Love it. is there a way to make it all firey? or dust, you can use the dust particle set from my ORRR submission which was provided by someone else.

I would also ad a percentage chance to drop some sort of rusty plate mail armor.

Great. Now if someone can retexture the inside of the armor that is not normally visible and so is now invisible form certain angles, we'd be set.

There is no inside you could add a texture to, but what you can do is set the material to 'doubleSided = true,'. This will show the outer texture on the inside as well and you won't see those glitchy looking gaps anymore. Downside is that a) the texture is exactly the same as on the other side, b) the armor will look thin and c) light is only calculated for the 'real thing', which means parts that should be bright will be dark and vice versa.

But nice idea!

Excellent idea -- I had thought of a similar thing for the Uggardian. Sadly he doesn't look very fearsome without hands...

Trying to make the armor material doublesided is good. I doubt it'd work right away, but it is nevertheless worth trying.
