Vangrad, the Iron Wing Not Submitted

Mod Description

Replaces the standard Albairn with a more sinister looking Armored Dragon.


MAPS: FINISHED!


Does not yet replace the music (Planned).


Does not yet replace VFX (Planned and next on the list).


REMEMBER: If some or all of your mods are mysteriously failing to work, go into your Trove\Live folder, and then get rid of the Override folders wherever they are located (most likely Blueprints and UI folders).


It means you won't be able to use mods in the .zip format, as they use the overrides, BUT having those installed prevents .tmod files from working at all.


I'm positive that there is a proper solution being worked on. For now, if you had the same problem as me, this is the simplest way to fix it.

Versions Different versions of files for this mod.

Finished the maps! Everything seems to work great. VFX is next on the list!

No changes to the file, but I finally learned how to export it with the .tmod extension.

Basically, following the Eclipse update, I experienced a conflict where the override folder for blueprints (from .zip mods) prevented ALL installed .tmods from working. This fixes that issue if you too have been experiencing the same.

Thank you ExoDave for explaining that to me and giving me a reason to learn how to save the mod properly ;D

Made the wingflaps a bit more colourful and brighter. Added a dark blue tone for the skin under the armor - too dark I think. He's looking very Lich-like. What do you think?

Added Hook-claw ends to the wing-armor. Think they'll stay.

Wanted to make his wings a little less bland to look at, while I figure out what to do with them in terms of relief and detail.

I am considering giving his skin beneath the armor on the main body a similar, darker blue tone, to create some complimentary colour that works with the armor itself, and lighter up his underbelly a tad. Comment what you think! It may be taken on board for the next version.

Vangrad, the Iron Wing.

A dragon encased in a nigh-impenetrable set of armor, with a bone or two to pick with those dragons that achieved Legendary status.

Lore:

"Vangrad was initially a lesser Permafrost Dragon. Growing jealous of the Legendary Dragons for their power, and angry that they flaunted it so, he forged himself a unique set of armor with the aim of becoming tough enough to match them in a fight. Refusing to remove his new armor, he grew stronger as the years passed, constantly bearing its weight.

After picking his first fight, Vangrad found himself bested. Cast to the earth, he found himself in the company of a lone Shadowhunter; one who empathised with his plight and had his own grudge against those who would rule the sky lands. In return for a set of armor to call his own, the Shadowhunter pledged his aid and the two took to the skies, in search of increasingly powerful prey, and all with the goal of rising above Legends themselves."

Yep. The new Lore (scroll down) *is* a hint at a coming Shadowhunter costume to match Vangrad.

UPDATE: Maps now added! Shiny! Now it's time to learn Popcorn...
