http://www.tesmods.net/modules.php?op=modl...ins_Armory_V7.5


More than two years in the making, I believe this to be a masterpiece; and a clean o­ne at that.
Assassins Armory, contrary to the name, is suitable for all types of characters. A large number of meticulously constructed high quality (Bethesda standard or better) weapons have been added to the game and with most of them a defensive partner. What makes these defensive weapons different from a shield is that you block with a combination of your Block skill and the appropriate weapon skill. All items are distributed in the same fashion as normal Morrowind weapons and are very well balanced, tested, and then tested again. Assassins Armory contains more than 100 new models and has no known incompatibilities (tested with 100's of mods).



<U>
New in V7.5!

</U>
All contents have been drastically rebalanced. Defensive weapons, for example, now bear a much lower defensive rating. Additional esp's have been added, o­ne of which activates the bolt rifles(default off; it adds them to the game) and the other removes the scripts in order to allow better performance(lower end proscessors will now receive no performance hit). May of the textures have been revamped and now look a damned sight better than any other weapons I've seen. Models from the WeaponMasters WeaponPack have been added, replacing some and adding new weapons. About 10 new weapons using these models have been added.

This is a list of the weapons added and distributed throughout the game. Items with an asterix (*) next to them have a defensive partner also in the game (referred to as a reinforced weapon. For example a Defensive Gold Katana is called a Reinforced Gold Katana). Some weapons already existing in the game now have partners and are listed here. Items marked with a (+) have simply been given a new model and items marked with a (-) are of defensive form o­nly:



Ebony War Axe*
Ebony Dai-Katana
Ancient Gold Flamberge
Ancient Glass Kris
Adamantium Battle-Axe
Glass Double Katana (Based o­n a Model by of KTX)

SAH-WEET. Thanks Kastha!

Ah, there it is. *sigh of contentment*

Thanks for all the hard work on this through the years mate.

::Falls over, passes out, chokes to death on his own drool::

BAH! Do not put the data files in a sub folder like ehhh "assassins_armory" Now I have to extract this folder and repackage, or hand sort it.

Very cool

Um, yes, take a gaming break, most definitely. You deserve it!

Scheduling a download in my calendar now...

will do . maybe now i should concentrate on becoming a rockstar or some other ridiculous obsession. that is, im going to actually playt hte game a bit and do a little less modding till tesIV comes out.*ten years later*

Great stuff! One small thing-- didn't see the bolt rifle .esp in the .zip . Okay by me, as I didn' plan of making use of that feature, but might make someone scratch their head. The arrow and noscript esps were there as well as the esm, though.

Glad to see the update-- AA has been one of my longtime favorite mods, the only issue being that all my chars are dual-wielders now. Always make me pick block as a skill . . .

And well you should. A fighter is not truly skilled in his or her weapon of choice until one learns to use it defensively as well as in attack.

Wow...another update to an already awsome mod. I've really enjoyed this mod since I first found version 5

so we dont need to use the old assasins armory right?

Whahahgah...*thunk*

Amazing work.

Kastha you're an absolute star and this long awaited update to the AA is nothing short of astounding. 5 stars to you sir.

And profuse apologies from me since I never produced the new textures you wanted. I've suffered a few set backs recently and I've only been back online for about a week or so.

But regardless, thanks for this masterpiece anyway.

Man I love these weapons! I have a little request. Is there someone out there that can add weapon rotate to the babes? I would love to display them on my weapon racks. Great work!!!

One of my favourite mods gets an update? Sweet!

This is excellent news, and I'm gonna go download it now. What d'ye mean "You're at work, you can't". Why do you think I invested in this smart little 1GB USB chip?

Excellent.
Thank you so much Kastha.

one word: WOOT!



so glad for the update (and almost as glad it's not on fileplanet )

oooh, comments from cortex, vagabond, cenobite and all my old buddies. i've uploaded the bolt rifles esp to tesmods.net, but dont worry. the actual stats and things are stored in the main esm, the esp only adds them to the levelled lists. those of you with bolt rifles already in their game will experience no difficulties. thanks all for the encouragment. ill probably end up doing this mod for esIV as well...

One of the best got the update !

Shiny, I've always been a big fan of this mod. One question though, are the weapons still so highly valuable? I don't have any specific examples, but I seem to remember that most of the weapons in this mod were a bit over the top as far as price goes...

Stupid question, but I never touched the earlier versions. Besides luckily getting such items from loot, where do you obtain these new items?

Thanks again for making all this wonderful work available to modders.

Another update from one of my favorite mods...well done

Sweet dude. AA for life!

Too bad its not on fileplanet, I like that place. So nice and easy and friendly.

Unless, of course, one uses a shield. Or a double-handed battle axe.

Some of them placed throughout the game. Mostly unique of course.

Once again a must download, and one of the few mods that integrates seamlessly with Morrowind. gg.

Does this mod require any of the exp. packs?

Dunno about this version but previous required only MW to run.

Just read the readme. You need both expansions to run this one.

Wow, kick Kastha. Just in time too, with my new computer coming in tomorrow or Friday, I'm going to have fun with this. Great job and keep up the excellent work.

Looks like the creature ID "AR_SPAWN" is missing from the .esm file, but the changed script BILL_MarksDaedraSummon still refers to it. I noticed in the previous version that AR_SPAWN was less dangerous than what the BethSoft version of the script called for, too.

Also, the file "Assassins Armory - Bolt Rifles.esp" mentioned in the Readme is missing from the TESMods distribution file. And, the Readme title still refers to "V7.1".

This doesn't mean I'm saying "yer baby is ugly", it's just something I thought you'd want to know. This is a great plugin.

bleh great!

This post has been edited by Rolach: Dec 1 2004, 03:50 PM

Am I the only one who dosent have a Bolt Rifle esp in the download?

Nobody has the Bolt Rifles esp, it appears....

Err, I uploaded a Bolt rifle addon esp that Kastha submitted like 6-8 hours ago... But I was at work and didn't post it...oppsies, here it is:

Bolt Rifles Add-on

Be careful! You could put an eye out with that thing...

I don't have microsoft word.... And that is what the read-me is on... Damn. Could someone send me the readme in notepad?

Did you try it? I don't have Word either and I opened it just fine.

Yeah, it started installing, and it said asked for my name, orginizatin, initials, and serial number. And I don't have a serial number.

No, I mean did you try opening it with Wordpad or Notepad?

Oh yeah, It worked. I'm such a politician. Thanks!

This mod roxors big butt.

Either Wordpad or Sun's Open Office should work for that.

Cool the bolt rifles are out alright.

hmm, well the readme ALSO says 7.5 further down the page, but i really cant be stuffed uploading another version just to fix 1 typo . The PRICES OF WEAPONS have been drastically rebalanced. reduced. whatever.

i've tried to fix the AR spawn thing. i have no idea why it keeps happening, or why it started happening(it started when i started using TESTOOL). good thing is it doesnt appear to have any effect on anything at all, so all is well.

Yay, more weapons for me to toy with in the editor

ka-bumpies!

Wrist-scythes are fun weapons.

Have yet to find myself a bolt rifle though.

Bang! bang!

the site doesn't seem to be working does anyone know if the link is broken?

um link not working

Um, it works for me? Try again and let me know.

Well, the new textures are alot better. I sometimes had trouble convincing myself to use them before. Now there's no question, except which one from this mod to use. I think I like the steel wrist-scythes best.

One question: Whenever I load up the game, it says that it can't find the enchantments for the arrows (Cruel, Dread and so forth.) It did this with the last Assassins Armory. Also, and this may not be a part of your mod at all, it also says something about something called bill_marksdaedraspawn or something similar not being found. Any thoughts? Other than those two little problems, everything rocks.

Sounds like you might have unchecked the Arrows add-on from an earlier version.

For the Bill script, I fixed it on my system by just removing the script because it had a bad creature reference (in the previous version, it used a custom dremora that isn't definded in the current version), so that the version of that script that comes with the game just took over. Plugin editing (especially one as large as this one) is not for the faint of heart, though.

This post has been edited by shiva7663: Dec 2 2004, 11:08 PM

So I need the area-effect arrows from an earlier version?

for me it said the bill_marksdaedrasummon thing, and something about enchanted swords or something like that

It would likely help the plugin author if you posted your warnings.txt file. That's where the exact text of error messages are stored.

Hmm. What I did was go into the CS, load up the mod, find everything that used the bill_marksdaedrasummon script, then take the script off.

Here are my warnings:

Unable to locate Enchanting 'cruel_spark_ma_en'.

now wtf is THAT happening. i've heard of the glitch with the nordic fur before, but i couldnt get the problem to happen myself so im stuck there.

WARNINGS ABOUT ARROWS ENCHANTING:

this only happens when you havnt got either the Assassins Armory arrows plugin OR the area effect arrows plugin installed. only just relised this. it never before occured to me that someone might not use the area effect arrows plugin.


as for teh AR spawn thing, thats my fault, although it really shouldnt do anything in game. ill release a fix, one that will fix things .

YAY i was looking for this thread and couldnt find it, but now its time for downloading YAY!!!

If you do that, then there won't be any trapped shrine goodies at all. That's going a bit overboard. Just removing the script from the plugin itself returns the function of the original script in morrowind.esm to what it was before the plugin was loaded.

I have the area effect plugin installed and i still get that error. And five or six others.
When will the fix be ready? Because i dont play with any mods that cuases errors. And im not planning on starting on it now.

Oh...I see. Thanks .

And I agree. When can we see this fix?

These weapons friggin rawk.

But they're terribly hard to find-in game.

The Assassin's Armory in the Morag Tong Guildhall only has a moderate selection.

Where are the bastard swords? I'm quite partial to that kind of weapon, me being...you know...a bastard and all...

Many thanks, Kastha. It's very nice to see an updated version of this mod. Perhaps this time it will go onto my list of permanent mods.

er, i think i know what the problem is. you have both the area effect arrows plugin activated AND the assassins armory arrows plugin activated. you have two of the same mod activated there. im guessing you use testool and so the duplicate references are deleted, and as such for some reason that causes bother references to be deleted. so reinstall bother of those plugins(assassins armory arrows is a separate plugin from assassins armory), and then only activate one or the other, not both.





it's been uploaded to tesmods.net. it's 20kb





hehe, well that would be cheating. seriously though, they're scattered everywhere, but you can get some bastard swords from the assassins armory or from meldor in balmora. bolt rifles... you have to find them. they arnt placed anywhere, but you can always add one useing the console if you're wanting to CHEAT. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
oh, and all the weapons are scattered around the place, but they wont appear much until you're a higher level.(all weapons appear about lvl 20)

Assassin's Armory 7.6 esp patch

well fuch me that was quick!

Well, spank my butt and call me Charlie!

Thanks.

dont tempt me...

ok I have the esm checked, the arrows esp checked and the bolt rifle checked....is that right? or do I uncheck the arrows one because I'm getting the enchantment errors.

that's right, but if you keep getting hte errors uncheak the arrows esp.

A lot of meshes and such could not load, like the ceeremonial wakazishi, and many NPC's from "morrowind comes alive" have the big weird forcefield default mesh thing... What the h3ll?

that means you didnt instlal it properly.

:sigh: gah... Fine, I will re-install.. no I won't, wait, is it worth it?

YES< YES IT Is!

Well thats what i would expect, since you made it!

yay turtle

It's one of the best weapons plugins ever produced. Certainly one of my favorite plugins overall.

woohooo! i got backed up. er, one plugin of mine i wouldnt use is indarys unleashed, actually dont use best of naked morrowind either. both are outdated and glitchy.

I got Asassins Armory working... It's great, man! Thanks for your hard work :bow:

amodeusb you better make oblivion items now..not sitting in jail

Alright the fix took care of the one error, but here is the rest:
All errors in global scripts:
AA_Arimpurplescript
AA_Fridpurplescript
aa_kidnap
AA_Ljotpurplescript

Any idea what it is??

Those scripts are from The White Wolf of Lokken Mountain plugin. You can PM Emma for technical support. She'll probably want the whole warnings.txt file.

Is a full 7.6/7.7 gon be released soon Kastha?
I would love to update but I wanna be sure i dont gotta dl this all over again in a couple days
Me bein on dail up and all u know
U know i love your mods
In a platonic way of course
I reserve my non platonic love for Freddo

Like the armory though have not found a rifle yet (did get the missing .esp), as i generally live in the ashlands and don't get out much these days(nights is a different thing), is their a shop that sells one or both of them?

ALSO...how are the visual spell replacer thing coming or was it already released without me knowing?

please, call me michael . and i will in good time, like when oblivion comes out.




im not planning to release any such updates. it's safe just to download this.




you gotta find the rifles in dwemer ruins. the standard rifle can be found from lvl 10 up, and the elitist rifle from lvl 16 up. happy hunting.

and er, about the spell replacer... yeah, um.... hey look, an oblivion poster *runs like hell*

But the error only occur when i install assasins armory. Damn.

Nevertheless, the script names are from the White Wolf plugin. You'll likely get a more specific answer from Emma.

Ahh yes i have got an answer from her. The errors is from some npc's that have moved a bit from when the mod was installed. She says that the problem should go away when the PC is in the same room as the npc. So ill guess i have to ignore the errors for a bit.

Excellent mod - loving all the weapons.

BUT! Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but there appears to be no icon for the bastard sword all I get is the crossed out smiley

dammit! i have to work on that one. i figure it out and release a patch soon enough(as soon as i finish bloodmoon)

Sorry dude. Might be worth getting someone else to chesk it out, just in case I, you know, crapped it up or something.

Oh, and I love Darker Morrowind - those textures make Vivec half way decent

same prob with sword for me as well

bump

just discovered this mod, gonna try it out, looks like a LOT of hard work went into it, thanks!
