[WIPz] Shadow Of The Ayleidoon (working title)

[The Vyper]

I can see #2 being done two ways. The hard way is to make a separate armors with separate chameleon enchantments ranging from 5-75%. Then add a certain one to the player based on their sneak skill. It's hard because you might have to make a lot of armors and enchantments and there will be a bit of tedious scripting.

The easy way is to use OBSE setNthEffectItemMagnitude and modify the chameleon enchantment on only one armor depending on the player's sneak skill. It might be a little difficult to script, but in the end it is less tedious than the other way.

I'm testing a script applied directly to some armor in one of my test .ESPs. It does work, but has a few glitches that should be fixable with additional "If" statements. I should get another chance to test this in a day or two. I've been insanely busy the last couple of weeks.

Wow! I haven't updated this all year! But don't worry, it's not dead. I've been testing and tweaking a few things. I finished the stealth component mentioned in this post. I released a separate mod based on it: Vyper's Stealth Armors. I'm thinking about releasing a separate mod for the Taulmaril-type bow as well. I've also begun updating the dungeons using the Clean Ayleid Ruins Independent Version mod by Ceano and AxlRocks. Let me know what you think.

In the meantime, more screens :

Blue Lighting

Red Lighting

Dual Lighting

And some more screens:

Purple Lighting

Let me know what you think.

A Dangerous Room

It's possible to get through there without getting hit (if you know what you're doing).

Some Ayleid Portals:

Here's a screenie from another dangerous room:

The spell turrets in the corners are set off by entering the center of the room. Easy to avoid? Not really. There are 4 enemies in the room and it won't be easy to fight them and avoid the center of the room. But, if you're fast enough and can position yourself right, you can get those turrets to take out the enemies instead of you.

Here's some screens from a level in progress:

Something you see from a distance.

What happens when you get a little closer.

Yep, three spell turrets firing at once. The one in the middle doesn't fire as often as the other two, but you still won't enjoy getting hit.

Then there's some hallways that look like this:

That's not going to be easy to get through.

Here is a composite map of one of the other levels:

And that doesn't show every area. There are also quite a few traps on that level: 21 swinging blade traps (with three blades each), 10 spike pits, 4 ceiling smashers, 1 channel spike, 3 spell turrets and a few Varla Stone traps I came up with. Basically, the Varla Stone traps look like normal Varla Stones, but they cast spells on you when you try to pick them up. There is a way to tell a safe Varla Stone from a trap, but you'll have to learn that through experience.

Okay, time for some more screens. Got some new Skeleton Warriors thanks to NateNeurotic:

Odd. For some reason, I can no longer post images directly into the thread, so here are some links instead (ooh, that rhymes).

Blue-ish Skelie

Red-ish Skelie

Purple-ish Skelie

Thanks to Meo300 @ TESNexus, I've updated the look of the Skeletons:

And I've made Ayleid versions of each, made possible by a new Skeleton.nif privided by NateNeurotic.

Fire Warrior and Fire Scout:

Frost Warrior and Frost Scout:

Storm Warrior and Storm Scout (I still need to tweak the "eyes" a bit):

Revenant Warrior and Revenant Scout:

So, what do you think?

[StarX]

I think they look great!

I'm a little late into this thread but Vyper, you done good here! A very enjoyable OP. 10/10!

Well, to say I'm having a bad day today would be a severe understatement. My trusty desktop got attacked by another virus that McAfee just let right through. Every file on it was either corrupted or erased. The result? Shadow Of The Ayleidoon is gone. My backups? Gone. Everything I've worked on for about a year? Gone. Right now, I just don't have the heart to start from scratch. So, for the time being, SOTA is dead. To all those who were looking forward to the release, I'm sorry.
