Alaisiagae Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I absolutely love the new color from Dark Green Glass Armor. However, this mod doesn't seem to fully function as a retexture: the SI glass armor (such as Cursed Pack Horse Boots, Cursed Insulated Shield) remain the vanilla green color, as well as the Gauntlets of the Manhunter from the DLC Thieve's Den. Additionally, the vanilla Oblivion Beveled Gauntlets also remain the lighter green color, even though spazizoner's new glass icon is used. Speaking of icons, the DLC content glass armor also does not use them. I would assume that DLC weapons also do not use the mod's darker green color and the mod's icons. Would someone be willing to update this mod so that the new textures would replace the old textures on all vanilla Oblivion and DLC content glass armors? I PMed the author of Shadowy Hoods a week or so ago, and have not recieved a reply, so I shall put my request to the community in general. I really like the effect from Shadowy Hoods. I also really like the Dark Brotherhood Hood Replacer. Needless to say, the Hood Replacer hood does not have the Shadowy effect. Would someone be willing to apply the Shadowy effect (a "transparent polygon" according to the readme) to the new DB hood? I don't know how difficult that would be, but if it isn't too much of a burden, would it be possible to also apply the shadow effect to the the hoods from the Extra Robe Pack? Thanks for taking the time to read this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Dark Glass armor doesn't replace vanilla texture(if you look at its directory structure, you can see it uses different directory name than vanilla glass textures/meshes), it redirect/reassign textures/meshes of glass equipments. So, if you want to make it replace vanilla glass texture fully, you should change all glass equipments of DLCs/Expansion, or copy the dark glass textures to \data\textures\armor\glass(I can say, latter is easier). Same to Oddbasket glass(though you cannot use two or more replacer at once). **Although, I prefer make them as separate sets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, all I have to do is move the armor and weapons folders out of DarkGlassArmor and into the meshes folder? And the Dark Glass Armour.esp is no longer needed, correct? Thank you for your help! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hygaard Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You could check out this mod that replaces the textures of the original glass armor and weapons: Darkness-Glass-Set Modification for Oblivion (All Languages)...Version 1.0...by Dirk Schüler...- Mail me with any bugs, suggestions, questions or comments - <[email protected]>..........History.....................Version 1.0: 01 April 2006 - Initial Release of Saphire Glass Set - Initial Release of Obsidian Glass Set Version 1.0: 05 April 2006 - Initial Release of Darkness Glass Set........................What does it do?================Replaces the Standart GREEN Glass Armour And Weapons with : Darkness-Glass-Set - This One makes the glass Parts have a BLACK Colour The Metal Parts get a bit of a blue touch. (This is for the Dark Brotherhood Sisters and Brothers) To see it , look at the Screenshots included.(Don't have Screens for Female's right now, only have one male high elf mage, you can post a picture of your female char with darkness set, like to see it...) It Replaces the Colour-Textures for ALL Glass Armors (m and f) and all GlassWeapons. .............................Installation......If you can Read this it means you have extracted the Rar Archive and will find following stuff : ?:\somewhereonyourhd\Darkness-Glass-Set Oblivion Directory - only there because its there\ArchiveInvalidation.txt TXT-.File - copy to your Oblivion Directory \Data Directory with textures- copy to your Oblivion Directory Darkness-Glass-Set_Back.jpg Picture of the Back both at Night and DayDarkness-Glass-Set_Front.jpg Picture of the Front both at Night and DayDarkness-Glass-Set_Side_Night Picture of the Side (Shield) at NightReadme.txt This File, burn it eat it , i would read it ;) 1. If you have already installed one of my other glass replacements, you will be happy to know, that they are compatible to each other. You only need to copy the new files over the old ones. You can also mix the different colours if you like. 1.1 To Make it simple,Copy the "DATA" Directory to your Oblivion Main Directory, then look if there is an "ArchiveInvalidation.TXT", if it's not, copy the file from my Set to your Oblivion Main Directory, if you have it already, go to Point 2 2.IF you Have already a "ArchiveValidation.txt" in your Oblibion Main Directory, open it and ad the following lines to it : textures/armor/glass/shield.ddstextures/armor/glass/m/boots.ddstextures/armor/glass/m/cuirass.ddstextures/armor/glass/m/gauntlet.ddstextures/armor/glass/m/greaves.ddstextures/armor/glass/m/helmet.ddstextures/armor/glass/f/cuirass.ddstextures/armor/glass/f/greaves.ddstextures/Weapons/glassbattleaxe.ddstextures/Weapons/glassclaymore.ddstextures/Weapons/glassmace.ddstextures/Weapons/glassquiver.dds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaisiagae Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well, turns out that my attempt to make it a retexture didn't really work. I had the meshes and textures folders that I described in my previous post, and I made the whole thing into an OMOD and activated it. However, when I equipped a piece of glass armor, such as a pair of greaves, the part of the body the armor covers became invisible! I deleted the meshes, and tried my butchered version of the mod ingame, but the retexture didn't work. I recently came across Kalikut's Green Glass Retex. It has an identical/similar shade of green to that of the Dark Green Glass Armour mod, and it works as a retexture for all glass items, including those items from DLC. I'm very satisfied with the mod, I'm glad I stumbled across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
