Let me start by saying that I got this idea after I installed Cleitanious's tintable armor mod and jester_vo1's Jester's Gear, and decided I wanted the game's regular full plate to be bright and shiny like Jester's full plate instead of dark and drab like it is. Also I'm a big enough geek that my Paladin of Helm just NEEDED something I could at least pretend was enchanted with "Everbright," like a good Helmie is supposed to.
Anyway, if you like this pack the real credit goes to those two. any complaints should come to me.
What Gets Replaced: the textures on what the toolset calls full plate chest variation 2, full plate helmet variation 7, and half plate helmet variation 9.
In the toolset it loads properly for both genders and all races, but I've only play-tested it with human characters.
It will appear in-game on any armor with "full plate" or "breastplate" in its name, plus the fighter's helmet and the helm of darkness.
Known issues: some of the items you'll see in the OC will now be very brightly colored. Some people might think this looks silly. More details in the readme.
So far it's obviously not the full set of armor variations, and I'd like to finish the other full plate sets sometime, and maybe even start on things like boots, bracers, shoulder pads, etc. I don't have the skills or patience to even think about trying this with scale or chain armors. I'll update this post if I add any, though.

I like it!
I hope to see more from you. _________________________ I believe in science and that science can explain everything,

yours was a lot better than mine, friend. Like I posted, I'm just nuts enough to need "everbright" for my Helmies. And nuts enough to post it here. _________________________ Lawful Good human Paladin

I'm happy to see my work wasn't for nothing. :-) _________________________ I believe in science and that science can explain everything,

Yeah, like I said, I was going for a look that could be described as "Everbright," which the "Faiths and Pantheons" book describes as a quality which can be added to armor with "Craft magic arms and armor" that makes metal shine as brightly as polished silver, and when you use white/white/white as the color scheme, you do end up with something very bright. Using a light grey as the base tones it down pretty well. _________________________ Lawful Good human Paladin

This looks prety good. The texture itself looks a little TOO bight if you ask me though. and it almost looks a bit blurry in the pictures where you can get a good look at the armor through the shine. I'll give this one a 7 because it a good start and worth a look for anyone. With a little more polish this could be a really cool mod.
