fashion quest (?) breastplate of Eradication
Yo! I recently came across an old thread related to the appearance of the Vindi and Statue BPs. But I'm a little unclear on the conclusion drawn here that the Eradication BP should use the old plate texture rather than the newer Velious texture.
Numerous pictures were posted in the thread with claims of being the Eradi BP and demonstrating a velious graphic, but these screenshots lack any real direct evidence that they are the BP in question, and many (if not all) are from post-Velious. The clearest example of the BP being awarded and equipped seems to be "Prybutok Browneyes" from January 1st, 2002. Later on April 5th when he receives a primal the screenshot below was taken. https://i.imgur.com/pJKGmOR.jpg I've read that Velious textures were disabled by default and that might account for the appearance of the BP here (as well as the rest of his armor, if it is the Kael warlord armor). The standout element here being the velious helmet. I haven't yet determined whether having these textures disabled would also disable the appearance of custom helmets. Quote:
I realize I might be posting this a little prematurely as I'm still trying to find good evidence one way or another. But I figured I'd post and see if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction. I haven't had much luck finding a clear example of the BP awarded and screenshotted prior to Luclin. The only in-era "evidence" I see is the one-time poster on Zam claiming that the Eradi BP "looks like Umbral." Its appearance is listed on Lucy as "Velious Plate 2," but if it was changed to this at a later date, I haven't been able to find evidence of that either. I'll keep looking. |

Any chance we can get another look at this? There is the old, closed thread linked by Kumasar originally: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=201766
and then my friend Ouallada (his SK on live, at least) wearing a BoE with a black tint and velious plate graphic (thurg/kael/ss) https://i.imgur.com/A3q37P3.png |
Your evidence for it being classic textured, is a picture of an Agony warrior wearing Warlords (Agony was a kael factioned guild on vaz), and all of the Warlords (velious armour) is in classic textures, as he has velious textures turned off?

Chestplate of Vindication & Breastplate of Eradication with updated Velious appearance.
[Note that some of the items in last three profiles are not classic, though the ones preceding those do appear to be pre-Luclin.] https://web.archive.org/web/20011216...?name=Rainessa 04:36:21 Dec 16, 2001 https://i.imgur.com/Q3IQWom.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20011215...?name=Trivilus 03:19:33 Dec 15, 2001 https://i.imgur.com/Cry2zaW.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20011224...ame=Wynterstar [ 49 hits | Updated 12/10/01 10:32:15 ] https://i.imgur.com/paVdj1x.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20011215...hp?name=Qualtz 02:42:15 Dec 15, 2001 https://i.imgur.com/b1vADXZ.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20011215...p?name=Ootampa 02:31:18 Dec 15, 2001 https://i.imgur.com/ld5TDY6.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20011220...p?name=Sariden [ 70 hits | Updated 12/10/01 01:58:41 ] https://i.imgur.com/QZh9moT.jpg https://web.archive.org/web/20020810...hp?name=Bashew [ 3911 hits | Updated 8/7/02 21:38:26 ] https://i.imgur.com/ans3MDy.jpg |

Pretty definitive, and the 9/16 kill lines up with the 9/12 developer reply i referenced earlier in the thread saying "some other items received cosmetic upgrades"

I believe there is enough evidence that Chestplate of Vindication, Breastplate of Eradication, and Boots of the Vindicator had appearance changes in Sept 2001.
What specifically the material was, however, I am not sure. Velious armor material types are designated by using material types 17-23. (from right to left in the following image.) Example case: Troll Warrior. Changing Breastplate of Eradication to material 22 results in the bottom left (plate). https://i.imgur.com/vHvL0XG.jpg However, reviewing this image: https://i.imgur.com/ans3MDy.jpg Breastplate of Eradication would be using material 19 (Scale). Is the Troll instead wearing the Chestplate of Vindication? There are similar inconsistencies with the Dark Elf chest material. The wiki has consolidated images for each race/material https://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Fashion How should this work? Are the lucy records accurate for Velious Plate 1/Velious Plate 2? https://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=25044 https://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=25206 The way I am reading is would be Chestplate of Vindication would be material 19, and Breastplate of Eradication 22. |
