With any luck, I'd like this to be the start of a new mod that I am helping to plan... and hopefully execute. Those of you who have played my tweaked version of the Roadstroker's Zelda Remake and LordFrostcraig's Addon on Oblivion ought to remember the story I created to merge the Zelda lore with the Elder Scrolls lore.
Now, I would like to continue that story into Skyrim.
But for now, enjoy.
And thanks to Moses for allowing me to post this. See the original mod here.
You, too, Maniczombie. Your instructions were a lot of help. Go here for instructions.
UPDATE: After hours of painstaking work on Nifskope, I removed the hilt from the blood effect mesh. So blood will no longer show up on the hilt. However, if you prefer looking at lots of blood on your sword, I made these new nif files optional files.
2nd UPDATE: As you can see from the pics, I managed to convert Moses' Hylian Shield mesh. However, he never made a texture for it, and I can't texture worth anything. If anyone would like to volunteer to help, please do.
Latest Update: Added the textured Hylian Shield. Texture by JKalenad. (That mod is here.) It uses the "Fancy Clean" texture. You can craft a steel Hylian Shield or an elven one. Both are temperable and look the same, but the elven shield is lighter and stronger.
AND... I added a little easter egg. I said that I have bigger plans for this mod, so now you can see a small part of it. Just hit the tilde key and type "player.additem xx007E8D 1"
