Description

You can find the Tailoring guide here Tailoring player guide.

This script will allow you to Lighten cloth or leather armor or shields. To use this script you must have the Tailored Craft Enhancement technique. Without this Tech you can't lighten or reinforce tailored armors and shields. First thing you need is have needles with the proper thread already put on the needles in your LightContainer (PUT THREAD ON MY NEEDLE). Note from what I can tell fine thread works just fine for all reinforcing projects. You dont need to use a thick or heavy thread on leather items to lighten them. Also note that each Push of the needles will use 1 yard of thread. You can use from 6 to 10 yards of thread per lightened item. Maybe more for big armor items like leathers.

Second have your tailoring book open to the correct page for armor Lightening in chapter 1 and in your LightBookContainer, and yes you can make this container the same as the one where your tools are at.

Third have the item to be reinforced in your LightContainer. Have one extra set of the same type of thread you are using in your container also on top in case you run out. The script will try to rethread the needles and continue on.

This script will run as is in stormfront, and genie. To make it run in the Wizard you need to make a few changes.

Front End Changes

The script is currently set up and will run in stormfront as is. It will also run in Genie as is. To make this script run in the Wizard front end you must make 7 changes. The script has a number of pairs of commands where one is used and the other is commented out. Two such are shown below:

  setvariable tooll scissors
#  save scissors

  goto my0%tool
#  goto my0%s

These two lines must be changed as follows to run in the wizard front end (notice the one used is above the # currently):

# setvariable tooll scissors
  save scissors

# goto myl%tooll
 goto myl%s

Each pair of lines that show up appear in the script 7 times. So there is some editing required to run it in the wizard front end.

Other Tailor Scripts

The Lighten.cmd script is part of a tailoring script set as follows:

sew.cmd
spin.cmd
seal.cmd
reinforce.cmd
weave.cmd
knit.cmd

Instructions
