Name: Sentinel's Legendary Weapons & Armors Version: 4.2 NEW Date: 2011/2/18 Category: Weapons and Armor Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.416 Author: S.Rangelov aka. SenTineL Source: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36954 Description Become a legend yourself ? Why not ! The last Sentinel is willing to grant you some legendary artifacts. Five full sets of armor and a lot of weapons. Prove yourself worthy and one day you may become Sentinel yourself. Location ======== Follow the quest! It will start as soon as you load/start a game. (well if you start a new game it will appear after you exit the sewers) If you can't find the temple look into the "Bonus Content" folder for spoiler. Details ======= What does this modification do ? It adds five full sets of armor , 22 new weapons and a temple building. The sets : "Captain Sylvan's Raiment" - Light armor (male) "Akaviri Emperor's Raiment" - Heavy armor (male) The armor is without the mask shown on some screenshots. "Alinor's Blade Dancer Raiment - Light armor (female HGEC) (new in 2.0 and above) "Hircine's Trapper Raiment" - Light armor (male and female) (new in 3.0 and above) "Belneiros's Battlemage Raiment" - Light armor (unisex - after all it is a robe with a plate chest piece) (new in 4.0 and above) The armors are suitable for characters above lv 20. If you want to use them before that you can play with the difficulty slider into the Option menu. Keep in mind also that I play with FCOM so for Vanilla Oblivion the armor will be suitable for lv 25-30. Female characters can wear all the males armors also, but I haven't include a special female versions. Captain Sylvan's Set Items : Armor : Sylvan's Helmet Sylvan's Battle Cuirass Sylvan's Cuirass Sylvan's Mithril Mail Sylvan's Greaves Sylvan's Gauntlets Sylvan's Boots Clothes : Sylvan's Cape Sylvan's Mother Ring Sylvan's Father Ring Sylvan's Circle Of Preservation Weapons : Sylvan's Katana Sylvan's Greatsword Sylvan's Great Axe Akaviri Emperor's Raiment set items : Armor : Emperor's Armor (Includes cuirass,greaves and boots in one .nif ) Emperor's Gauntlets Emperor's Helmet Emperor's Helmet (used on back - see screenshots) Emperor's Shield Weapons : Akaviri Emperor's Katana Akaviri Emperor's Naginata Alinor's Blade Dancer Raiment set items : Armor : Alinor's Cuirass (Includes cuirass & gauntlets in one .nif) Alinor's Greaves Alinor's Boots Alinor's Ease (Parry sword) Clothes : Alinor's Circle Of Dreams Weapons : Alinor's Grace (one handed sword) Hircine's Trapper set items : Armor : Trapper's Cuirass Trapper's Greaves Trapper's Boots Trapper's Gauntlets Trapper's Masked Hood Trapper's Staff Of Nature Clothes : Trapper's Gear - a belt with trapper's tools Weapons : Trapper's Bow Arrows Of The Hunt (They are x2.5 faster the vanilla arrows) Poisonous Arrows Of The Hunt (They are x2.5 faster the vanilla arrows) Talon Of The Woods (sword) "Belneiros's Battlemage Raiment" Armor or Clothing (depending on choice) : Belneiros's Armored Robe Belneiros's Gauntlets Belneiros's Boots Clothes : Belneiros's Magic Belneiros's Vortex Medallion Weapons : Belneiros's Rage (one handed sword) Other Akaviri Weapons Imperial Akaviri Dai-Katana - Legendary Akaviri Heavy Naginata Akaviri Naginata Perfect Akaviri Katana/Dai-Katana Akaviri Ninjato Akaviri Wakizashi Akaviri Fine Tanto Akaviri War Bow Akaviri Arrows (They are x2 faster the vanilla arrows) Items from a future set : Pure Steel Shield Pure Steel Dai-Katana (Can be used with Sylvan or Alinor's Raiments as well) Bonus Content : Prince Nuada's Weapons from Hellboy Install ======= Manual Install: 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. Take note of the folder name! READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2. Examine the folder structure. You will see six folders: 'Armour Enchanted' 'Armour Unenchanted' 'Clothing Enchanted' 'Clothing Unenchanted' 'Meshes' 'Textures' 3. The clothing versions are for those who want the Mage's gear to be non-armour -- all other content is the same. YOU MUST ONLY INSTALL ONE! Eg. Armour Enchanted will give all enchanted armour and the mage's gear will be enchanted light armour. Clothing Enchanted will be the same gear except the mage's gear will be clothing instead of armour. 3a. From ONE of the folders (choose which one you want), copy the .esp to your \Oblivion\Data\ directory. WARNING! If you copy more than one .esp, the last one you copy is the one that you will get. COPY ONLY ONE ESP! 4. Copy the 'Meshes' and 'Textures' folders to your \Oblivion\Data\ directory. Say yes to if you are asked to overwrite anything -- nothing from the original game will be changed. 5. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside the .esp file. OMOD install: 1. Copy the downloaded OMOD to your \Oblivion\obmm\mods\ folder. 2. Open OBMM and double click on the mod in the right hand window 3. Script will give you options to instell different versions. 4. Mod should turn blue BAIN install: If you have elected to download the BAIN archive you already know how to install it. Just choose one of the plugins -- read the standard archive information above to understand what each option is. Uninstall ========= Standard archive : 1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, un-check the .esp file. 2. Delete folders : Data\meshes\SenTineL Data\textures\SenTineL Data\textures\menus\icons\SenTineL OMOD archive : Open OBMM and double click on the blue Sentinel mod. Mod should turn green BAIN archive : Again, Wrye Bash users will know how to uninstall. Incompatibility =============== It seems that the temple is standing on the road to Elsweyr - The Deserts of Anequina. Just make sure to load my mod BEFORE it and then the only problem you'll have is cosmetic because of the temple standing into the middle of the road. Update: Hickory has kindly released a patch for the above problem. If you prefer, download the patch from Optional Files (recommended). Other then that everything inside uses its own meshes and textures. No conflicts with other mods. Compatibility =============== Fully compatible with OOO , FCOM and Unique Landscapes. (My mod don't mess with level lists) Known Issues or Bugs ==================== None so far !!! If you find some ,please inform me either by PM my or email me. Keep in mind though that my native language is not English so some spelling mistakes can occur.
