About this mod

Actually do something with those fancy glow in the dark pelts from the forgotten vale: craft glow in the dark leather, and then craft glow in the dark armour.

Combines two oldrim mods : Vale Skin Armor and Vale Hide Armor.

Permissions and credits
Combination of Vale Skin Armor and Vale hide Armor  both form oldrim, into Vale Armor. I can hardly sum it up better than nemacocy did:

Why?
I was rather sad to discover, after making my way to a cool new place called the Forgotten Vale, finding funny animals that would glow in the dark, and getting
their pelts, that I could then do nothing but make regular leather.
Seemed a bit disappointing. Thus began a learning journey with the CK and Google. Many thanks to those who post tutorials!

What does this mod do?
Once you have procured the Vale Deer and/or Sabre Cat hides, you can craft two new items at the tanning station: Vale Leather and Vale Powder. Both glow.

With your glowing leather (and a few regular leather strips) in hand, you can craft a full set of Vale Armour, either Hide or Fur. You can no longer craft normal leather from these hides.
With your glowing powder (and a set of ordinary heavy armour) in hand, you can paint details and fancy designs that glow in the dark (also at the tanning station).

Details
The hide armour has the same stats as regular hide armour. The crafting  requirements are the same as regular hide except for the substitution of
the new type of leather.

The fur armour has slightly modified stats, with a bit of a progression. The heaviest two have the most armour, the light a little bit less, and the superlight a little bit less again. Their crafting recipes are adjusted accordingly (more material means more armour).

Just vanilla armour meshes right now. For male, female, and all kinds of beasts.

Benefits of wearing Vale Painted armour
  • Impress your friends and colleagues with your artistic skills.
  • Scare off enemies by pretending to be a woad warrior.
  • Play nice with the creatures of the Vale*, and actually be able to defend yourself when the relationship goes sour.
  • Be your own night-light.
  • Make vampires jealous. Only their eyes glow.
  • Mix and match different designs for lots of choice! Combine with Vale Skin Armor for extra style points.

*provided you have the necessary pacification spells.


Details
I tried a few different ways to get the 'painting' process to work.
Unfortunately, neither the alchemy station or the armour upgrading table
will work, so the tanning station will have to do. Just pretend you're
holding a paint brush instead of a dagger.

Currently available armours are ebony and daedric. For male, female, and all kinds of beasts.


Other things you might want to know
This mod adds all new pieces of armour, based off vanilla armour in the CK and vanilla meshes and textures from the original game, as well as
Dawnguard. It also adds the new type of leather and the powder. The powder is also an alchemy ingredient, but not a very special one.

There are no known conflicts, and really there shouldn't be, since nothing in the game is modified; only additions are made
  • Adds fur armour, in four different styles (heavy, medium, light, and superlight).
  • Fur textures are completely interchangeable. They are labelled A
    through D (heavy through light). To swap them, change the letters to match the one you want.
