Hello,
I'm having a very similar issue to the ones described above. I am using Seikan's Armor and a custom player head mod (Kira Carsen). When the player character is equipped with these armors, they appear transparent when the .2a file is set to "DEFAULT". When I change the file to "CM_Baremetal" the armor is no longer transparent and has a gloss effect which is good. However, my player's hair suddenly becomes full of metallic glowing edges.
If there is anyway to keep the solid armor, and not have glowing hair, please let me know. Thank you.
