Black and Gold Elven Equipment with Masked Helm - Replacer Version

Simple retexure of elven armor and weapons, with the added bonus of a new helmet mesh. I made this mod mostly for myself, both as a learning experience and to replace the ugly vanilla elven armor textures with something my character wouldn't be ashamed to wear. Also included a fixed mesh for Elven warhammer, battleaxe, and Greatsword (NPC equipped and Dropped models), and "ElvenHelmetFix.esp" which fixes clipping issues with dark elf and wood elf ears.

The masked helmet shouldn't show clipping with most faces (extra long noses and chins, as well as orc mouths might be a problem) but will show clipping with most beards. If clipping is a big annoyance for you follow the optional install method for textures only or avoid this mod.

INSTALLATION:
-------------

First, if you have any other texture mods which affect elven armor and weapons, remove them.

Copy contents of zip file to your Skyrim Data folder.

Run the Skyrim launcher and make sure "ElvenHelmetFix.esp" is selected in the Data files list.

If you haven't enabled data files already the option will be greyed out. To enable data files go to to the folder "Users/*yourname*/My Documents/MyGames/Skyrim" and look for the file "SkyrimPrefs.ini". Open it and find the "[Launcher]" section. Under that section, put the line "bEnableFileSelection=1" and save the file. The option should no longer be greyed out.

--(OPTIONAL INSTALL)--

If you only want the textures and not the helmet, copy only the textures folder to your Skyrim Data folder, or delete the following files after installation:

Data\meshes\armor\elven\f\helmet_0.nif
Data\meshes\armor\elven\f\helmet_1.nif
Data\meshes\armor\elven\m\helmet_0.nif
Data\meshes\armor\elven\m\helmet_1.nif
Data\meshes\armor\elven\m\helmetorc_0.nif
Data\meshes\armor\elven\m\helmetorc_1.nif
Data\textures\armor\elven\facemask.dds
Data\textures\armor\elven\facemask_n.dds

If you only want the helmet, then copy only the files listed above.

If you would like to edit the texture of the helmet's mask, the helmet uses the textures "facemask.dds" and "facemask_n.dds" in the "Data\textures\armor\elven" folder.
