This mod replaces the vanilla Ancient Shrouded Armor with a new, completely original asset with custom models and textures and slightly improved enchantments so you have a more compelling reason to wear it. It is currently very much a WIP but is functional enough for play with most characters.
I didn't like that the Ancient Shrouded Armor looked exactly like the other DB armors so I set about making this, modeling it after the Nightengale armor's awesome cloak-and-hood motif.
I also thought the armor could use a slight upgrade in the assassining category so I spent a weekend figuring out how to make its custom enchantment: The 'Shroud of Sithis.' The 'Shroud of Sithis' effect is activated only if you are wearing all four pieces of the armor. With it, every time you enter sneak-mode, you are given the equivalent of one extra rank in stealth for 10 seconds. An accompanying visual effect lets you know it is active.
Because it works on your detection sphere, it will have a postitive effect even if your sneak skill is at 100. It is most effective when you are standing in a shadow, even outside. When you sneak while in combat, preference is given to the Shadow Warrior perk, if you have it.
Again, this is a WORK IN PROGRESS. Its should work fine as-is but a few things are not yet supported. They are listed below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THINGS THAT WORK NOW:
-The armor itself functions fine.
-Support for both male and female characters.
-The “Shroud of Sithis” effect.
THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK NOW:
-Size-scaling for large characters. If you play a huge character, you will be slimmer when wearing this armor. Support for all you fatties is coming in the future.
-The world models are unchanged and do NOT represent the look of the armor when worn. If you can provide any help with getting the world models to work, I would most appreciate it.
-'Trickle-down' economics.
-Khajit and Argonians can wear it but it will look weird. I will fix this only after absolutely everything else is fixed, because the beast races are stupid anyway.
-The feet clip through the cloak when running. Not really noticeable after a while and I really don't want to shorten the cloak. I'll figure something out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod will conflict with any mod that changes specifically the Ancient Shrouded Armor. It does not change any of the other Shrouded armors, or anything else, except adding a perk to the player at-start.
Thanks for looking at my mod. My website is ktacreations.com.
