About this mod

Adds armor and weapons from DA2 to DA:O

Requirements
Permissions and credits
IMPORTANT: As of yet not all armor is available to all races and genders (but most of them will be in future updates). The list looks like this:
1)Champ Warrior=ALL races and genders, except golems and dogs :p
2)Champ Mage=humans and elves, all genders
3)Champ Rogue=ALL races and genders, except golems, dogs and qunaris :p
4)Fenris armor=elf male
5)Templar commander armor=human female and elf female
6)Apostate robe= humans of both genders
7)Merrils robe= elf female
8)Templar armor=human male
9)Chantry robes=human male and female
10)Isabella and varrics armor= All race and genders except qunari.
11)Raider armor=Helmet is for ALL races and genders, except golems and dogs.
12)Noble light armor=Human male only
13)Noble light armor v.2= Human male only
14)Leather armor= Human female only
The rest of the armor is human male only. NOTE: This particular armor isn't finished yet, so don't be surprised if it looks weird while moving. The helmet is completely finished though.

15)Grey warden hood from Legacy. Since it seems that tmp7704 didn't want to add them, I did it with some help from prux. These should fit with the armors from tmp7704s mod here: http://social.bioware.com/project/4662/#details The hood is available to dwarves, humans and elves of all genders.

16) Bethany's circle robe= Human male and female, as well as elf female.

So if you try to equip the champion rogue armor to a male human, their body will turn invisible until you unequip the item once again.

If you like this project, please endorse, vote, or post a screenshot of your characters using the items from here. It's always fun to see that there are people actually using them :)

Description:
-----------------
This mod will add ported armors from DA2 to DA:O.

And yes, I did say port. Bioware has fortunately been generous enough to allow it as long as it is only between the dragon age games: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/427607-eabiowares-stance-on-modding-dragon-age/

I was actually planning to not do this and concentrate on other projects, but since I was asked to do a rigging tutorial not long ago I made this in the process, and thought I might as well release it. Note that I have just tested the armor in-game a few minutes, so there might be some issues with the weightpaint that I havn't noticed. Please be patient for updates, as I'm a bit busy in my real life at the moment.

It should also be mentioned that the texture files have the same names as in DA2. What this means is that any retexture originally meant for DA2 will also work in this mod if you extract their .dds files and put them in your DA:O override folder. Unfortunately, most DA2 retexture mods gives you an .erf file. but by following the instructions below you can extract the .dds files from this .erf:


Download: Any DA2 retexture you wish of the already ported armors.
Download: 'pyGFF Editor' (http://social.bioware.com/project/1936/)

Open the program. ('editor')
Go to file menu -> Export
select the .erf file you want to extract the textures from
tick all the .dds files you want to export
select a folder to export them into
place all the exported .dds files into your override folder.

(a huge thank you to Aremeta for telling me how to do this, for recommending pyGFF editor and for making all these fantastic retextures )

CREDITS:
-------------
Pretty much all goes to EA/Bioware for their meshes and textures. I just ripped it from DA2 and rigged it before exporting it to DA:O.

It should however also be noted that @veritrix saved me a lot of time by making the files for Merediths sword readable for the toolset.

Credits should also be given to @ladyofpayne and @Darth Parametric regarding the ports from the DLC "Mark of the Assassin". @ladyofpayne provided the files and requested me to port them in the first place, and @Darth Parametric saved me from some really backbreaking work of sorting out all the files that otherwise where mixed all together with numerical names that didn't make any sense whatsoever. No small feat, I assure you. I spent weeks trying to do the same, an dstill didn't manage to find all the relevant files.
