📋 About This Mod
Hello, and welcome to the first version of the Kirkwall Armor for Aveline mod!
Installation: Place "Guard Insignia aveline.erf" into your Override folder. If you do not know where your "Override" folder is, it is found under the same Dragon Age 2 folder that stores your user data (this is the same Dragon Age 2 folder where any screenshots taken in-game will be stored). This will usually be found in your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder, in the "Bioware" folder, and is NOT the one found under your Program Files. This should be the case for both Macs and PCs, but if you have wound up with an alternate filepath, try to find your in-game screencaps folder and navigate up to the "Dragon Age 2" folder. Once you are in this folder, go into "packages", then "core". There should already be a folder named "override" in here; if there is none, and are sure you are in the right location, you may create one. Once in the "override" folder, you can just paste the files there.
Uninstallation: Delete the file from your override folder.
Features: This mod replaces the unexplained Grey Warden griffon on Aveline's armor with the Kirkwall guard insignia. Due to the asymmetrical nature of this insignia, a small mesh edit was also made to show the insignia fully, meaning this edits both the mesh and the textures.
Permissions: IDK what all you'd be doing with this mod, but feel free to modify and redistribute as long as you credit me!
Acknowledgements: Many, many thanks to magpiedragon for the help with the textures!
If you experience any issues or have any questions about how to install this mod, please let me know and I will get to them ASAP!
