Description:
Legion Armor Replacer Project alters the default Imperial Legion armor design and gives it a Romanesque appearance. Imperial armors no longer fully cover its Legion soldiers in plate and chainmail.
Cloth or leather pieces are now incorporated into certain armor pieces. Some armor also show more skin. Even with these changes, the original flavor of the armor remains.
Armor and cloth meshes are all based on Robert's Male Outfit Replacer and TGND stock armor/clothing replacer.
Female cuirass version 2 meshes are based on TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch.
The standard Imperial Legion armor makes use of DagothBalls' Ethereal: Armor Imperial Legion Edition textures.
Body parts and skin and underwear textures are from Robert's Male Body AND Outfit Replacer (males) and TGND (females).
NOTE: The body parts for the male armors are from the Muscular Athletic body variant and are very similar to Muscular and Average body parts.
The Imperial Dragon helmet texture and cloth textures are made by Bethesda, slightly modified by me.
The Imperial Watch gauntlet textures are from Imperial Watch Armor Playable w/fixed gauntlet textures by el_giacomo.
All other armors use default textures.

Manual Install-
Place the meshes and textures folders into your Oblivion\Data folder.
If prompted to overwrite, click "Yes" or "Yes to all".
The new files should be available in the folders listed above.
There should also be a folder called zenzen inside the Textures folder (path should be Textures\zenzen). These hold the custom textures for some of the armor.
OBMM Install-
Place the .OMOD into your obmm\mods folder.
Open OBMM and locate Legion Armor Replacer Project. Activate the .OMOD.
The files should be automatically extracted into the folders mentioned above.
NOTE: There is NO .esp as this replacer only affects the meshes in the folders mentioned above.
Uninstallation:
Manual-
Delete the following files: boots.nif, boots_gnd.nif, cuirass.nif, cuirass_gnd.nif, gauntlets.nif, gauntlets_gnd.nif, greaves.nif, greaves_gnd.nif, helmet.egm, helmet.nif, helmet_gnd.nif
when found in the following folders:
Meshes\armor\imperialpalace\m (or f)
Meshes\armor\imperialwatch\m (or f)
Meshes\armor\legion
Meshes\armor\legion\m (or f)
Meshes\armor\legiondragon\m (or f)
Meshes\armor\legionhorseback
Also delete the following folder from the Textures folder:
Textures\zenzen
OBMM-
Open OBMM and locate Legion Armor Replacer Project. Deactivate the .OMOD.
The files should be automatically deleted from the folders mentioned above.
Incompatibilities/ Known Issues:
Clipping - The arms will have the most clipping issues since the short sleeves are loose and do not taper around the upper arm. I have tried my best to keep the sleeve loose but narrow enough without making it skin-tight. The sleeves will clip onto the sides of the cuirass chestplate.
Mesh Normals - Some armor pieces (especially crested helmets) will have weird lighting effects when facing a light source. I would fix them immediately if I could but my experience with Blender (or 3d modelling in general) are quite limited. Help regarding fixing mesh normals would be greatly appreciated.
