📋 About This Mod

It always bothered me how difficult it is to see the details on the vanilla mosaics.  This mod aims to remedy that by adding high contrast and color to the five collectible mosaics in the game.

Choose one of three versions:  Restored Mosaics (full color), Restored Mosaics Bronze, or Restored Mosaics Silver.

Please note that this mod does not automatically make the mosaics appear!  You still need to collect the pieces yourself.  Edits to the mosaic WILL appear on the pieces in the field, though.

A special thank you to jheresy - I used Completed Side Quests HF Mage No Deluxe Content to test these!  Saved me having to go around completing the mosaics myself, which was a huge help.  Please note that Invasion is not finished in the screenshots, but the entire mosaic was retextured, so it should be fine when it is finished.

When merging this mod, you may get this warning:  *** Warning: da3/factions/tevinter/props/textures/prp_tev_basthefall_d not found

Ignore it, it's a false flag.

Will conflict with any mod that edits the mosaic texture diffuses.  I haven't seen anyone else attempt this, though.  Should not conflict with anything else.

Edit 10/22/2018 - A FrostyMod version of the Bronze retexture has been converted by nerjaveika!  It's in the Optional Files.  Thank you!!

FUN FACT:  Both "The Invasion" and "The Fall" show eight magisters entering and exiting the Fade, not seven.  Considering the codex entry that hints that there might have been an eighth Old God who was stricken from historical record, I find this very interesting, indeed.  Mason Gatsi never mentions this and I would never have seen this if I hadn't pulled the textures out of the files, but it should be more visible in the modded version.
