Mediocre Black Armor - version 3

Description
ABOUT THIS MOD
Existing armor mediocrely painted black. The stats are the same as vanilla with just a hint of Stealth multiplier where applicable.

NOTE
I am currently on hiatus from modding. Not sure when I'll get back to it. Version 4 is indefinitely on hold.

UPDATED TO VERSION 3 - SEPT 8
Changes:
- Revert stealth stats for metal and chainmail based armors back to vanilla values
- Remove armor/blueprints from vanilla vendors
- Added custom traders (Rogue Traders) selling the armor/blueprints in most town/village
- Applied Minor Mesh Fixes to all Mediocre Black Armor variants
- Merge timor1234's Patch for Fixing Clipping as part of main mod

Plan for Version 4:
- Rework all armor/clothing textures to make it a little brighter
- Release reworked textures in stages
- Possible alternative version for those who prefer current black armor texture (if there is demand for it)


WHAT'S INCLUDED
70+ body armor, hats, helmet, mask, pants and boots in mediocre black variant. Covers almost all purchasable armor plus a few clothing as well.

IS IT CRAFTABLE?
Yes. The armors follow same crafting recipe and machine as vanilla ones. Blueprints sold by Rogue Traders.

HOW TO GET THE ARMOR/BLUEPRINT
As of Version 3, the armor/blueprints are no longer puchaseable at vanilla shops. They're now sold by Rogue Traders all over the map.

WHAT ARE THE ROGUE TRADERS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
Rogue Traders are custom traders selling Mediocre Black Armor variant armor/blueprints. There's at least one of them in most town/village. Major towns can have up to two Rogue Traders in it.

They usually hang out at the bar. If the bar is full or there is no bar in the town/village, you'll see them wandering around the place, getting in and out of buildings looking shady AF. They can be pretty hard to spot sometimes because they're wearing all black.

A word of advice: If you're tempted to attack the Rogue Traders, please don't. They're pretty deadly and they're not quite...human.



CREDIT
Version 3 includes timor1234's Patch for Fixing Clipping as part of the mod. Thank you to timor1234 for making the patch and for his permission to include it in this update.
Check out timor1234's mods here.

As of Version 3, the patch is part of Mediocre Black Armor. However the patch only covers armor/clothing included in Mediocre Black Armor. You will still need his main Fixing Clipping Issues mod if you want to fix overlap/clipping meshes for vanilla armor/clothing.

I never thought twice about this mod, decided to try it on my new playthrough---and now I will never play without this mod. I never once gave a shit about aesthetics, apparently now I do, and the subtle stealth bump is a nice perk. Excellent mod.

@oi__io I am making an integration patch for MBA that removes the word "mediocre" from all items, re-categorizes them as ninja gear, gives them all a slight bonus to stealth, adds thief stigma to them (no idea if that does anything, but the new FCS features make it trivial to do and it can't hurt), and distributes them all to appropriate places. I would much rather create a standalone mod to do this rather than make a patch dependent on MBA, because it avoids the creation of deleted records in the user's mod collection which is not good modding practice.

As such, I would like your permission to use only the material specs and color data from MBA, since that is the only part of your mod required to create the mod that I want to make. I would of course give full credit to you, both in the mod description and within the mod file itself, so that anyone who adapts my mod is made aware of where the assets come from. Thank you for considering my request.

the skeleton mask and Crab armor helmet still have some clipping issues with the skin poking through. weirdly enough on the Crab helmet i saw skin clipping through the end tips of the hat on the front side.

You made a mistake in fashion. Any merchant can be stunned with 0 kill skill, and the merchant will be indifferent to unsuccessful attempts.
Besides the fact that you get his cool sword which is + 200 against everyone, you get free loot and blueprints + upgrade the killing skill to at least 70. And the guards don't bother you for stunning the merchants.
