tmp7704 unique dalish armour model tweak

This is an edit of the male and female elf models of tmp7704's unique dalish armour port. Intended to be used alongside Ferelden Elves as it will match the bodies in that mod, but it will work on its own.

Changes from original

Elf male model is made thinner and collar adjusted

Some tweaks to weights on both elf female and elf male.

Elf female curve of back made softer.

LOD2 maos added and LOD2 models are decimated, to improve performance

New bigger dalish textures added.

Optional files

- Flatter chest version of female mesh, for people who prefer Sports Bra Armour/ Neutral Female Armor

- Compatibility patch with Dalish Armour - Gender and Race Specific Retextures (not tested)

Installation

To make this easier to install I have included all parts of tmp7704's original mod, including the files I did not change.

Unzip the archive to folder "../Bioware/DragonAge/packages/core/override" which is typically located in "My Documents" folder.

To uninstall, delete the folder.

If you already have a version of this installed, delete the original mod from your override and replace with this. It will be called da2_armour-light- the elf update mod comes with it packaged.

If using the flatter chest msh, drag and drop them into the EF folders and let them overwrite the msh.

If using the Gender and race specific patch, drag and drop the mmhs to overwrite the ones in this mod. Make sure you have the mao and textures from the other mod. If a mao is missing the character will go green and tpose, and if a texture is missing the outfit will become shiny.

Original mod documentation

This module adds two new armour variations to the Single Player module and its expansions, adapted from DA2 resources. The new appearances are assigned to following items from the default game:

Shadow of the Empire, Backhands, Silverhammer's Tackmasters

The Felon's Coat, Katriel's Grasp, Adaia's Boots.

notes and known issues:

Current support of custom armour variations in DA is severely limited due to game engine bug. With more than a few custom models installed it's very likely to experience a conflict which causes one custom model replace another. Unfortunately if such situation happens the only easy way to resolve it is to only have one of such conflicting models installed.

technical notes:

the appearances included in this mod use variation IDs from range 178-185.
