Game version 1.22.7

Forgotten Armory: Greenwich style 2.1.1 targets 1.22.7. It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.

Where it goes

Is Forgotten Armory: Greenwich style required on the client, server, or both?

It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.

Client Required
Dedicated server Optional
Loader for this release Built-in Vintage Story mod system

This release supports both sides, but the source does not require it on the server.

What else does Forgotten Armory: Greenwich style 2.1.1 need?

2.1.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.

1 required mod needs a matching file

Install Forgotten Armory: Core, Attribute Rendering Library first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.

About this project

What does Forgotten Armory: Greenwich style add?

Like what i do? You can support me!

Before the calamity. Before the rot set in. Before the Blackguards and the Forlorn Hope marched.
There was an age of wealth and power — master craftsmen forged blades fit for kings, knights grew fat on coin and blood, women wove their own webs of influence, and lords ruled with iron hands.
Wars raged in the name of the king, calling the boldest and the strongest to seize glory — or die chasing it.
That meant every blacksmith, craftsman, and worker strove to give their best. The most skilled members of the guilds approached the status of scholars and devoted their entire lives to perfecting the crafts they were so deeply committed to.

In these times, armors of unquestionable quality appeared, forged with techniques that only the greatest of masters could replicate.
All of this, of course, is now lost to time.
What remains are a few forgotten scrolls, passed down through generations scarred by hardship and suffering, now left to rot on dust-choked shelves and in the deepest shadows of abandoned strongholds.
Only a handful of these schematics survived the devastating scourge of rot, scattered across the broken world — waiting to be unearthed, claimed, and brought back to glory!
The forge of excellence and perfection awaits you — step forward, and let your hands reignite the flame that shapes destiny.

Greenwich

Greenwich armor set wideshot

Introduction

This series of mods aims to introduce historically inspired armors into the game. This is the first release in a multi-part series. This one is dedicated to the Greenwich legacy.

Armors added by this mod are improved versions of the vanilla items, which serve as the base for crafting these modded armors. Greenwich armor is sligthly more durable than classic plate version, you walk with it slightly faster, but the rich decorations are obstructing shooting range.

For each armor, you will need a specific schematic, that can be obtained only by Deciphering the "Dusty Scroll" that is found throughout ruins, or sold by Treasure Trader. Due to the rarity of these schematics, their price won’t exactly be a bargain.

Anyway, this is major refactor of my first mod for any game ever — a simple content mod at heart. I’m aware that the recipes are VERY expensive and complicated to obtain, and that’s intentional — these armors represent very late-game technology. On the bright side, once crafted, it should stay with you pretty much forever.

NEW TO 2.0? MUST READ!
Forgotten Armory 2.0 migration — backup your saves first

The Forgotten Armory is undergoing a MAJOR refactor to the "REFORGED" versions one by one. It now has two dependencies: Forgotten Armory: Core and Attribute Rendering Library 3.2.0.

BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR SAVES WHILE MIGRATING TO 2.0 VERSIONS OF THE ARMOR MODS. IT WILL BREAK YOUR CURRENT ARMOR AND MIGHT BREAK OTHER THINGS.

How to mitigate possible harm when migrating to 2.0

  1. Get into the game and get your armor inside your inventory.
  2. Quit the game and uninstall the old version of Forgotten Armory: Greenwich.
  3. Install Attribute Rendering Library 3.2.0, install Forgotten Armory: Core, then install Forgotten Armory: Greenwich 2.0.
  4. Once in the game you have two options:
    1. Acquire the item via an in-game command. See the guides in the Handbook and search "chronicles".
    2. Use command /fac purge to replace all old Forgotten Armory items in your inventory with corresponding alternatives.

How to acquire new armors and decorate them properly: see Forgotten Armory: Core for more instructions, or follow the in-game manual in the Handbook / Guides.

Known Issues
  • Repairing Forgotten Armory armors now fills the durability all the way up instead of using the vanilla way of repairing in parts. That is why the repair recipes are more expensive now. The best way to manage the risk / reward is to hover in the lower end of durability before committing to a full repair.

From the Memoirs of Grandmagister Cardinalis Thomas IX. The Pure
[Scene: The forge of Master Eldred. Walls lined with shining suits of armor. Each one a masterpiece. Thomas stands near a strange new design: elegant, heavily fluted breastplate with ornate ridges, shining like liquid moonlight. The Greenwich style experimental suit.]
Thomas
(eyes wide)
Master Eldred… I have never seen anything like this! The curves… the ridges… the grooves! It’s… beautiful.
Master Eldred
(with a mixture of pride and barely contained fury)
Beautiful!? This is not "just" beautiful. This is the closest the mortal realm has ever come to touching the face of the divine! Behold — the Greenwich Pattern. The pinnacle of form and function!
Thomas
(walking around it)
But master… it’s… so decorative. Why all the fluting? Aren’t we adding unnecessary weight?
Master Eldred
(wheeling around, wide-eyed)
UNNECESSARY!? You poor, untempered nail! You think these flutes are decoration? They are strength incarnate! Every groove deflects a blade, redirects force, channels the energy of impact like water over stone!
Thomas
(skeptical)
But wouldn’t a simple curved plate do just as well? All these ridges… seems like extra work.
Master Eldred
(marches up to him, eyes blazing)
And when your simple curve meets a warhammer, lad? SMASH! The plate collapses, the ribs of your knight turn into stew meat! But THIS— this laughs at warhammers! Every angle, every groove, spreads the force like a mother’s arms catching her falling child.
Thomas
(poking a gauntlet gingerly)
But master… with all due respect… isn’t this a bit fancy for war? I mean, won’t the enemy laugh?
Master Eldred
(furious, pacing)
Let them laugh. Let them choke on their laughter as their blades skid uselessly off these fluted walls of justice! You think war is about looking grim and muddy!? No, Thomas. War is about intimidation. When my knight rides into the field clad in this — the sun itself will hesitate to shine for fear of being outdone!
Thomas
But surely these engravings—these gilded edges—don't they serve no real—
Master Eldred
(interrupting, eyes wide like he’s explaining quantum physics to a goat)
NO REAL WHAT!? Function? Purpose? A sword fight, boy, is won before blades cross! When Sir Aldric rides forth in my Greenwich suit, his enemies shall see God Himself descending on horseback! Their courage will crumble before his sword ever rises! That is the purpose.
Thomas
(nodding slowly, half in awe, half overwhelmed)
So… the flutes strengthen… The engravings intimidate… The gilding blinds… The curves deflect… Master… this is like… like—
Master Eldred
(leaning in, eyes gleaming)
Like what, boy?
Thomas
(grinning)
Like an armored peacock of death.
Master Eldred
(throwing his head back, roaring with pride)
YES! YES, THOMAS! A PEACOCK OF DEATH! Brilliant! That’s precisely it! Remember that, lad — for it is not enough to survive battle. One must own it!
[They both stare at the shining armor as sparks fly in the background.]
