[Item mod] Horse Armour (very basic version)

[kraggrim]

Just a simple modified mesh that adds a horse with very basic armour (padded gambeson type). Not historically accurate afaik if that concerns you .

Put the gambeson texture file in your module's texture folder, then put the vc_horses.brf in your resource folder and overwrite the existing one.

The open your item_kinds1 file and find this item:

itm_tutorial_saddle_horse Saddle_Pony Saddle_Pony 2  Horse_01 0  Horse_01 120259346432  1 0 1700 119185342464 0.000000 50 0 10 0 0 70 36 40 86 0 12 0

Replace it with this:

itm_tutorial_saddle_horse Armoured_Horse_01 Saddle_Pony 2  Armoured_Horse_01 0  Armoured_Horse_01 120259346432  65537 0 20000 120259346432 0.000000 1 0 30 0 2 130 30 40 92 0 30 0

Should work with any post-2.0 version, and any mod that doesn't edit that item entry or the horses.brf. Save-compatible obviously. You can get the horse from the cheat menu (near the start) or it should show up in shops occasionally.

Let me know any problems or suggestions you have, will probably try to make an improved version at some point. Feel free to  use/edit/adapt it for whatever you want (VC related that is).

Oh and it was inspired by this BL pic:

I think this should be in the mods section.

Moderator will move it. We can't create threads there.

Updated the download link as it was out of date. I think it should still work with the current version, I don't beleive they updated anything that would conflict (not tested though).

Download link doesn't work. Perhaps its outdated again.

Yea I really need to set up a better system for all my little mod downloads. I'll try to find the horse armour file and put it up again.

It seems download link is dead again . I am very sorry I didn't download this mod while link was still alive.
Maybe you can upload the horse armour file to www.mediafire.com instead? It's a free service and it can store files for years.
By the way, pity there are only round shields in VC. Oval (or hexagonal, or rectangular) big celtic shields could be a nice addition to the game. Please forgive my impudence .
