Description

The .json files needed to sort COCKS' smithing menu Armoury of Tamriel-style; a few .json edits so simple I'm surprised no one has uploaded this yet.

The new .json files (Skyrim.json, which overwrites COCKS', and Armoury of Tamriel.json, which forwards the changes in the new Skyrim.json just in case they're overwritten by anything else) sort COCKS' smithing menu solely in terms of upgrade material. This means categories like Hide and Imperial are removed entirely, with iron hide gear appearing under Iron and dwarven imperial gear appearing under Dwarven. I've also taken the liberty of adding Silver and renaming Elven and Orcish to Moonstone and Orichalcum, respectively. Bonemold, Chitin, and Falmer remain untouched from COCKS' default settings as AoT doesn't do much with them anyways. Anything that doesn't conform to the vanilla/AoT keyword system should now show up under Other, as opposed to an unused category like Hide.

Install as you would any other mod - with a mod manager (recommended) or directly to the data folder. Make sure my Skyrim.json overwrites COCKS' (in other words, load this after COCKS).

Very likely incompatible with anything that changes COCKS' default sections, such as Seperate Weapon and Armor. I'll see if I can make a patch for such mods if there's interest but I encourage you to make any edits you may need and upload them yourself - editing a .json is a lot easier than you may think.

• AoT doesn't remove the WeapMaterialImperial keyword from the vanilla steel imperial swords or AmorMaterialImperialLight keyword from the vanilla steel imperial chainmail, meaning they show up under the Silver menu with the actual silver equipment. AoT Fixes solves this issue.
• For some reason, the "$Moonstone" and "$Orichalcum" categories keep the "$" in-game, even though vanilla categories like "$Iron" or the other renamed category "$Silver" don't. I've removed the $ from the offending categories and they seem to work fine now, hopefully it doesn't cause issues for others.
