Reworked Corsairs of Umbar

[Hellenikon]

First post updated

Man, your texture workis great (I really love the other one, with the Harad tribesmen), but what really caught my attention was the option of having black numenoreans at Umbar.... Why take it out?

Well i decided to leave them out for two reasons:

- Because it required to make non-visual game changes in the game files, and it may be not compatible with others mods. I would have to keep it updated to new versions.

- But mostly because it is not very lore accurate to let Harad recruit Black numenoreans in the TATW period. Also the models do not look like at all like the black numenoreans of Umbar, but more like knights of Dol guldur.

Anyway i still have the old version of the mod in my PC, if you wish it i can upload it for those who want it.

Hey, everybody!

I've managed to get in touch with the creator of this mod Hellenikon () (originally known as Bucefalo) about this mod. He told me that he doesn't have these files any more but that they were included in Point Black's RC/RR submod for Third Age 1.4.1.
So I asked k/t () who was very kind and gave these files from that submod to me.

Here is a link for these files: http://www.adrive.com/public/dstMkz/...20corsairs.rar

Installation:
put en_cmail_cmail_harad.texture and en_cmail_cmail_harad_normal.texture to [Your Third Age folder]/data/unit_models/_Units/EN_Lmail_Hmail/textures/ and replace;
put Final ME Heavy_harad_diff.texture to [Your Third Age folder]/data/unit_models/AttachmentSets/ and replace;
make back-ups of these files just in case you like vanilla looks more!

Here's how they look like in game:

You may notice that they do not look exactly like the ones on the OP. Here's what the author told me about that:

Comparing the two pictures, the only difference i see is the buckler and the bare-chested torso. If i remember correctly, i think the bucklers were from an old version that i eventually removed because i didn´t like how it looked: there was clipping, because the animations of the corsairs were intended for one handed, so they never used the buckler like a shield anyway, so it looked goofy. I also remember adding a dagger in the offhand but i removed it for the same reason that the small shield, it didn´t look good.

The barechested torso i can´t remember for sure, but i think i also removed him simply because he looked ugly with the shoulderpads on top, and wasn´t fitting very much with the other armours.

Considering that, i think the version you have is the latest update that i made. They were made to work with Point Blank RC/RR, so the animations he used in his mod are the ones who work best (IIRC, he had a new only one handed sword animation who was pretty fast, and looked great on the corsairs).
