About this mod
Compatibility patches for New Legion mod imperial armor overhaul. Fixes Solitude guards arms and legs armor. Adds compatibility to immersive armors and cloaks of Skyrim.
Immersive armors will require console commands, because of how it works there's no way plug and play fix armors.

New Legion makes the imperial army look like romans, it also brings back the old Oblivion imperial armors which might not be for everyone, but I liked it.
New legion had two main problems for me which my mod(s) fix :
1) solitude guards use imperial bracers and greaves by default which will look bad when replaced by the new legion ones, i replaced them by steel plate, iron would be too poor and runic is for stormcloaks
2) immersive armor replaces several imperial NPCs armors by it's own but destroys the army unity new legion brings, it also makes weird changes like giving Hadvar an officer armor when he's clearly just a soldier at the beginning of the game
WARNINGS :
- I haven't restarted civil war yet so have no idea what happens when many imperial soldiers and officers are around, I only fixed the one I could see in my current game or when restarting a new vanilla start
- unless you start a new game and even if you do you will probably have to use console commands to reset NPCs armor as many will still start with immersive armors
- once a solitude guard has already spawned in your current save, it will keep it's current equipement loadout with the wrong bracers and greaves, you will have to manually console reset them one by one
INSTALLATION :
- select and use only one .esp place it in your Skyrim/Data folder
- if you want to try my batch armor reset file place it in your Skyrim folder (with the exe etc...) then ingame, open console and type : bat resetarmor (this might not work and you will have to reset them by selecting them manually in the console
CONSOLE COMMANDS TO RESET ARMORS ON NPCS :
- open console
- click on NPC until you see it's name selected
- type resetinventory
- press return, character should partially disappear
- close console
DIS_Heavy_Legion_KGfix_vanilla :
- Solitude aka Haafingar soldiers now have steel plate arms and legs to look better and closer to vanilla look
- added civil war version of DIS imperial officer (compatibility fix for captain metilius)
*************************************************************
DIS_Heavy_Legion_KGfix_vanilla_cloaks :
- same as patchvanilla
- adds cloaks of skyrim to solitude guards only, cloaks mods is incompatible with DIS heavy legion armors they clip though armors, DIS has it's own capes on some soldiers, not all
*************************************************************
DIS_Heavy_Legion_KGfix_IA :
- same as patchvanilla
- tentative compatibility fix for immersive armor, IA is way too complex, it doesn't replace "base" armors it "casts" them onto npcs like a spell so it's very hard to force IA armor out
- npcs will probably spawn with IA "heroic imperial" (Hadvar,Rikke) or "imperial knight" (general Tullius) you can open the console menu and type : bat resetarmor to try and fix them or you will have to manually click on the npc from console and then type : resetinventory (my bat does the same but for some reason sometimes it doesn't work, or is lagged by all the scripts running in the game)
- tried to swap general Tullius back to the vanilla armor by forcing it manually everywhere
- compatibility fix for Hadvar,Legate Rikke and all other Legates (aka imperial officers)
*************************************************************
DIS_Heavy_Legion_KGfix_IA_cloaks :
- same as DIS_Heavy_Legion_KGfix_IA
- adds cloaks of skyrim to solitude guards only, cloaks mods is incompatible with DIS heavy legion armors they clip though armors, DIS has it's own capes on some soldiers, not all
*************************************************************
it took me 2 days and a half to do this :/
immersive armor is a nightmare on how it works, I gave up on fixing Ulfric having no gag in the intro with IA
this might get updated as I play but I haven't restarted the civil war yet and I'm far from doing it so it might take a year for an update :P
Have fun
