Black and Gold Warden Armor (Heavy and Medium)

Black and Gold Grey Warden Armor Retexture

Nov 27, 2022 Updates:

• [] Added an optional mod that retextures the craftable warden helmet in the same style. Available for both Frosty and Daimod.

  []Added the "DAI Inquisitor and Companion Warden Heavy and Medium Frosty Texture Glitch Fix" mod to fix the "rainbow pixel" glitch effect observed with the Frosty version of the mod.

Version 1. 1 - Updated to include the buttflaps present on non-HM models.

This mod retextures both the heavy and medium versions of the Grey Warden armors (the light version is unaffected). I wanted something in Inquisition that resembled the Dark version of Aremeta's Texture Pack for the DAO Grey Wardens of Ferelden mod, but the closest I could find was ManOfMischief's Grey Warden Armor mod, and that's for light armor only.

So I went about making my own. This mod recolors the metal to a dark gunmetal grey and additionally removes the intense shininess from the metal. The griffon on the chestplate is tinted gold, and gold trim is present on the paudrons, knee and elbow cobs, and some of the rivets and buckles. This retexture retains the vanilla tintable locations, with the exception of the metal. Cloth and leather is tintable, but the metal is not. I have additionally darkened the leather gloves on the heavy model (normally not tintable) so they contrast less with the darker metal.

Please note that this mod will very likely affect npc Grey Wardens, not just the crafted armor.

I took great pains to ensure that the Frosty version of this mod does not significantly increase load times, but of course the only machine I could test it on was my own. If you find that the frosty version of this mod does not play nicely with your load times (as Frosty is often very finicky about texture mods), I recommend using the daimod version.

Important Note:   If you encounter a "rainbow pixel" glitch effect with the Frosty version of this mod, you must use the "DAI Inquisitor and Companion Warden Heavy and Medium Frosty Texture Glitch Fix" mod included in the Main Files. This mod is a bundle-style Frosty glitch fix mod like the ones found in the [url=https://w
