About This File

This is the enhanced version of RyanReos-SpartanHoplite Outfit with HDT-SMP Physics SAM light 1.0.0 by Lilyrim, along with SavrenX's BILF refit version and modified texture.

Since it should be considered an improvement of the original mod, I label it as 1.1.0. Although I think I've added more things than I expected, almost spent a month working on it xD

Here shows my deepest gratitude for Lilyrim and SavrenX's permission to use their assets and improve the mod based on their work. If you like this outfit, please go to their original mod page to give them kudos!

Important note: The link names "Us4WiCCK" is the mirror link goes to MEGA drive. It has to be named like that because VP doesn't have a feature to attach a caption for an external download link. If you encounter connection problems with the local download link, please try that one!

Requirements:
Exactly same to the original mod.

Optional Prerequisites:

How to install:

  1. Install the Requirements above (I believe all the SAM fellows here already have them)
  2. Drag the archive into your MO2 window and let the FOMOD installer guide you. (Includes a number of options like textures, BILF refit, craftable, and other add-on. Just choose what you like most!)
  3. Launch the game, and you can open AddItemMenu to check if the items are installed correctly.
  4. Enjoy!

Update from previous version:

It is safe to update in mid-save from either Lilyrim's original version or SavrenX's modified version. Just unequip all your Spartan items and store them into a container, then make a new save before updating.
After update to this version, you can go back to the container to retrieve the items, although you might find out some items disappeared. In that case, you have to use AddItemMenu to get them back.

Compatibility:

Anything but other mod items which occupy the same slots. You can use UI expansion mods such as SkyUI AIO Survival or Body Slots for SkyUI/Nordic UI to check the slot for each item more easily in-game.

For Simple Wearable Lantern users, I made an optional patch included in the mod pack that move skirts from Slot 49 to Slot 48, so they wouldn't conflict. (Of course, you wouldn't need it if you don't wear skirts at all;))

Description:

If you are interested in what's the difference in this "Enhanced version", here lists the detail:

  1. Fixed several errors of the original files, include the original helmet's misplaced plume, missing first-person hands, sword's scabbard not working and CTD when dropping. 
  2. Ground model for every single item... Hair and beard too.
  3. Add Argonians and Khajiit model for both kinds (Regular and Opened) of helmet.
  4. SavrenX's BILF Bodysilde refit and modified textures included, and you can pick the option you like when installing (If you choose BILF then every piece of armour is refitted for BILF body)
  5. Bows! Inspired from recurve bows in Ancient Greece and Asia Minor, I decided to make my own version based on the model from DecimusMaximus' Real Bows, since I believe it looks much more suitable with the outfit than vanilla bows. (The bows are standalone and don't require Real Bow mod, but I still highly recommend it. Here is SSE version)
  6. Optional One-handed Spear add-on based on True Spear Combat, which is necessary for the add-on to work. I recommend using the DAR version since DAR offers more flexibility, like you can easily set up animation packs and switch them based on different condition like stances. Finally, you can fight like a real Spartan warrior! (You can also get my small patch for the corrected weapon type and icon of spears in SkyUI AIO Survival)
  7. A Craftable add-On that adds a new book depicts the legendary warriors and their equipment. There are several copies could be found at different places in Skyrim, and you will learn the recipe once you read it. Afterwards, you can make the items at the Forge (weapons and metal armour) and Tanning Rack (leather armour and cape), if you have the specific perk in Smithing active which is hinted in the book. 
  8. Meshes and Textures are .BSA archived for cleaner file structure and less file size. (Can be decompressed with BSA Browser)

Some quick Q&As:

Q: Is it able to be used in AE?
A: I haven't tested, but I don't see the mod itself has any incompatibility with AE so far, provided that you have updated the prerequisites into AE versions like the DLL update for SOS.

Q: I'm using HIMBO, can you make a refit?
A: No, at least in my current plan. First, I don't use HIMBO myself, since I still prefer SAM much more xD. 
And I've been tired after already spent too much time on this. Things involve HDT-SMP require many more extra works than regular armours, and I can see it'd be a headache to me.
If you are interested in making a refit, or other modification, please contact Lilyrim by yourself for a permission.

Q: My FPS drops significantly, particularly while equipping cape/skirt.
A: HDT-SMP (and FSMP) requires sufficient CPU resource and the performance is varied at different setup. All I can suggest are trying different settings when installing SMP (like AVX/AVX2/AVX512 or CUDA on/off) and adjusting configs.xml with a text editor. I guess to set the number of <maximumActiveskeletons> or <percentageOfFrameTime> lower might be helpful. Anyway, you have to try figuring out a setting which is the best for your setup; and I have to state that it's far beyond my ability and responsibility to help with that.
You can also go to the forum section in HDT-SMP/FSMP's nexus mod page to see if there are useful hints.

Credits:

  • Lilyrim for the original mod.
  • SavrenX for BILF refit and modified texture.
  • Of course, RyanReos for the original 3D model.
  • DecimusMaximus for the bow model.
  • Special thanks to every cool and lovely bro&sis on VectorPlexus :)

What's New in Version 1.1.1   See changelog

Released

Adjusted the colour of hand wrap, leg warp and armbands in the SavrenX's modified version of texture.
An update package is attached in the download pages (both local and MEGA mirror) for users who already installed this mod with this texture, so you don't have to download the whole installation pack again.
Just replace the SpartanHoplite - Textures.bsa file in your mod data folder with the new file in the update package. (Using MO2's "Merge" option also works.)

Awesome man, thank you for making this!  I had issues with the original ... umm poking through the front of the skirt lol, and I didn't want to use the bilf build.  And, great job on the additional features too!  Maybe you'll do some improvements on a few others on here? ;)

 

Oh, I just found one question I wanted to ask about - the wrap part of the gauntlets for the RED are black - white is gray.  Is the black color intended rather than a leather or something?  I couldn't remember how they were on the original lol, so wanted to make sure mine loaded right.

Response from the author:

Hi! The original colour of hand wraps is dark grey. I think SavrenX's modified texture adjusts them to darker overall to make the metal's colour look more like bronze, then the hand warps also become darker and look closer to black. Therefore, it is not a bug!

I will fix the colour and update it in these days. Thank you for the feedback! :)

Wearing this outfit in AE causes huge frame drops.
Is this an AE issue? this is a great outfit.

Response from the author:

Hey, thank you for the feedback!

In my experience, such the performance / frame drop is mostly cause by FSMP and DAR animations. (Mine is FSMP running smoothly, but DAR animation is relatively slow when loading)

You might try taking off cape and skirt to see if the performance problem still exists.
