About this mod
Version of PAVE with only textures. No meshes, no esp. Should be compatible with any other PA mods. Works with vanilla meshes. Sadly, lacks mesh fixes, gloves and other features from original.

What this is?
Ultra-simplified version of PAVE that includes only textures with no meshes and esp. This ensures maximum compatibility.
Why it exists?
For people who want to see PAVE's visual brilliance in other PA mods without any additional patching. For example, type-bodies mesh replacers, or any mod that adds vanilla-looking PA with different stats, or changes stats on vanilla PAs — they will now display PAVE textures on them.
How is this different from original PAVE?
As a cut-down version, it lacks some cool features, notably: gloves, fixed and improved meshes, environment maps. Also, due to the way Bethesda implemented brahmin skull on Ashur's PA, it will use vanilla textures (which may be a good thing if you're using a retexture for it). That's all as far as I'm aware.
Upd: fix for Ashur's PA is in the optional files.
Compatibility:
Everything that doesn't touch the same textures — ✔
Mods that do touch same textures, but loaded before this mod — ✔
Mods that do touch same textures and loaded after this mod — You will get everything this mod provides + textures from other mod, which may be what you want, or may cause some miscoloring issues.
Original PAVE — ✔, you will get all the cool features from original, and ensure that PAs from other mods look more or less the same.
Requirements and installation:
You won't need any other mod or original PAVE, but you will need some form of archive invalidation. If you're using any modern mod manager like MO2, it got you covered. But if you don't, first of all, please do, and if not then this mod will do more harm than good without archive invalidation.
Also, safe to install and uninstall at any time, since it's just textures.
Notes:
Credits and thanks:
Strider5 — GOAT in PA textures, for original PAVE and permission to rearrange and modify it's files.
Sweet6Shooter — for Hazard PA mod with open permissions and at least half of my load order.

If you encounter any bugs, don't bother Strider, they are on me, so report them in bugs tab and I'll crush them.
I've included environment maps just in case anyone will make a mod that lets meshes use all textures with _n, _m, _em and other underscores by themselves like in Oblivion, so this mod will be compatible out-of-the-box. Highly doubt thats ever happening, but just in case.
Everything is fine with outcast recon armor.
