Latex Metal Armor
tavtav

I liked the texture on the vanilla metal armor, but it still felt like it could use some matrixification, so this
texture adds a black latex look to the armor.

Installation:

1) Copy the textures folder to your Data folder inside the Fallout 3 one. You can also copy the files and/or sub-folders into your textures
folder manually if you're worried about messing with previous texture mods.

2) If you don't already have a file called ArchiveInvalidation.txt, copy it to your Fallout 3 folder. If you do, copy the following text and
add it to your existing one:

textures/armor/metalarmor/farmor.dds
textures/armor/metalarmor/farmor_n.dds

3) Go to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 and edit FALLOUT.ini if you haven't already, and change
the line "bInvalidateOlderFiles=0" to "bInvalidateOlderFiles=1" if you haven't already.

Load up Fallout 3 and you should be ready to go!

IF this doesn't work, then I recommend doing the following:

1) Download ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated (Manual Version) at:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10724

2) Copy ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa to your "data" folder.

3) Go to the folder C:\Documents and My Documents\My Games\Fallout3 and edit FALLOUT.ini if you haven't already, and change
the line that starts with "SArchiveList" (ctrl-f is a good way to do this) with the following:

SArchiveList=ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Voices.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - MenuVoices.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa

You should now never have to bother with your ArchiveInvalidation file again! :)

Feel free to use this texture in any mods or projects you're working on, just make sure to put credit in there somewhere for me!
