Name: Diano Armor for BAB
Version: 1.0

Category: Armor

Description
===========
The Diano Armor by NPR / Kurese modified to fit the BAB body, 3 colors, light and heavy version, optional meshes.
The original readme was not so clear, so you'll have 2 chests: one contains all the Heavy and Light armors (one-piece armor) in all colors, plus the greaves as standalone piece in 3 colors.
In another nearby chest you'll find a collection of Horns and 2 types of boots. Since I found these things in the original mod, I left them in their place.
For the optional meshes see below.


Location
========

The Armor is located in a chest near the entrance to the IC Arena, see screenshot.

Incompatibility
===============
You can't use this mod together with the original armor for HGEC since it uses the same file paths.
Otherwise there should be no issues.


Known Issues or Bugs
====================

The armor has been tested for clipping against standard poses (walking, sneaking, fighting, running), but NOT TESTED against more "extreme" poses now available through various pose mods. In this case some clipping may be seen.
There is a minor clipping on the front left leg while sneaking in LIGHT armor, I'm sorry but at present my (low) skills didn't allow me to cope with that.


Optional Alternative Mesh
=========================

the armor is fitted with a sort of "garter" that can barely be seen in the Heavy version, but is evident in the light version: since it is the major culprit for the clipping while sneaking, and since I think it has got nothing to do with an "armor", I made an alternative Mesh for the light version that removes it.
If you think to give it a try, simply open the folder(s)

..Data\Meshes\DIANO\2\RED
..Data\Meshes\DIANO\2\blue
..Data\Meshes\DIANO\2\grey

and rename light.nif (the standard light armor) in lightOLD.nif
then rename light2.nif (the alt mesh) in light.nif

you can do this for all 3 colors or just one for a try.
to get things back to standard rename light.nif to light2.nif and lightOLD.nif to light.nif
