Tailored Brigandine

Description

Adds the dyeing mechanic to brigandine armor.  I've set up blue, green, red, black, purple, orange, and grey variants and recipes to make them. Still a work in progress.

You can use dyed leathers to make tailored brigandine, similar to tailored gambeson. 

How to Craft
  1. Dye leather
  2. Use dyed leather to craft a tailored leather jerkin.
  3. Craft enough metal plates and matching nails & strips (e.g. if making steel brigandine, you need steel nails & strips). Quantities should be in the handbook.
  4. Combine tailored leather jerkin with metal products to create tailored brigandine.
  5. (Optional) If crafting a brigandine helmet, you don't need to craft a jerkin before making the helmet.

The tailored brigandine has reduced penalties compared to standard brigandine, but is also takes nails and strips to hold the actual metal plates in place. To give it a more unique niche, it offers the lowest hunger increase of all metal armours, but also the worst protection (i.e. the normal protection for brigandine) and it is more expensive than standard brigandine. 

Now compatible with Combat Overhaul, but Combat Overhaul is not required.

Future Plans (no timeline)
  • Finish the last two colours
  • <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Combat Overhaul compatibility</span> Done!
  • Use ConfigLib to change balancing options
Known Issues
  • The colors cannot be mixed and matched. If you try, whichever color is used for the legs will become the color for the entire outfit. Not sure how to fix this.
  • The orange color scheme kinda looks like trash. Will fix this eventually.
  • The leather jerkins cannot be repaired, nor do they have any durability value. Do not use them to fight drifters because they are but lies and will not protect you. Afaik, they work fine as an intermediate step for crafting.

Thanks for checking this out and have a wonderful day :&gt;
