==============================Description==============================

This is a darker version of the dragonscale armor, designed to fit in with the vanilla textures of the game while giving a better look to Thieves, Assassins, Archers and other stealthy characters.

Differences from Vanilla
- Tips of horns are more white, less yellow, like they were sharpened or worn from use.
- Scales have been color corrected from a beige to a darker tone.
- The bicep scale of the female armor is blended into the arm better.
- All leather is black instead of brown.
- Helmet, Armor, Hands, Feet, and Shield included.

Differences from gamerigirl109 (Thank You!)
- Specular is toned down
- Normals have a more rounded feel
- Color tweaked to match the scales on the armor



=======================Installation/Uninstallation=======================

For the hooded version, you will first need to download and install the meshes from this mod by gamergirl109.

Please endorse her mod!

When installing mine, overwrite all files.
To install the version with the helmet, you will need to make sure no leftovers are installed from the hooded version. These leftover files would be any meshes or textures for the dragonscale helmet.

This is a replacer mod. If you use the hooded version, your dragonscale helmet will be a hood.

To Uninstall, remove these files:

Data\textures\armor\dragonscale\
- armor.dds
- armorf.dds
- helmet.dds
- boots.dds
- shield.dds
- gloves.dds

For the hooded version, removes these files as well:

Data\textures\armor\dragonscale\
- helmet_m.dds

Note: Due to other engagements (and other games) I do not plan on updating this or any of my other mods, indefinitely. At a later date, my interest in Skyrim may come back but until then, please do not leave impatient comments about updates or fixes.
