Looking to make some Dissedent Ordinators

[KingFeraligatr]

This is a personal project I've long since wanted to tackle for a LONG time. I basically thought it'd make sense if the Ordinators had some of their people break off from their ranks to join the Dissident Priests. The main thing that got in the way was the lack of an alternate Ordinator armor for them. I thought they'd want some alternate armor to differentiate them from the regular Ordinators. Does anyone know any place for a rextured, lore friendly, vanilla style Ordinator armor? All I need is for the model, mesh, textures, etc. to be set up. I'm sure I can do all the CS work needed.

Any help in this would be appreciated.

I do not know of any preexisting mod, but depending on what changes you want for the ordinator armor, it could be done relatively easy. If a, say, more reddish tone would suffice, I could provide you with the files. If you want something more fancy, I could place the textures (you would have to provide) on the mesh if you like.

The images I have in my head have greenish areas (though not all green) on their armor (and it's inferior to normal Ordinator armor) for some reason. If you could do the texture and mesh work and have it ready for CS work, that'd be nice. I would have done this project a long time ago time ago if I was any good at modeling, meshing, and texturing (I focus on NPCs and creatures predominantly instead.... And all in the CS). Thank you if you decide to do the mesh work and I can provide any textures or meshes you might need (might take a while though, as I have search through the BSAs. Never got all the models, textures, etc.). I'm afraid I can't actually work on the models and textures themselves though. Tell me if you have an questions.

Well, the armor retextures are plentiful, there were a few for that one too. You can also do it yourself, really; what keeps you from using the same meshes the original armor uses and just editing a texture the way you want in an editor, then simply changing the path to the texture (your edited copies) in those mesh files? I think NifSkope was an easy one to use for such a thing.

I'm really not that good at texture editing, otherwise I could have done that part by myself. Thanks for the suggestion at least.

[Marisa Kirisame]

Umm, is it really something that complex you want, or just making part of the original textures change their hue?

[SarthesArai]

I'm not that skilled either, but shifting the hue of the textures or parts (I use paint.net for that), and setting a new texture path in nifskope should suffice.
Here is an image of a retexture of the ordinator armor I once did.

I use paint.NET too! Let's be friends!

Great, texture work ..... Anyone know where this software is located? All I have for image editing is GIMP, and doesn't like .dds files.

There's an add-on for GIMP to accept .dds-files, but I couldn't get it to work...
