If any of you have gone through the game-archives and loaded this model with GrannyViewer,
or downloaded the very old/odd ciSacred Sophia's Armor mod, then you may have noticed
that this armor model comes attached with Sophia's body, and hair too. In fact the only
part not attached to the model is the wings, which come in a separate .GR2 file.
It was in my mind for quite some time to have this model broken up in pieces and make it
availabe as parts in the game, and I'm working on it since last month.
If all goes well I may have an alpha version consisting of 8 parts of armor + 1 slightly
modded hair style by the end of this week in the weekend.
As the project evolves I will probably be posting a few screenshots here.
THIS topic attempts to give a background story and has a few screenshots of one part.
Some feedback on the story would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
best regards
You must return to the beginning of the end...

Alpha.01 will include 9 .gr2 files which are: 8 parts of the armor and the changed seraphim hair style
( that is if all works out well since I have some minor problems I'm trying to solve )
and 6 new sections to be appended into surface.txt, which are referenced by the new armor
and of course instructions on how to install them
The surface.txt sections are referencing a different texture file, the colour will be shining iron / silver
but of course it's up to the players if they prefer to change them back to the original.
The original textures do not show the same way when applied on the new armor even tho it's almost same.
Some small discrepancies that render minor regions in black and the effects are weird.
It seems the game does handle the effects different for NPC's and different for PC's

 

cheers

In regards to the textures:
they will not be the same as the original Sophia's armor
since the Background Story is going in a different direction.
After I have finished and uploaded the alpha version
I will get down and continue that story some more.


cheers

It looks like that the alpha version will take a few more days to be completed

I'm sorry about that, but it just needs some more work

 

I promise it will be totaly worth the wait :wink:

 

 

cheers

True, you're probably right on this one

I will have to see how it behaves tho

 

I may include it in the alpha regardless to

and leave it for anyone interested to choose

 

There will be another small progress update soon

 

 

 

regards

 

 

 

No, I cannot load any faster!

I am still working on some small issues, like parts clipping through other parts,

but the armor is already in-game and textured and it's looking good.

 

 

Would you like me to post an in-game screenshot

or would you rather wait until the alpha is out?

 

 

 

Here is another progress update, working ( skinning ) on the legs parts:

The pieces are all chopped and ported, and in-game, equipable and textured

 

My to-do list is:

 

- edit / tweak almost all the items to make them behave more "normal"

(follow more normally the physical body movement)

Items still on this list: bracers, pelvis, legs, boots (that's half of 'em)

 

- edit / tweak them to prevent them to clip through each other

aswell as the body clipping through them

Items still on this list: bracers, pelvis, legs (boots are being checked)

 

- procure 8 un-used itemtype ID's (new, unused even by CM patch)

 

- write the script additions for the alpha version

 

- write the installation instruction

 

Currently I have severe connectivity problems but the work on the mod is non-stop

Will upload an in-game picture once I stabilize my connection

 

 

cheers

Greetings Ancarians

 

Again, its been a while since my last post

 

I have had some unexpected setbacks the last few days

and things that are constantly slowing me down.

 

The latest, I just got my 1st ever BSOD ( blue screen of death )

 

After the reboot my antivirus and firewall got bugged and wont start at all

 

After a few tests it seemed that something went seriously wrong

Currently checkdisk is at step 4 of 5 and about 44% progress

( after an hour of "fixing" countless references and errors, even in system files u_u )

It may take a few more hours to know how severe the damage realy is

 

Regardless, the mod files are secure in my mailbox

but the progress has stopped until I get my system back up and running

 

I kept high hopes of having this alpha released this weekend

but now I just hope my system will get back more or less intact

 

Will keep you posted with any news ASAP

 

 

cheers

tommy
