equipment used.

Added Pictures to my post clarify the differences between some of the variations.

Edit: Added even more, sorry lol.

cool stuff...just one request...the Legion Scutum (shield) should not look roman ....it should look more imperial...more dark maybe even wooden and iron like the standart imperial shield and it should have a dragon insignia :-)

cheers

Now THAT'S how you TEASE, BABY'S.

I'm not really sure where I could put the Dragon, and the texture is done already so it would take some work, but I'll see if I can do something. It's already made of wood so you'll see it on the inside.

Here's an alternate version of the shield for Comparison: http://i.imgur.com/sHZnB.jpg

[onra]

hmmm...what I mean is, it should come with the same textures as the vanilla legion shields.... just as a scutum..this way it would feel more being part of the vanilla legion.....btw it should also be a lot larger ...a scutum provides cover for the complete soldier...(very heavy shield)...just my two cents :-)

All aboard the hype train.

Hey, shingouki-san, have you thought about adding rare, maybe enchanted weapons found only in certain areas?

[shadowfx78]

I died =/.

I took a huge break! But now I'm finishing up Imperial.

[Albino Dunmer]

Everything looks great. When I start playing Skyrim again I will give this a whirl. However as someone said, that Scutum is TOO Roman and too bright imo. Everything else looks fantastic though. The shield itself looks good(a tad small) but just doesn't fit in imo. Especially the markings. Really all you would have to do is strip the markings and it would be fine imo. Either way it won't stop me from using your mod when I do start playing again.

[shingouki]

Thanks for your kind words. Trying hard to keep working on this. it's difficult...

[shingouki]

I have been on and off with working on this... Sorry! I had to do a lot of research, to try to get full ideas about what I wanted to do. I was finishing up the final touches, and decided to put a strap on the weapons so they weren't
just floating at the side. I also wanted it to match up with the color of the leather on the weapon too, so I tried using Skyrim's vanilla straps for some of the weapons with my own custom texture....

I didn't really like how it was looking though..., so I decided to just make my own using Waalx's Chest Belt from Oblivion and some reUV mapping. It was a lot of hard work but I finally made something I'm pleased with.

Here's how the strap looks. Thoughts?

New Armor For Skeletons

This might actually be the first instance I've seen of armored skeletons for Skyrim. Looks great! Now maybe it can make a bit more sense to up their health.

[Noodles1]

I don't get why this mod is getting so little attention; it's awesome and really well executed! Can't wait to see what you'll manage to do with the Dunmeri weapons.

I'm still keeping an eye on it. I love seeing more variety added to the game, and new weapons are definitely a big part of that.

[shingouki]

Okay! I have this up and working now

Now here's a quick poll, would you guys like this armor on dogs to be for the Stormcloaks or the Imperials?

[Psymon]

Since when do dogs wear armor? I mean just because some ladies like to put sweaters on them now doesn't mean that there has ever been a history of dog armor.

Bondage gear at that.
