About this mod

This mod retextures the bouche shield with the 3 boars to be either uniformly black or be black with a white crows head (depending on version)
The normal map (surface structure) is changed to the bouche shield that has the Lords of Leipa coat of arms or whatever that is called.

I found the Bouche shield depicting three boars extremely ugly and wanted a black Bouche shield. That's why I chose it as the basis. Unfortunately, the three-boars logo is not just painted on but also etched into the surface of the shield through the normal map. My attempts to pack a normal map failed so far, resulting in an entirely smooth surface, with no normal map appearing to be loaded in the game.

After unsuccessfully trying to pack one with both Paint.NET and the NVIDIA Texture Tool Converter, I gave up on it and just copied the default normal map from the Lords of Leipa Bouche shield. I found that one to be the most acceptable of the available options for Bouche shields.
The logos were generated in a heated discussion with ChatGPT. Feel free to use them for your purposes. I also added all the other pictures ChatGPT gave me to the download section—use them as you like.

I also uploaded my non-working normal maps to the download section. If someone with more knowledge in that area can tell me why they don't work, that would be great. I tried to make the top boar less visible; however, since they aren't working in-game, I decided not to continue (crudely) redacting the other two boars.

(I know they must be renamed to match the original file, which I ensured during testing).


Feel free to use the mod however you like.

Overview:
  • Three variants for the "three boars" Bouche shield in either solid black, black with a crow's head, or black with a flame.
  • Images to use for whatever purpose you want.
  • Kindly take a look at my normal map files and tell me why they are not working or don't.



How to install:
  • Download either version from the main files.
  • Copy the unpacked mod folder (BlackBouche, BlackBoucheWhiteCrow, or BlackBoucheWhiteFlame) to your KC:D mods folder: ...\KingdomComeDeliverance\Mods

    inside your KC:D mods folder.
