CHANGELOG:

- v1.01: Added the leather glove texture and its normal and specular maps in 2048x2048 and 1024x204 resolution. Also edited the specular map on the leather armor so that the metal shines more in non-tarnished sections, and so that the cloth straps won't shine.


DESCRIPTION:

Vanilla Armor Expansion is an ongoing project that *will eventually* replace all vanilla armor textures (male and female) with totally repainted and extremely detailed versions of the original. It is my goal to eventually include multiple variations of the armor sets that retain the the design of the original to allow for more variety during gameplay (hence the name 'Expansion').

I wanted to hold off on releasing this until I had multiple sets of armor retextured, however I'm enjoying using this texture so much that I wanted to go ahead and share. This mod currently contains a 4096x4096 diffuse, normal, and specular map for female 'Leather Armor' and 'Wanderer's Leather Armor'. I am also including 2048x2048 maps of the same for those with more limited systems.


INSTALLATION:

1. To apply the textures, you'll need to add the following file paths to your ArchiveInvalidation.txt file:
- textures/armor/leatherarmor/outfitf.dds
- textures/armor/leatherarmor/outfitf_n.dds
- textures/armor/leatherarmor/glovesm.dds
- textures/armor/leatherarmor/glovesm_n.dds

2. Move the included textures into the correct folder within your Fallout 3 folder. The file path should look like:
- Data\Textures\Armor\Leatherarmor\Files go here

3. Make sure that your FALLOUT.ini is set to invalidate older files. To do this go into the FALLOUT.ini file located in the MyDocuments\MyGames\Fallout3 folder and set the line of code that reads
- bInvalidateOlderFiles=0
to the following:
- bInvalidateOlderFiles=1


A WARNING:

This mod is intended for users with high end systems that are running the game at or near maximum settings. You may not get the full benefit of the textures if your game is not set to the highest settings for texturing.


DISCLAIMER:

Send me a PM or an e-mail at [email protected] if you want to use these textures for anything other than your personal use (i.e. for a modification of your own).
