About this mod
Fixes a bug in Thedosian Grey Wardens that made the armour tint with the character's skin colour.

This tiny mod fixes an issue in Thedosian Grey Wardens where the armour tints to the character's skintone. It will apply to IceBuckets' Dwarven Expansion too if you have it installed.
This has not been tested as I don't currently have TGW installed, but it should work. Many thanks to lynnkie's very prompt screenshot work; I now know that it works and have a proper thumbnail!
Thedosian Grey Wardens' MAO (material object) files use the "ArmourSkinTint" semantic but don't have tint maps, which makes the game use default_black.dds as a tint map. However default_black is...not fully black: the alpha channel is white, and since any semantic that can do skin tinting uses the alpha channel for the skin tint map, that results in the whole armour being overlaid with the skin tint of the character wearing it.
The solution here: change the MAOs to use the "NoTint" semantic.
Extract in the usual override folder (\Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
To uninstall, delete the files at any time.
No conflicts known. Thedosian Wardens is a DAZIP mod, so you won't need to overwrite anything.
Should work fine with mods that apply TGW to characters and other armours, such as Thedosian Wardens of Ferelden and Thedosian Warden for Awakening
