Many of us are using the Chantry Robes - Inquisition Colors mod from SaintVehk. I really like the recolor that he made.
However, the diffuse maps had some issues:
1) pf_rob_chaa_*.dds maps suffered from a wrong size and misalignment that causes some glitches. I fixed them.
2) Many diffuse maps had an empty alpha channel which takes VRAM and disk space for doing nothing. I saved them in DXT1 format (aka BC1) with no alpha channel (50% file size reduction) at the same resolution.
3) Many diffuse maps had no mipmaps. I generated all of them.
The new maps are now optimized for performance, without loss of resolution.
UPDATE 1.1
A couple of further fixes I forgot in previous version (gold sun on the shoulder and lace in the back).
UPDATE 1.2 (candidate for final version)
I used an automated recolor procedure, as I set up in YAHD - Yet Another HD Mod (and Fixes). This assures that the original details of vanilla textures are preserved, even the ones that I could have missed manually in the retexture v.1.1, while the color scheme of Chantry Robes - Inquisition Colors is used. If you use this version v1.2, delete any previous one and extract this one in your override folder (in v1.2 I rearranged the LOD textures in subdirectories for clarity). I consider this as the final version, unless issues are found by users.
Installation:
Place the extracted files in your override folder. You do not need the original mod.
My other DAO mods:
Amor of the Black Fox (Hsli compatible). A skimpy version of Nezroi Armor of the Black Fox to be compatible with Hsli Female Light Armor Replacement. I also included an optional fix of the tint maps of the Hsli mod.
YAHD - Yet Another HD Mod (and Fixes). A project for HD upscaling of creatures' textures at 1k/2k for balance in quality and performance.
Theta HD (Fix). It fixes some textures from Theta HD mod. The original mod is not strictly required.
Male underwear retexture. Retexture of the human male underwear with dark grey underwear.
Creatures Tweaks. Some addons to my personal favorite creatures.
Collaborations:
Chasind Robe (yet another attempt). Original idea from stadavan. Tight version of the Chasind robe with a more covered chest and other minor shadow corrections, while keeping vanilla style as close as possible.
Hoods (for the Girls): Help from RogueLass and wizzyrm. Some wearable custom hoods for companions (girls) to match with notable armors and robes.
