About this mod

A retexture for \'Recon Armor\' that replaces the green hued metal and tan leather with something more befitting for a stealth based character. This retexture only replaces the female version of the texture. Version 1.02 features high res textures at 2048x2048 resolution.

Permissions and credits
*Please Note: This mod only contains texture files for the female version of the armor, and will look distorted if used to replace the male textures.*


CHANGELOG:

V1.01 - Remade the normal map as a DXT5 with interpolated alpha for a higher quality specular map (the reflections off the armor are now higher quality). Also included updated .PSD with the new alpha channel.
v1.02 - The textures are now at 2048x2048 resolution instead of the default 1024x1024. All of the textures and maps have been edited to take advantage of the higher
resolution.


DESCRIPTION:

I made this mod for personal use, mainly because I play a stealth based character and I found the color choice for the Recon Armor to be... unbefitting. So, I figured that if anyone else enjoys pleather-clad assassins, then they'd probably enjoy this version of the Recon Armor texture. This version removes the green hue to the metal and also darkens it, but I went through and repainted highlights on 'worn' areas to retain realistic contrast. The metal is more matte in finished areas and still reflective in worn areas. The differences on the leather should be clear, so no need to explain the changes there.


INSTALLATION:

1. To apply the textures, you'll need to add the following file paths to your ArchiveInvalidation.txt file:
- Textures/Armor/Bosunderarmor/outfitf.dds
- Textures/Armor/Bosunderarmor/outfitf_n.dds

2. Put the files outfitf.dds and outfitf_n.dds into the correct folder within your Fallout 3 folder. The file path should look like:
- Data\Textures\Armor\Bosunderarmor\files go in here.

3. Make sure that your FALLOUT.ini is set to invalidate older files. To do this go into the FALLOUT.ini file located in the MyDocuments\MyGames\Fallout3 folder and set the line of code that reads
- bInvalidateOlderFiles=0
to the following:
- bInvalidateOlderFiles=1


DISCLAIMER:

Send me a PM or an e-mail at [email protected] if you want to use these textures for anything other than your personal use (i.e. for a modification of your own).
