It can be and has been done

Here is one mod that might do the trick, I have never played it so I do not know how good it is.

Well, that's just using long blade. I saw that possibility. I was hoping to be able to make it the actual spear skill, rather than the (already overused) long blade. But I did make a one-handed silver staff, and a one-handed wooden staff, called the Pilgrim Staff, and a handful of throwing spears, and set them on a new NPC in Seyda Neen.

EDIT: Just tested it, and I'm not quite sure if the selling works, since he attacked on sight and I had to kill him. The weapons work, though.

EDIT 2: More details... On the staves, I lowered speed and reach and shifted the type to one-handed blunt. The spear I used Iron Spear as the baseline, dropped the weight, lowered the speed, changed the chop attack to the same values as the thrust, and made it marksman-throwable.

Question: Where might I find these new armor types? I've tried retailers in both Silgrad proper and RP, to no avail. Are these all new armors I'm going to have to be sneaky with a body to get? Or have I just not found the right armor shop?

True ! they are just set at longblade, I think theirs a couple of modders who have or are working on a spear version with some throwing animations I'll have to look into it more.

[Maeglin Dubh]

Ok, the selling works. But he only has ten. How do you set a merchant to refill their stock?

I don't understand

restocking is typically once you leave for some time and come back...

what selling works are you referring to?

********
With regard to this:

Most of what I discribed is used by the Knights, and Special Guard units, you won't find them for sale, maybe a piece here and thier, but for the most part, if your looking to get (for example) Silgrad Prime Guard Uniform you'll need to pick a fight with one of them and take it

About the wildlife: we could add some new ones found on planetelderscrolls, but bob is the one that decides. I too think it is a little empty, so I could do a little search over the web. Everything I found i'll add to the resources that could be used thread in the warehouse.
Bob you decide.

EDIT: Is it possible to make a new version, because the warehouse is full of files and it is hard to find them?

A new version of what?

********************************************************
Wildlife

We allready have Caits Farm Animals and Abots Waterlife

We need Horses, Wild Boar, and whatever other wildlife may have been seen in OB, (I've never played so I don't know)

Bob

A new version of the ST esp, with those files in the warehouse.
A 1.6 or wich ever is the next.

About the refilling the stock:
Did you make your merchant with -10 pieces? You need to give him that minus in front of the stock.

[Maeglin Dubh]

-10... That would do it. Right now he only has 10 throwing spears, and 2 each of the staves. So if I put a - in front of whatever number, he'll restock?

[agram]

Yes just give him everithing - and the number you want him to have. This also works with chests and all other containers

[Maeglin Dubh]

Fixed! Works just fine now. Now remains only to decide what else to add to him....

Question: Do the backpacks serve any specific purpose? And what armor slot do they occupy? I was wondering since some mods use backpacks with a constant effect Feather spell so you can carry more while you're wearing one.

[agram]

I know of one backpack mod, and that is palduron replacer, i think it serves no purpose. Why do you ask?
