Leather Armor Retex to \"New\" look.
- ****** ATTENTION ****
- This armor is made with a texture resolution of 4096. If your system can\'t deal with this just resize the texture files to a size you feel comfortable with.
- *************************
- **** V3. 0 ****
- Finally made this an actual \"mod\" with an .esp file. It is no longer a universal replacer, but a unique set of armor. Still alot of work to go for the end result I want, but putting up this version for testing. please let me know how it works for you.
- The new armor can be found under the stairs in the ruined portion of Springvale Elementary School.
- This version is still using the stock mesh, so there are slight irregularities where the texture and the mesh do not match exactly. However these are slight, and will not detract from the overall look, unless you examine it very closely.

- ===== OLD Info. =====
- Most everything below this point is outdated. just leaving it here for the sake of a record.
- This is a simple texture replacement. Just unzip the file to your data directory as per any texture replacement mod. Then copy the lines to your archiveinvalidation file.
- The _n.dds files have been modified as well. However they are just flat images to remove the underlying details until I can get around to fixing them to match the new setup.
- If anybody has any pointers on editing or creating new _n.dds files from scratch please let me know. This is kicking my butt.
- The texture is based on the Bethesda Original. I have just modified it to add a bit more variety, and changed the rough “homemade” look to a newer look. Basically this is a “new set” that has not been repaired over the years.
- ===========================================
- 2_01
- created normal map and finished this version of the texture.
- This version does not match the underlying mesh exactly so there are some spots where you will find oddities if you look close.
- =========================================
- 2_0
- New highres version based on Joseph Grey\'s uploads.
- still no normalmap and the texture is not finished, but
- I am uploading it for anybody who is interested in the
- Project. I still plan to make this a standalone unique
- armor, rather than a global texture replacer.
