Name: Lich King's Helm v1_0
Version: 1.0
Date: 08 May 2008
04 July 2008
Category: Weapons and Armor
Author(s): jojjo (jojo_d@abv.bg)

===========
Adds enchanted and unenchanted one and two-handed versions of the sword and enchanted and unenchanted versions of the helm. Actually these are two independant mods but I think the place of the Helm is with the sword.

FROSTMOURNE UPDATE 1_1 ADDED.
You need to download New Frostmourne Sword by Jojjo v1_1 ADDON. Which means you must have New Frostmourne by Jojjo v1_0 installed.

- Adds new Frostmourne replicas (enchanted and unenchanted 1h and 2h sword) at Roxanne's �A Fighting Chance� in the Imperial City Market District. The replicas have blue flames effect along the edge. All the credits must go to Nicoroshi for his brilliant retexture of Bethesdas stock torch flames and his generous permission to me to use it. Nicos Scimitars mod from which I took the flames:
Tesnexus.com

- Also added (to all versions of the sword) frost particles effect at the skulls eye holes and nostrils making them look more authentic. All the credits for that must go to Mr.V and his Bluefire Claymore from which the particles effect is taken:

- Swap Swords script included too. Thanks to Adonnay who created the script and }{ellKnight who attached the script to this mod twice already.
Thanks to all of you, guys!

There is a mod called Death Knight Spells by Seti which adds a few spells to the sword. If you like spells and blue fire try this: Tesnexus.com

If there is some problem, please, inform me.

PAULDRONS UPLOADED. It is a beta version of the pauldrons since their final look will be completed when the entire set is ready. Their replica is on sale at Roxanne's "A Fighting Chance" in Imperial City Market District. You need to download Lich Kings Helm v1_1. It will replace the Lich Kings Helm v1_0.esp and add the meshes (biped and world models using the tale slot in CS) and texture to Oblivion\Data folder. I've try the mod before and after obtaining the helm and there was no problem. But if something is wrong please tell me. You need installed Lich Kings Helm v1_0 since the new 1_1 doesn't contains the helm meshes and texture.
Share your opinion at the forum please. I'm sorry for the slow motion work of mine but I have much "real" work. The pauldrons are the second mesh I made - altered little "front" skulls, added second plate on the right pauldron, new sharp spikes on the left and new texture since the decoration has almost nothing to do with the one from Warcraft3 cinematic. The pauldrons are wide of purpose to be wearable with other armors. I've tryed'em with Dark Illusion Armor, Draconic Armor, Altair's Gear. Armors like steel would be a problem since they already have pauldrons and the cuts are unavoidable. Until Arthas' cuirass is not ready.

Frostmourne is made from scratch thanks only the new pictures you can find in the Net. The shape is new but I kept the stained sinister look of the blade from the original movie.

The Lich King's Helm is made the same way - only watching the outro movie. And it is intentionally made silver to match the sword. I received wallpapers,trailers and massages that the helm is pitch-black etc. That's why obsidian textures are already uploaded so you can replace the files
textures\armor\jojjo\LichKingHelm.dds
textures\armor\jojjo\LichKingHelm_n.dds
with the pair from the archive "Lich Kings Helm Obsidian Textures" that you like. There are two similar textures - one with little green and purple spice and the other - pure black obsidian. Make a backup of your current textures just in case.

First of all if you like these items, please, RATE IT!
It is the reward of a modder and a goad to do more. This hellish meshes took me about a month of free time each.

NEW OPTION ADDED - the latest file "Frostmourne swap swords by HellKnight" allows swapping the one-handed and two-handed sword by a spell. Now you can carry only one sword and use both of them. Only replace the .esp file with the one from the archive. If Frostmourne is already in your inventory drop it and pick it up again. The script starts to work and the spell is added.
All the credits goes to }{ellKnight who adapted the script to this mod and to Adonnay who created the script. Thanks a lot and respect!

IMPORTANT: If the swords and helm doesn't appear ingame install the latest patch Oblivion 1.2.416 or Oblivion Shivering Isles1.2.416 released on Tes Nexus by LHammonds. Already helped few people.

Those who want the enchanted versions of the sword (with the frost effect) and the helm must seek in Kemen Ruins (see the map). There will be fight with leveled creatures but the items are yours for free. Or you can buy replicas of both the sword and the helm in "A Fighting Chance" in the Imperial City Market District and enchant them yourself.

Install

1. Place the folders and the .esp files from the archives into your Oblivion\Data folder. Click "Yes to all" when asked.
2. In Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the New Frostmourne Sword by Jojjo v1_0.esp and Lich King's Helm v1_0.esp.

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the New Frostmourne Sword v1_0.esp and Lich King's Helm v1_0.esp file.

Incompatibility
===============
None I know.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
The Helm is not appropriate for Khajiits and Argonians. Some ugly cuts will appear. The humans, elves and orcs shouldn't have a problem. For some reason the Conformulator doesn't work on my system.
