Ragna_Rok's Final Mod

[Ragna_Rok]

Disclaimer: due to changing accounts (thx again for helping me out, heyyou  ) and thus not being able to update my old threats first counting-post (topic: "Rise of the Orcs") and me increasing included content once more i copy the first post and continue my raging bloodthirsty senile scribbles here. sorry about any inconveniences

xxxxxxxxx

"RagnaRoksFinalMod" ... aka "Rise of the Orcs"

disclaimer: so whats this about? - rise of the orcs is an old dream of a mod for me. for now its about creating as much diversity of in-game-gear as possible, i need mudcrab-loads of stuff to spice the aesthetics up. no op-stuff, no god-tier-iron-slapper, more like improving the range of lets say 1 steel battle-axe to like 1 per big town (so that town guards dont use same swords, improve bandit diversirty, different orcish weapons n armor for the 4 strongholds, stuff like that). --- update: actually i went into a modding spree and it went outta control, im crafting mudcrabloads of stuff, at this rate ill be able to give every single npc its own weapon

hail malacath!

senile scribbles: before i go for ingame-testing and reballancing once more, i gotta do some leftover work from couple of weeks back. i confess, i wanted to play the game a bit and levelled from like 125 to 180, scoring mudcrabloads of ingots, i always stash up to a dozen of each armor and weapon piece and never use console to raise my ressources

---> current level is 266

oh, i also found the 73 nordhero retexes of my draugr-weapons, seems like i made the 146 nifs already... i just wonder how to move them into the game... going for immersion theyd have to be crafted at the skyforge... oh well, ill finish the ebony-designs first.

fiddle around with the ghostblade, thats it for now

 

senile scribbles part 827: the executioner ba hilt is a nice shaped stick... ghostblades...

ill yoink this post here for the screens of weapons, will move them here bit by bit

[Ragna_Rok]

and ill yoink this post for screens of armors / other stuff. so, 3 posts secured, lets get modding

[Ragna_Rok]

after some thinking, ill yoink post number 4 for video links... i think its smartest to make a yt-channel or sth and show my stuff there, presents them better than only screenshots imho

[Ragna_Rok]

this post wasnt needed anymore, due to total revision

senile scribbles, episode 391:

i gotta note down an idea here. actually a pretty old idea from yours truly, but i didnt have the skills required back in the days.... neither did i have the required meshes by the dozens... soooo... we got a basic ancient nordic sword... lets forget about the greatswords, battleaxes, and waraxes of that tier for a moment...

that ancient nordic sword exists in two versions in the game texture-wise. first, the basic one you can find on draugrs. second, a version called "ghostblade"... now, if i make the ghostblade craftable, lets say, recipe, couple of ectoplasms and some other ghostly stuff that would fit.... can i turn the draugr weapons i modded that are based on the ancient nordic sword, into ancient nordic ghostblades???? ... if that would work, i could also turn a couple of my ancient nordic greatswords that are based on heavily modified ancient nordic swords into ghost-greatswords... with the shader-skills i developed over the years i think it should work... its worth a try after i popped out the first nordic weapons and set up files required to modify the fugg outta dragon tier...

in short: got sick... progress slowed down a bit. well, here they are... the first 12 nordic battleaxes:

... of course there will also be couple of double-bladed ones... comming soon. chop-chop-chop! HAAAAIL MALACATH!

 

[Ragna_Rok]

nordic battleaxe 13 - 16, the double bladed ones... chop-chop!

and by that were done with nordic battleaxes! now, a word from yours truly about the vanilla nordic waraxe: IT SUGGS! what a piece of mudcrab that one is! theres literally nothing i can imagine to be made from it, i tried it, its base design is... ... ... it just suggs. so, for my soon-to-come nordic waraxes, ill simply readjust the battleaxes HAIL MALACATH! ... update: small versions made from thinner blades dont look good nuff... 8 nordic waraxes in preparation

IT WORKS! I CAN POST AGAIN! HAIL MALACATH! HAIL TO THOSE THAT FIXED THE SITE!

[Ragna_Rok]

was busy irl. a lot. long break. anyways. last week i fired up good ol skyrim once more. levelled a bit, scored tons of ingots n stuff, im ready to test all weapons of this mod. i crafted the majority of them in-game already, noticed some minor flaws (axe-handle reflections or some wrong texture link n so) on a few weapons, i will fix them one by one and recheck every single item of the mod.

once this is done, ill fill the gaps. step by step. for now its about revision. hail malacath

[Ragna_Rok]

the huge majority of the weapons is finalized. there are a handful of iron and steel weapons to be remade. basically about 90 % of the stuff was finished. i still got a giant-load of blends, just gotta split the specific meshes and re-export and -import. blood works on all of them. draugr weapons still to be finalized.

anyways, took a break from revision, wanted to do sth more creative... nordic slashers soon to come!      hail malacath  

[Ragna_Rok]

this escalated quickly ... BEHOLD! nordic greatswords 01 - 40!
