📋 About This Mod
This original MOD author is Darkraven Danick aka D. D. Silversmith, NOT ME !! SO Please support his original work：DS1_Ebony_Lion_Ornstein_Armor_Retexture Original Dragon slayer lance MOD：DS1_Royal_DragonSlayer_Spear And Of course, please Endorse and Vote to D. D. Silversmith !
My English may not be good, because I am an Taiwanese and my first language is not English. I hope you can understand what I say. =A=
I transferred his Ornstein armor retexture MOD to Dark Souls 3 (DS3). I improved his textures & rectified all specular maps to fit DS3 environment, so it's kind different from original one. And I also improved Ebony Ornstein's right eye too, because the original position is too high, it cause his eye looks weird. Final, if D. D. Silversmith see this MOD & don't want to see this MOD that I post on nexusmods, I will remove it. =3
NEW Note for 3. 0 : I decided to re-post this MOD on nexusmods, the old one is here: Ebony Golden Lion Ornstein Armor You can see that the old one's plate part is more smokier than original MOD, and there is no silver version. I resolved to rectify gold version once again and add a silver version, because I found a much better way to do specular maps to fit DS3 environment.
