"Rebirth" of Road Warrior Armor Retexture

[KwiliBadness]

Hello friends!

 

 

I hope you all are still enjoying yourselves in the Mojave as I am, despite how "outdated" it's become. You can't keep a good game down!

 

I have but one simple request, and due to my inexperience in modding I can only hope that someone will come to the rescue.

I've just started using the Road Warrior Armor, the original by toxa01 and ported into New Vegas by Cahir Mawr Dyffryn. Everything seems to be fine with it and I do enjoy the Mad Max reference, but the colors are a bit too "fresh" for my taste.

I wanted something a little more faded, and I was rather displeased after finding out the straps, buckles and knee guard ALL matched the colors of either the jacket or pants. This bothered me, for some unknown reason. After coincidentally stumbling into this retexture mod by TheShirsh, I thought the little demon in my head had been silenced and I could continue my repetitious late-night downloading. But alas! No file.

 

 

The question is, can anyone do this?

 

 

Apparently it has been done before (^reference above^) but I don't think the owner realizes there isn't a file to download. The fact that it hasn't been updated since 2011 shows me that it's probably been forgotten.Which is totally cool with me, I mean.. We can't all have a life can we?

 

If anyone does answer and decides to re-awaken this almost-finished mod, I hope that it can work with the female version of the armor, as I am a girl and normally play female characters.

 

Here are some pictures to show entirely what I'm talking about:

Before and After:

Faded the darker black jacket and added individual colors for buckles, straps, holster and knee guard.

From behind:

Changed the belt pouches from the same color as the pants to a light brown or tan.

As much as I would like to work the mod magic so many of you have mastered, I lack your prodigious skill.

 

So help me out, will ya?

From a modding standpoint, it's not a particularly hard mod to do.

 

However, the main issue is permissions: You need to get toxa01 and Cahir Mawr Dyffryn's permission to do this mod on the Nexus. However, toxa1 was banned years ago for uploading copyrighted content so you may not be able to get his permission. Nor would getting Cahir Mawr Dyffryn's permission to do the mod would be sufficient since mod permissions don't continually transfer from person to person. What you could probably do is ask Cahir Mawr Dyffyrn to do what you asking for since Cahir Mawr Dyffryn still has toxa1's original permission to do the mod. That';s a long shot as well since Cahir may not have the will, time, skill, or experience to do what you're asking for.
