EDIT: You can find a much more fleshed out implementation of this at https://modding-openmw.gitlab.io/s3ctors-s3cret-st4sh/transmog/
The What
Transmogrification (or glamour/outfits/whatever in other games) is the process of taking one item and making it look like another.
This mod is an OpenMW lua implementation of transmogrification. You can select one weapon, piece of armor or piece of clothing and make it look like another while still retaining its original stats, enchantment and scripts.
NOTE: I would *strongly* advise not to use this for any quest-related items like Sunder or Wraithguard. Haven't actually bothered to test it, but I assume it would not go well for you.
The How
There are a couple of limitations regarding the item selection:
The Why?
I don't know, I was bored at 3AM and this looked like it could be simple and fun to do.

Only the aforementioned limitations.

The How
- Drop the source (the stats will be taken from this item) and style (the appearance will be taken from this item) items from your inventory to the world
- Press the activation key defined in the mod settings menu (default: G) to activate the selection process
- Pick up the source item when prompted
- Pick up the style item when prompted
- The source item in your inventory will be replaced with the transmogrified item
There are a couple of limitations regarding the item selection:
- The source and style item must be a weapon, a piece of armor or a piece of clothing
- The source and style item must be of the same type, e.g. weapon
- The source and style item must be of the same sub-type, e.g. one-handed axe
- Due to either my incompetence or it simply not currently being possible with OpenMW lua, there is an issue when transmogrifying a source item with no enchantment or script attached with a style item that has an enchantment or script. The transmogrified item would end up with the enchantment and/or script from the style item. In order to prevent this from happening, the mod will show you an error message in such cases and cancel the item selection process. Note that the other way around is fine, so you can make the Dragonbone Cuirass look like an Iron Cuirass and it will retain the 100% resist fire enchantment, you just can't make an unenchanted Cuirass look like the Dragonbone Cuirass
The Why?
I don't know, I was bored at 3AM and this looked like it could be simple and fun to do.

content=transmog.omwscripts
