  ok i made further tests.

  i first uninstalled the mod again with the dauninstaller, that seemed to have worked, all the files that should have gone where gone.
  i loaded DA and checked the installed content list, also here the mod is gone.

  i loaded the same savegame like before but still those pictures where grey, and i have to add something i forgot to mention, the helm of honleath and shale, all from the shale DLC where gone too, like they havent existed.
  i then also loaded an older savegame, with the same result.

  then i quit the game, opened the DAModder and restored the very first backup that was made when i installed the mod "Shade Leather Armour".
  Then i quit the damodder and started DA again and loaded the same savegame like the other times and there everything went back to normal, dlc shale and the helm of honleath back and also the itempics were not grey any more.

  then i decided to try out the "Shade Leather Armour" again but this time with the official daupdater, installed the .dazip with it, loaded the game and the same savegame.
  And all worked fine, no grey pictures, the items where there, shale where there.

  so it has to do with the installation with the DAModder, most likely with the edit of the AddIns.xml or the Manifest.xml. But i dont know enough about them to give a better explanation of what went wrong while manipulating them.

  i have added the addins bak that should contain the error most likely.

  funny thing, now i did a UNINSTALL of the Shade Leather Armour Mod with the DAModder that i installed with the daupdater (and not with the DAModder) and after the sucsessfull uninstall i loaded my game and the same savegame like all the time, and AGAIN all pictures went to grey from the DLC items and shale was gone and all.

  so that not only happens with the install but also with the uninstall of this mod with the DAModder. It dosent matter if you installed that mod with the DAModder or not.

  i added the AddIns.xml that contains the changes from the uninstall.
  squish that bug please =)

  • State changed from “new” to “open”

  This bug definitely appears to be more of the data corruption i've been seeing in certain cases. I thought i'd fixed it in Beta 1.3, but I just found another code path that could be causing it and fixed that path. I've also done a search through looking for this specific case, and I really think I got them all now.

  Look for this to hopefully be fixed in B1.4

  I can confirm (hooray) that this issue is completly gone with this mod.

  i tested the install and the uninstall, worked flawless.

  Excellent. Sounds like install/uninstall is pretty solid now.
