[TSL] Armor Class 4, 5 & 6 Remodel
=====================================================
Mod for Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords

1. DESCRIPTION:
This mod replaces the armor body models for classes 4, 5, and 6 in KotOR 2, giving them a more armored look. The original KotOR 1 models were made by Attackperson35. This mod adds the models to KotOR 2, including Bao-Dur variants.
Textures are sourced from Dark Hope's and Vurt's armor texture mods with small tweaks. The included textures are from those two mods combined - if you prefer a different look, you can install the models only and drop in textures from whatever.
Class 4 (Light Armor):
The shoulder pads from the original models have been kept. Shin guards, knee pads, and armguards have been removed - this is light armor, and the extra plating looked out of place on it.
Affects: Light Combat Suit, Combat Suit, Mandalorian Combat Suit, Zabrak Combat Suit, Echani Light Armor, Massassi Ceremonial Armor, Mandalorian Heavy Suit, Electromesh Suit, and any other armor sharing the class 4 body.
Class 5 (Medium Armor):
Includes shoulder pads, wrist guards, and shin guards.
Affects: Heavy Combat Suit, Bonadan Alloy Heavy Suit, Zabrak Battle Armor, Ubese Environmental Suit, Echani Shield Suit, Reinforced Fiber Armor, Zabrak Field Armor, Ulic Qel Droma's Mesh Suit, Armored Flight Suit, and any other armor sharing the class 5 body.
Class 6 (Medium Armor):
Includes shoulder pads, wrist guards, and shin guards.
Affects: Khoonda Militia Armor, Military Suit, Echani Battle Armor, Cinnagar War Suit, Sith Battle Suit, Verpine Fiber Mesh, Exar Kun's Light Battle Suit, Heavy Cinnagar War Suit, Verpine Fiber Ultramesh, and any other armor sharing the class 6 body.

2. INSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe and select your KotOR 2 game directory.
Each armor class has two installation options:
- Models: Installs new armor body models.
- Textures: Installs the included texture selection.
You can install models only, textures only, or both. Installing models without textures will use whatever textures you already have installed.
Double check that you do not have both an old .tga/.txi file pair AND a new .tpc file for the armor textures
If you do, one is going to take priority over the other. You can use Remove Duplicate TGA-TPC to accomplish this quickly.
A "backup" folder is created by the installer in the same directory. Don't delete it if you plan to uninstall later.
---
3. UNINSTALLATION:
Run Install.exe, select your KotOR 2 directory, and use the "Tools > uninstall/restore backup" option to revert all changes made by this mod.
---
4. KNOWN ISSUES:
None.
If you find any bugs or problems, please report them.

5. MOD COMPATIBILITY:
This mod replaces armor body models and their associated textures only. No 2da files, scripts, or dialogue are changed. Should be compatible with all other mods, including TSLRCM.
Models replaced:
- Class 4: PFBCL, PFBCM, PFBCS, PMBCL, PMBCM, PMBCS, BAODUR_BC
- Class 5: PFBDL, PFBDM, PFBDS, PMBDL, PMBDM, PMBDS, BAODUR_BD
- Class 6: PFBEL, PFBEM, PFBES, PMBEL, PMBEM, PMBES, BAODUR_BE
Any mod that replaces these same files will conflict.
Do not use the Steam Workshop for KotOR. It will almost certainly cause compatibility issues.
