My collection of fixes and improvements for the Kirkwall Exports mod.

Changelogs
I play with the Kirkwall Exports mod all the time, it is great! However, I felt that I could make this mod even better. So here it is! My humble collection of fixes and improvements for the Kirkwall Exports mod.


Features:
  • Much better textures. Now armor and clothing have 2k textures, and gloves, boots, helmets have 1k textures. (You can also install the version with lower quality textures).
  • New specular maps. Now the metal and leather elements are shiny, but the fabric is not.
  • Added LODs for all models. No more deformed models from a distance!
  • Some model fixes. Tried to fix broken fingers, collars and skirts.
  • Meredith's Armor and Bethany's Circle Robe now available for elf male.
  • Chantry Robe now available for dwarves.
  • Apostate's Robe (Bethany's and Anders' outfits) now available for elves.
  • Fixed the script that adds the Light Noble Gloves to the inventory.
  • Added icons and inventory subgroups for all items. More beauty and order in your inventory :)
  • Added balanced stats to items without stats.
  • You can now buy all items from merchants in the game. I've restored Ahren's store for this purpose. If you find any bugs, let me know!

Merchants list:
Origins:
  • Quartermaster (Circle Tower): Templar armor, Mage robes and staves, Chantry robe. 
  • Ahren (The Frostback Mountains): Other rogue and warrior armor and weapons.
Awakening:
  • Octham the Grocer (Amaranthine): Templar armor, Mage robes and staves, Chantry robe.
  • Glassric the Weaponsmith (Amaranthine): Other rogue and warrior armor and weapons.


Known issues and important information
  • The fingers of Isabela's gloves and Fenris' gloves and boots don't tint. I'm so sorry, but I can't fix this bug. So only equip Fenris' and Isabela's armor on pale Wardens. Or use the same armor from other mods. If you know how to fix this bug, let me know! FIXED.
  • From a distance, Meredith's hair is turning white. I don't know how to fix it yet.
  • I did NOT change Item Variation IDs, so if you have a conflict with other armor mods, change the IDs in the UTI files yourself using this tutorial. Or delete the UTI files from my pack, if you don't need new icons and stats for items.
  • The fix pack should be compatible with other retextures, fixes and improvements for the Kirkwall Exports mod, as my fix pack folder has a lower priority. However, if the textures are not displayed correctly after installing the fix pack, check your override folder for duplicate files, and then delete them.


Highly recommended for installation
I didn't improve the textures and the model of Merrill's outfit and the model of Bethany's Circle robe because commanderstrawberry already did that. Please download and install these mods along with my pack:

Installation
Main file
  • Install the Kirkwall Exports mod and the LAA patch.
  • Then choose only one main file of my fix pack, 1k or 2k, and download it.
  • Unpack the archive with 7-zip archiver.
  • Move the unpacked "aaa KE Fixes and Imroves" folder into your "override" folder (...Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).
  • Done!

IF you don't want to add the items to merchants, delete the "Store Scripts" folder in the "aaa KE Fixes and Imroves" folder.
IF you don't need new icons and stats for items, delete the "UTIs" folder in the "aaa KE Fixes and Imroves" folder.

To uninstall my pack, just delete the "aaa KE Fixes and Imroves" folder from your override folder.

Optional files
  • Install the Kirkwall Exports mod. It's not necessary to install the main archive of my fix pack.
  • Download and unpack the optional archive(s).
  • If you have installed the main file of my fix pack, move the unpacked optional folder(s) into the "aaa KE Fixes and Imroves" folder. If you didn't install the main file of my fix pack, move the unpacked optional folder(s) to your override folder.


Information about optional files
  • The file "KE DA2 Templar Corpses" changes the armor of the Templar corpses to the Kirkwall Exports version.
  • The file "KE Isabela With Pants" adds pants to Isabela's outfit. Choose only one version, 1k or 2k!
  • The file "KE Merediths Hairless Hood" removes the hair from Meredith's hood for female Wardens. Unfortunately, the hood's hair is tinted by the item's material, not by the character's settings. I don't know how to change that, so removing the hair is the best solution for now (imho).
  • The file "KE Non-Tintable Textures" disables the tinting of armor and weapons with materials. If you only want to disable the Chantry robe tinting, then open the "KE Non-Tintable Textures" folder and delete all files except hn_rob_chaa_0t.dds. Update 1.1: Fixed the hm_arm_raia_0.mao file.
