DROPPED Mage Outfit Texture Overhaul by (Rafuel and Alexandriel)

[EssArrBee]

Don't think you need about patch. Only about 95% sure. Will need Kry to look it over, but it only messes with hoodless robes from looking at it in xEdit. It only uses a texture replacer for default hoods.

There are not any conflicts with Clothing and Clutter Fixes for STEP. Your guide is probably using the EotW Mage Robes Compatible Textures file from CCF. STEP doesn't use this.

Look at the original robe templates that the esp redirects away from. They are Modded by CCF. It's not a direct conflict, it's indirect as the templates determine stats.

[EssArrBee]

Looks like we'll need some keywords and stats then. It's going to be a little bit of a chore to do.

I just made a replacer esp for this mod that incorporates all of CCF changes to the corresponding templates. Also have incorporated the USKP fix in the armor-addon section that adds an amulet slot.

 

I have some questions as I am not quite familiar with permissions...by the way I do not have any plans to publish it on Nexus as a standalone patch/replacer mod but to provide it to either kryptopyr or Alexandriel to host it in their Nexus mod page.

 

Now the questions:

 

1. Do I have to contact both authors?

2. This replacer esp does not have CCF as master as I have copied into it all the relevant keyowords from CCF; which techically means that CCF is not needed as a master for this plugin to work. Since it is meant to be a CCF compatible version and since it uses CCF assets should I just add CCF as a master although it does not need it?

 

Thanks for your assistance in advance and please do let me know if there is any more to it that I am neglecting/forgetting. 

[TechAngel85]

I simply patched this on my own for my setup. You can offer it to the author of this mod as a patch of sorts...even though it's a replacer ESP.

[kryptopyr]

As far as I'm concerned, you can post it yourself or offer it to Alexandriel.  I encourage people to carry over my changes into their mods, and I'm all too happy to see people making patches for my mods.  I wouldn't make CCF a master if it doesn't need to be.  What assets are you using from CCF?  Do you just mean the record edits or are other assets altered?

 

With replacer esps, you should probably contact the author of the original file.  Uploading a replacement esp, even if it still requires users to download other assets from the original mod, is still uploading someone else's work, so I'd get permission first. 

 

Patch files are more of a gray area, and the general feeling seems to be that if the patch's purpose is simply to make two or more mods play nicely together, then it's okay to upload without permission from the mod authors.  However, if the patch is fundamentally changing the way one of the mods works or altering the intention of the mod author, then it's probably best to seek permission.

[Astakos]

Thanks kryptopyr for your reply! Very much understood.

I will contact Alexandriel to offer him the compatible esp.

 

By the expression "CCF assets" I meant that I have included in this replacer esp the appropriate keywords from CCF. Nothing more.

 

Thank you all!

10/10 would install again!

Should be added!

[sheershaw]

Agreed. These robes are absolutely beautiful. 

[Kelmych]

I play a mage character and I'd like to see this added to STEP; I definitely prefer these robes over the vanilla ones.

[Nebulous112]

Random STEP user checking in again...I also love the look of these robes, and would like to see them added to STEP, for what it's worth.

 

Looks like a new version was uploaded a couple days ago; it is now USLEEP and CCF compatible.

[EssArrBee]

I've been using these and DB ones for a long time. Great designs and look to the robes. Takes something that is bland and injects some magic into it.

[DoubleYou]

Same here. I love these.

[TechAngel85]

This is one in those mods that I never want to uninstall. They're great!

 

I think the only question here is Core or Extended?

[EssArrBee]

Core for sure. We should also accept that Cabal probably isn't going to finish the armors and accept Ultra HD Guards as well.
