Doing a simple(?) retexture (GIMP-related)

[tinylampe]

Hello there,

 

I have found several helmets that have been retextured to look worn-out. I'd love to have a full armor set with the same rusty look but it seems that only the helmets were retextured.

 

Coud it be possible with GIMP to somehow import to color palette from to retextured helmets and then use it to modifiy the color palette of the vanilla cuirasses, greaves etc?

 

To clarify below I attach two pictures. The first one is a retexture of a mithril helmet. The second one is a vanilla miithril cuirass. I would like the cuirass to look like the helmet.

 

Thanks for any advice!

I think that if you only retextured the helmet, its not gooing to automatically translate to the other pieces. You are going to have to use the same etting changes you used on the helmet on the cuirass , changing parts where appropirate, to change the cuirass. Now if the armor pieces were all on the same texture map, then thats a different story and the changes should have affected all of them. Hope this helps^^.

No I did not retexture the helmet. I got this retexture from the bsa file of Martigen Monsters Mod. Of course one option would be to edit the cuirass, greaves etc until I get a result that is more or less similar to the helmet. However, succeeding would be at best unlikely since I'm not familiar with GIMP (or other similar programs) at all. That's why I was asking if there is a simple method to copy the color palette from the helmet and 'import' it to the cuirass. Does such method exist?

 

Thanks.
