Fixed Gothic 2 Armors

Some time ago I released a patch in the Steam Workshop that fixes many Gothic 1 armor models. Now there is finally a patch that does the same with Gothic 2 armors!

What exactly does this patch do?

Many inventory models of the armor in Gothic 2 were created by Piranha Bytes with little love. Some of these models just look very unattractive, some use wrong textures or have none at all and use the standard Gothic texture, because they were just taken over 1:1 from Gothic 1 and the textures only exist under completely different names in the second part. Others were just copied from other armors without any adjustments, for example the new pirate armors in NotR use the same inventory models that the Gothic 1 shadow armors use, even with the same textures.

This patch takes care of those problems. Almost all armor inventory models have either been reworked or completely replaced with new models.
But that's not all! Have you ever noticed that Lester wears the heavy novice armor in Gothic 2, even though he only had the light novice armor all the time in Gothic 1? Now he's wearing his original armor again! Even with a fixed texture, from which the black stain and the strange looking belt have been removed from his left shoulder. The only downside to this change is that Fortuno in Jharkendar is now also wearing the light novice armor, even though he had the heavy novice armor in Gothic 1. Unfortunately I can't change that without changing the scripts and that would mean that I would have to release the complete patch as a script patch or as a complete modification and I think that wouldn't make so much sense just because of such a small detail. But at least I find it less unattractive than if Lester suddenly wears a different, higher armor, especially since it would be easier to explain that an armor is missing a shoulder plate.

This patch should be compatible with all mods that don't change the filenames of these files.

There is also a patch for Gothic 1 that fixes that game's armor.

Credits for the new texture of Lester's armor go to the GRP-Team.
