Okay, here's my request. I'm sick and tired of the plate armor always looking like stone, plastic, or chocolate. So first I want a plate armor that looks like it's actually made out of metal as it's supposed to be. Second I really don't care for the cloth on the plate armors. Seriously, in a real fight those places would be major weak points. So I'd like the metal armor to have either mail to replace the cloth, or more plates. If someone could fulfill this request, I would really appreciate it.

This is just a retexture, but is it something you would want?

You could also change the reflection map to something a bit duller

Yes that looks awesome. But would it be possible to make it all shine, but not so excessively as it does with Archon's battle armor?

Open the graphics.big mesh entry, switch to the materials tab, select a submesh, assign 26 for a spec map, 0 for bump map, 5 for MaxTextureLayers, click Apply at the bottom, click Apply at the top, repeat for each submesh.

I attached a mergable big that applies to the Neutral Plate Suit, do what Stranger said to change the shine.

Okay I've got a problem with the big jwc posted. I tried merging that BIG file with my textures.big but, it caused FE to freeze.(Please note that on this and the following instance I gave FE several minutes to load but it just became a flat out non-responsive program.) So, after that I tried loading it into FE through File/Open so maybe I could find the problem in there. I got the same thing. Also there were no error messages at all with it. It just froze once it tried to load the BIG.If someone could please sort this out for me, or if jwc would be willing to pm me with the files he used to replace those textures, I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely with cookies and uber sprinkles,
Asm.

Sometimes it happens that Fable Explorer freezes during the loading
of a fmp, big or anything else. Please give it some time before
saying that it froze.

I gave it ten minutes with both methods, oni. Maybe as far as twenty. I don't wait just two seconds and say it froze. I like being thorough. I'm sorry if the previous statements seemed rude, but frankly I'm blunt and try to cut to the chase as quickly as possible in conversation. Modding however, If something goes wrong, I double check, and wear out every last option that comes to mind before posting on the forums. So yeah... I'm POSITIVE it froze.

I downloaded and tested the big, it worked fine and the game started in less than 2 minutes. Have you gotten any other bigs to work?
If you have Vista or 7 it could be that you need to take ownership of the textures.big file. I have read that it is something like that sometimes with those O/S's, I'm not qualified to answer questions about them though.
I uploaded the bmps so you can apply them manually if you want to go that route.

Get the bmps here:

And remember, change Alpha to 0 after you load the texture.

I know. But anyway I tried it and it works now! Now if I could just get the metal look thing you told me to do to work.

Please check the time stamps before posting. This thread has been dead for about two years. Thanks Smile! Considering you live in Argentina....

EDIT: Google translate is horrendous so i had to use some of my Spanish "knowledge" to fix it up a bit. It probably still has some errors...

He was referring to the rule that tells you to make a new thread in General Mod Discussion to ask your question.
What helmet are you talking about?
How do you want the helmet to be be recolored?
With chainmail look, or just the same color as the plate?

can you put the retext for me?? Embarassed

Here is a link to 3 recolors of the horned helmet:
https://www.box.com/s/18f15ce36d55d64cfe83
The folder has dark, medium, and light gray bmps and pngs. Decide which you like and apply it manually.

Png is same quality, handles most things better, and has a smaller file size.
