DESCRIPTION
This is a 4096x4096 retexture for the female Armax Arsenal Arena armor from the Citadel DLC, done in the style of the N7 Shadow armor. This will replace all 3 variants of the Armax armor (Nightmare, Spirit, and Shade) as they share a common texture. It features detailed and bronzed bolts and screws, defined body sheathing, detailed and darkened gloves, a bright-gold visor, a carefully-ruled N7 stripe along both sleeves custom-matched to the contour of the arm, and missing lights added to the neck, as well as updated 4K normal and specular maps.


REQUIREMENTS
As of now, I have released two versions of the mod: 

1. EGM Version: Points to the standalone Alliance-themed retextures added by the Alliance Armor Pack DLC. By virtue of the changes from the AAP, a helmetless version is available automatically. With this version, you can have two different retextures installed - one for the AAP standalone, and one for the original Armax Arena versions. EGM Version requires Citadel, EGM, and the AAP.
 
2. Standard Version: Points to the Armax Arena armor textures from the official Bioware DLC. It is possible to remove the helmet from the basegame armor, but it requires Coalesced edits which are beyond the scope of this retexture. An approximate guide for the Ajax armor is available here - just change out the lines for the relevant ones. Standard Version requires only Citadel.


FUTURE PLANS
Currently being updated with new tpfs and instructions as I return from an extended absence. I intend to release a male version as well, but feel free to leave feedback or requests. If you like it, please endorse!


CREDITS
This is based on a high-resolution release by Ottemis, who created the base 4k diffuse map and the normal and specular maps. My changes were merely tweaking color layouts, and some small updates to the emissives. All original credit goes to her fantastic work, the many variants of which can be found here.
