PSYCH!
As you can see, this is the current look, right now I'm retexturing the front part by copying that diamond pattern in photoshop (as you can see on the lower right hand side of the picture). I didn't take a picture of the back cause I didn't want to flood this post with pics, but trust me it looks good, this is just a quick preview. Anyways, I just need to work on textures on the front side of the chest piece, and the sides of the chest piece are just a copy of the front so that will be automatic. Ummm....see how those plates over the legs on the front at the bottom below the belt line, are like one plane textured in to give the impression of 2 plates overlapping...I'm gonna redo that to make it actually two, it always looks much better when you do it like that I've found out. But yea, its textures, quick model change, and then do the legs which wil be easy,that's pretty much it, everything else is done...After that I'll select each group and assign a joint to them(joint as in the skeleton for animations, not THAT kind of joint).
And then the easiest part comes after that, which is doing the text files, copying the ready made armor for other units and such...I decided I will make a sword/shield unit from the iron hills, and that unit is going to replace guardians of erebor(in version 2 and 3, where in one they wield 2h-ax, and the other 2h-greatsword). Simply we can have the armor upgrade look of axemen of erebor(ver1.) applied to the armor upgrade of dwarven axemen in both versions 2 and 3, and to not be redundant, we take away the guardians of erebor(called axemen in vers.1) from ver.2 and 3, and replace the unit with Iron Foot Infantry...but if you can think of a cooler name, now's the time.
Moreover....after I'm finally....finally....finally...for once. actually done with this damn mod lol, I will do as I said and download Enhanced MOS and try to make a version of this mod for that submod. And lastly, if there's one thing I would like to make better in the future, is some of the textures, cause I feel there's room for improvement but it would need to be done by someone better than me, so if anyone thinks they can make this look even closer to the movie variant than I could ever do, please step forward, and work with me here.
