Fireglass Armory - Special Edition

Fireglass Armory adds a standalone set of new armor and weapons to the game, with complete racial, gender, and weight slider support. Unlike other glass retextures, all Fireglass equipment used edited meshes with the correct specular colors, so no more green shine on these fiery items. The included textures are based on the High-Res DLC/Vanilla Optimized Textures, so they look great. The male and female chest plates use 2k textures, and the other armor and weapons use 1k.

Fire enchantments placed on Fireglass are 25% stronger (much like Stalhrim with frost in the vanilla game).

Fireglass Armor comes in both light and heavy variants. Light armor is comparable to Stalhrim Light armor in terms of stats, and heavy is on par with Ebony armor (but lighter).

Fireglass Armor can be crafted as long as you have the Glass Smithing perk. Light Fireglass Armor requires Malachite and Steel ingots to craft, and Heavy Fireglass Armor requires Malachite and Ebony ingots.

Fireglass weapons are slightly stronger than their Glass counterparts, while remaining as lightweight as glass.

In order to craft Fireglass weapons, you need the Glass Smithing perk. Fireglass weapons are crafted from Malachite and Steel ingots.

Fireglass Armory has full support for beast races, both genders, and the weight slider. This may seem obvious since it's a Glass variant. But once again, Fireglass uses its own meshes and care was taken that each and every model was carefully carried over and edited to match the new look. NO races left behind!

Fireglass is distributed to loot and vendor lists dynamically via a one-time script. No bashed patch is required.

While creating Fireglass Armory, I made templates for every piece of glass gear that allows for easy recoloring of each individual piece of the equipment. Each texture has been separated to its different materials, so it's easy to change, say, just the color of the glass, or just the color of the metal. This took a while but when finished allowed me to apply my retextures in <10 minutes. These are GIMP files (but can be converted to .psd files for photoshop users) and I'm putting them up as a resource in case anybody wants to make their own recolors of Glass armor. In addition, feel free to disassemble this mod if you want to learn how to make standalone armor mods. I used the CK texture set approach for applying textures, but in the future I'll be pathing textures manually in nifskope to save myself some work.
