📋 About This Mod
Separate file to fix the equippable version of this helmet for him (elf male helm of the Drasca) is now also available in the optional files, however that file is frosty only because the da:i mod manager doesn't let me edit it. The main fix files are for either mod manager, though.
The dai mod manager version of the main fix has a black mark on the hat, on the buckle of the belt, sash, and in two areas on the front of Solas' shirt, as is pictured. These marks will only appear on Solas' outfit, it will not affect the inquisitor or anybody else's outfit. The marks also appear less prominent under different angles.
These black spots are an issue with how the dai mod maker imports 3d models, there is nothing I can do about it, unfortunately, so only use the DAIMM version if you don't mind this.
The frosty mod manager version does NOT have this issue, only the daimod version suffers from it.
Compatibility
The main fixes should work with formalwear retextures, and those will show up on the helmet if you have them installed. Be aware though that formalwear textures loaded via frosty tend to glitch, so if you are experiencing any issues with the formalwear and you are using that mod manager, my mod probably will not be causing it because my mod is not a retexture, so it should behave. Retextures loaded through dai mod manager tend to behave, though.
The main fixes will conflict with mods that edit the shape of Solas' hat or formalwear outfit in this mission. At release, the only publicly available mod that conflicts with this one that I know of is xstephyg's Solas formalwear hat removal mod, so do not use both at the same time.
The frosty helm of the Drasca fix from the optional files should work with retextures to the helm of the Drasca helmet, but will conflict with shape edits to the elf male Drasca helmet, and tint and stat edits for any race and gender of the Drasca helmet. That file alone will not conflict with formalwear edits, however, the helmet in this file will not be affected by formalwear retextures because it has it's own set of textures.
