DaC - Golden Armour for Lindon

[LavaCreeper]

This mod simply retextures (recolours would be more precise) Lindon's Eldarinwë armor to gold instead of silver. I think that gold looks much nicer on the Eldarinwë . Also, I fixed some compression artifacts on a few textures that were saved in DXT1 format. They're now in DXT5, with less compression artifacts. Not sure if the improvement is visible in-game, but I felt bad for these textures, so I fixed them^^.

To install, overwrite your Third_Age_3 folder with the one provided in the archive.

Please note, this is more a quick hack made for my own enjoyment than a complete and thorough replacement. I haven't changed sprites and LODs, for example. Since people have asked for it, I'm releasing it nonetheless.

When you say: "To install, overwrite your Third_Age_3 folder with the one provided in the archive.".. does that mean that the folder, where DaC is installed, and where your files must go, must be named Third_Age_3?

I am asking since some users have a different name for that folder.

I wasn't aware of that, it seems like doing that is overcomplicating things^^. If the mod folder name is different, I suppose you would simply copy the content of my Third_Age_3 folder into your renamed folder.

Can you make Imladris' Eldarinwe have silver armor with the red skirt and blue cape? That way all of their professional units look uniform?

If not, how do you do that?

You have to find their textures in the game files (should be in the same folder as the Eldarinwë I recolored), then simply convert from .texture to .dds (search for texture2dds) and recolor the parts you want using Photoshop or any editor that supports .dds files.
