alex2399 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I would like to know how to make the daedric armor look like the ebony armor. Could someone just explain how to swap the textures? Thanks Edited November 23, 2011 by alex2399 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesside0yes Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I would like to know how to make the daedric armor look like the ebony armor. Could someone just explain how to swap the textures? Thanks Well you could just swap textures by copying the ebony armor's .DDS files and renaming them to whatever name is given to the texture files for daedric armor but more then likely the outcome will be of very poor quality, I.E. stretching, seams and bare / transparant patches. No if you want to do it good you have to take the time to retexture the armor in a texture program like gimp or photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampanaAliquanta Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Presumably you could just swap the meshes too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2399 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I tried renaming the files and it didn't change a thing. I think i didn't express myself clear, all i want is the ebony armor to be the daedric and vice versa, not to apply the textures of the ebony to the daedric.

alex2399 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 What i did is to download the gold ebony armor below and rename it exactly like the daedric armor but it changed nothing. http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=549&navtag=file/images.php?id=549&tab=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Just swapping the texture would NOT work. The UVW set is different per model. And for your question: Perhas wait a few days for the CK? Then it should be a simple click or two. As of now, I do not know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

person123456789 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 u could just extract the meshes.bsa , put the extracted meshes folder in ur skyrim/data folder, navigate to data/meshes/armor/ebony, open another windows explorer and navigate to data/meshes/armor/daedric (not sure if the daedric folder is named that), compare the files in the 2 folders, copy the files from the ebony folder somewhere, rename and paste it over the daedric stuff. I know this works caz ive done it for quite a few of the armors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentPaper Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Why not just increase the armor value of Ebony to match Daedric? Though even that isn't really necessary. If you've got enough armor rating (567 displayed) then you're at the max damage reduction anyways, and increasing it further doesn't do anything. You can reach those levels of protection with plate armor if you're a good enough smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
