This is my first time making something for Atramentum Luminis, so please dont expect perfection ^^;

For this mod to work as intended, please have the following mods installed
Any Bibo+ based body (Bibo, Tre, Lithe, YAB etc)
Atramentum Luminis by Nylfae (Needed for glow effect from shaders + Mat A (Vanilla) to work)
Neck Connector Fix by Yuria (Solves issues with neck seams for Au Ra scales)
Improved Au Ra Tail by Westlaketea (Not actually needed and still works with vanilla tail 4, but textures were made with this mod in mind)

-----------------------------------

This was made through a learning project of mine on how to make stuff work with Atramentum Luminis.
It is my first time working with it so it is by no means perfect and was made through trial and error!

I've tried my best to try test everything, but due to the scale of the mod with the amount of options and combinations available, there will likely be mistakes made.
If you do find anything, please do contact me on my Twitter @elsie_xiv and I will try my best to see if I can fix the issue ^^

-----------------------------------

Overlays only includes Bibo+ textures.
However, by using AL magic, they are also working on vanilla body.
Please make sure to disable "Use Bibo+ textures for Mat A" in Atramentum Luminis if you want to use this for vanilla.
(If it's active it overrides the shader settings included in this mod; if scales glow white no matter what shader setting, then this is likely the issue)

Au Ra Facescales and Horns will not work automatically with any sculpt or makeup you might be using.
This is because they affect the same texture and will override eachother.
Manual texture editing will have to be made to make this work together.

Does NOT work for Gen 3 textures.
Any gear using Gen 3 body textures will not display the scales.

-----------------------------------

Overlays are available as an optional download at the modpage.
Please do note that it's not super beginner-friendly for making custom edits!
For texture edit you would have to at least know how to transfer alpha channels if you want to make custom color edits to work with the same glow.
You can also edit shader material parameters for any kind of glow and hue look you want.
