About this mod

A collection of patches for Kaidan's tent from Immersive Features, including armor display, music volume, and other tweaks. I hope to expand upon this collection as I go.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
If you've played Kaidan - Immersive Features then you know that his large tent has evolved into a fully functional player home, it's quite an amazing work of coding. I've written some patches for it (you need the Kaidanmod.com AiO version 3.0.0 or later for most of them) and hope to keep adding them here.

Requirements

  • ALL of the patches of course require Kaidan 2, without that mod Kaidan doesn't exist. The patches for the weapon and armor rack require the All-in-One installer version 3.0.0 or later from Kaidanmod.com.  I honestly don't know what version the music or birdsongs were added in, but since it's just a file it technically doesn't require anything.
  • Obviously the patches for Axarien's Kaidan's Armory requires that mod to be installed as well.
  • For the tent's bird sounds remover, Base Object Swapper is required, it makes it conflict-free.


Patches


  • Kaidan 2 and the Armor Display
    I created ground object models (which also shows in your inventory) for Kaidan's original cuirass in the three available styles of Tiger, Wolf and Dragon. You can choose to either use the patch for just the ground objects (requires Kaidan 2) or the tent display (requires the version 3.0.0+ AiO Immersive Features) which includes the objects.

  • Axarien's Kaidan's Armory and the Armor Display
    I created ground object models (which also shows in your inventory) for the classic shine cuirasses in the three available styles of Tiger, Wolf and Dragon, as well as the dark and mysterious version. I also made objects for the boots and gloves. You can choose to either use the patch for just the ground objects (requires only the Kaidan's Armory mod) or the tent display (requires the Immersive Features from version 3.0.0+ AiO). The Samurai version already had ground objects, so that patch is just a plugin for the armor rack.

  • Axarien's Kaidan Armory ENB Patch
    In my work I also discovered that my ENB, which uses complex materials and parallax, for some reason did not like the environment textures used in the gloves and boots for the classic shine version. The textures would shift and slide around on the worn items as well as the displayed objects. So, I created a new environment texture file which seems to have resolved it, as an optional patch for people with this issue as well.

  • Quieter Tent Patches
    Two levels of volume for the tent music, quiet (-10 decibels) and very quiet (-20 decibels) are available. You can also add the patches to remove the ambient bird chirping and/or frog peeping noises in the tent cell, which requires Base Object Swapper.  Both patches do not have plugins, overwrite when necessary.

  • Weapon Rack and Diverse Tanning Racks patch
    The wood on the tanning rack placed there by Diverse Tanning Racks is a much different color than the weapon rack which sits quite close to it. I edited the texture of the weapon rack to match. The patch has no plugin, just a replacement mesh for the rack and the small texture file for it.

  • Squonk's Kaidan's War Bow weapon display patch
    Small patch to redirect Kaidan's weapon rack to display this beautiful bow correctly. No assets used, just a plugin.

  • Rumpled Rugs patch
    Provides a modified SWAP file for rumpled rugs that excludes the tent, for people who aren't comfortable editing ini files.

  • Footprints patch

    ESL-flagged patch that adds Kaidan's tent location to the exclusion list in footprints. I got tired of seeing the dirty footprints all over, it just looked really messy after I'd been in there for a while.

  • Kaidan NPC Overhaul by Llwelyn Evil Mastermind replacer armor display patch

    ESL-flagged patch. Repaths the armor display in Kaidan's tent to show the correct models for Llewellyn's Kaidan NPC Overhaul (original version) which replaces them with Evil Mastermind armor. Made by request! Be aware there are two versions of this mod, and this patch was made for the older version with this specific armor in mind. You *must* have Save Unbaker installed for the positions of the items to be correct on an existing save. ESL flagged.. Requires the original overhaul mod by Llewelyn. Made by request. Originally, I mistakenly added it to my overhaul patch collection, but it really belongs here.

  • Kaidan 2 Revamped Armor replacer - armor display patch

    ESL-flagged patch. Repaths the armor display in Kaidan's tent to show the correct models for BarbWireBlonde's Kaidan 2 Revamped Armor Replacer.  No position changes made so fine to install on existing games. I only made a patch for Kaidan's armor, if there is demand, I can make one for the standalone versions. ESL flagged plugin, no assets.

Notes

  • You can reinstall the Kaidan's Armory patch as needed if you decide to change styles or have the version that changes it from tempering. The same goes for the Kaidan 2 patch.
  • The Kaidan 2 patch only includes new cuirass models since boots and gloves were not needed, the original mod covered them.
  • While I removed most of the draping fabrics for the armor models, I decided to leave the front part of the collar/cloak, for aesthetic reasons. The metal underneath was not meant to be seen, and you could tell. I did edit the fabric meshes in back to make it lay better.
  • The Rumpled Rugs patch will work immediately on a new game, or a game where the tent cell has reset... if you've been in the tent recently, you need to stay out of it for about 30 game days to have it regenerate the rugs back to vanilla, or they will still be rumpled. 
  • I would be willing to expand on any of these patches, for example to make the armor rack match the weapon rack, add a "no music" option, etc. Polite inquiries for additions and improvements are always welcome.
