Dark Dragon Hunters Armour

=============================



Dark Dragon Hunter's Armour
---------------------------

This mod adds a new standalone set of armour to the game. Works for both males and females, and without the Mark of the Assassin DLC installed.


It includes:

Dark Dragon Hunter's Coif
Dark Dragon Hunter's Gloves
Dark Dragon Hunter's Armour
Dark Dragon Hunter's Boots

There is also an alternate download available with a darker skin tint on the glove fingers:

Dark Dragon Hunters Armour (Darker Skin Tint)

It adds the same items as above, the only difference being the darker finger skin tint for the gloves.

=============================

Optional downloads

=============================

A black and red cloth version of the chainmail hood, added on its own:


Dark Dragon Hunter's Black Hood


And a pair of full-fingered gloves instead of the fingerless gloves included in the armour:


Dark Dragon Hunter's Full Gloves

A huge thanks to the folks at Bioware for making Dragon Age 2 and all its awesome add-ons. Also DAO. That too.

More huge thanks to Thor for the "StandAlone Guide" for modders, found here:

Thanks to the great armourer Amereta for the awesome mod 'Orlesian Noble Hunting Armors' which inspired me to make this armour.
Amareta's mod can be found here:

(It should be compatible with my mod, although the 'Mark of the Assassin' DLC is required for Amereta's mod. But I wanted to make them work with each other,
because Amereta's mod is awesome and I wanted to keep using it myself, I figured others would too.)

Super grateful thanks also to Amereta for allowing others to use the files contained in the above mod. I used the texture maps and mao, mmh and phy
files as a template for how to structure this mod, then altered the maps and files I pulled from the MotA add-ins folders to make it, except for the hood,
which is a retexture of one of the random noble hoods in the base game, 'hm_hoo_nobc'.
