About this mod

A retexture of the Colossus armor with a darker shade of red. Goes well with the Spectre gear.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This is a simple retexture of the Colossus armor (L/M/H versions, human only) with a darker shade of red. There's also an optional .upk file that changes the helmet's colors too so that it matches the armor.

Installation:
1) Backup your game files. Afaik it's really important when modding ME so I highly recommend you to copy your Binaries, BioGame and DLC folders somewhere. This mod in particular, when fully installed, should alter the following files:

\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanFemale\BIOG_HMF_ARM_HVY_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanFemale\BIOG_HMF_ARM_LGT_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanFemale\BIOG_HMF_ARM_MED_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanMale\BIOG_HMM_ARM_HVY_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanMale\BIOG_HMM_ARM_LGT_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanMale\BIOG_HMM_ARM_MED_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\GameObjects\Characters\Humanoids\HumanMale\BIOG_HMM_HGR_HVY_R.upk
\BioGame\CookedPC\Maps\STA\DSG\BIOA_STA60_06_DSG.SFM

so if you don't want to backup the whole BioGame folder, copy these files somewhere before continuing. 

2) (Optional) The helmet's textures can be installed by simply dropping the CookedPC folder into the game's BioGame folder then overwriting the .upk file.

3) Main textures are inside the .tpf file and can be installed with either ALOT Installer, TexMod or ME3Explorer. My tip is to install the textures at least 2-3 times, otherwise there will be glitches.
