About this mod
Adds a glow texture to male ebony armor to make it look more like shardplate from the way of kings.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This is a simple texture/shader mod to add blue glowing runes to male and female versions of ebony armor, ebony mail armor, gloves, boots, and helmet to make then look more like shardplate from the stormlight archive. The screenshots came out kind of desaturated for some reason, it's actually more blue and glowy than it looks in the pics. Only really works in 3rd person for now, although I could probably mod the 1st person meshes too if there is interest.
Ebony armor rigfixes is required to fix some of the terrible rigging issues this armor shipped with, install this mod first

You can optionally install a version with no rig-fix dependency.
Ebony armor redone has some really nice high quality base textures, which I designed the original glowmaps to work with

The glowmaps all work fine with the original and HD textures from Bethesda as well.
Other mods active in some of the screenshots:
Ebony helmet with nightingale appearance

Nightingale prime, which appears to have been taken down?

V 1.2 update:
Added glow maps to female and male Ebony Mail armor
Added an experimental non-replacer for Ebony armor. In my very limited testing everything seems to work ok, but please backup your game first before using this version. I haven't done anything to make it craftable or findable in-game, so you'll need to use the console for now.

This should give you the item ID's for the new armor pieces. All stats are unchanged from the base ebony armor for now, and I haven't actually put actual enchantments on any of the armor pieces.
V 1.1 update:
Added glow map to ebony helmet
Added glow map to female ebony armor
Added an optional version which does not require the 'Armor And Other Rigfixes' in case you want a version with no dependencies instead. I strongly recommend using the rig-fix compatible version however, as the the rigging issues with the default female ebony armor are pretty major, and Madcat221 has done an amazing job fixing these issues with his mod.
