About this mod

A fix and alternate look for the unique armour from ME1 Recalibrated.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
ME1 Recalibrated is an essential mod but I always had problems with Kaidan's unique Bastion Armor, this fixes it and changes the look to something based on Predator Armor I made, so now the helmet matches. I also fixed some stuff with the base texture which is from ALOT.

Issues I had were the armour always got installed even if I chose not to (can't fix that) and it was very glitchy in game. First the lights would stop working, then it would change to vanilla Onyx Armor which was really distracting. That happened upon entering every new area and could only be fixed by loading a save, if you have the same problem then here are two potential fixes. You can either download this mod which seems to have fixed it for me after a while testing, or if you prefer the look of Kaidan's ME2 Bastion Armor, you can try changing the size of the SPwr texture which for me at least turned out to be the problem.

I had success using all 4k textures, and with the SPwr at 512kx512 which is what I'm using now. As soon as I tried it at vanilla resolution it was messed up again. Don't worry if you use a 2k texture cap, it will still work.

Install procedure for this is a little different than usual because you can't put these in a MEM file, open MassEffectModder and click on textures manager under ME1, find BIOG_HMM_ARM_KDN_R then within that look for the three textures with KDN in the names. Finally right-click each one and choose replace texture. If you want to keep the default look then just extract the SPwr as dds and resize then reinstall.
