About this mod

Fixes to various .mmh, .msh, .mao, and tint files, so that various bugged armors tint properly.

While testing various WIPs, I kept coming across instances where F!Hawke's armor was colored differently than M!Hawke's, and I finally got annoyed enough to go through all the armor files.  Turns out there were errors that were preventing the tint system from working properly.  A lot of errors - misnamed submeshes, faulty .maos, faulty tint maps, missing tint maps....yikes.

So, here's my compilation of fixes.   Some fixes are already covered by other mods (mostly for armors with visible skin, since the issue is usually pretty obvious on any character with a skin tint darker than "1"), but for completionism's sake, I've included all fixes I've made so far.
So, hopefully all the pieces of matching armor sets should now actually match.  😄
Most of the affected files were random HF armor pieces, and helms for both HF & HM.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet managed to restore tinting on hoods.  I'm pretty sure something else is at work there, and I haven't been able to crack it yet.


Install in the override.  Can be installed at any time.
Will conflict with other mods that edit the same files, so I recommend using this mod as a base, and overwriting it via load order with more specialized mods. 

Optional folder - Restored Material Tinting - some Item Pack armors used blank dummy tints to prevent material tinting.  I've removed them, mostly so that the "Helm of the Exile" better matches Beregrand's Breastplate. 


Miscellaneous - patch for MotA - Vault Armor - Orlesian style.  That mod's clipping fix for the male Orlesian noble outfit breaks tinting, so here's a patch allowing M!Hawke to look fancy and all the nobles to still have garish tunics.  
I thought this was a vanilla bug and racked my brain for entirely too long trying to find errors in the game files.  😅😅😅
