Or is it a mesh? I'm not well versed in the difference between Textures and Meshes, but maybe I should be calling it a mesh instead. (Honestly I don't know which of the terms is the right one to use.) I just wished the visor to glow like it does for the male version, and that texture/mesh is just outright missing.

It could be a bit of both. Your description and image are just what the developers will need to start troubleshooting the issue.

That drop down menu, You are amazing <3Going to try the file out now, hopefully this fixes the issue and doesn't just paint over it. If it does return the visor mesh/texture, I'll accept this is a solution
Excellent. Hopefully they'll be able to squeak an official fix for this into a future update.
Unfortunately it was as I feared, the Black Blood Dragon armor misc. file doesn't actually fix the issue, it's just the underneath texture that's been brightened up to burn your retinas off brightness. Plus it also makes the armor darker even though the file says that all it does is change the visor, thought that's not really important. https://imgur.com/7OwrGe0
I like your optimism on it getting fixed though, maybe it actually will. Thanks anyways
I did a bit of research and I think the issue is with the model and not the textures. The Blood Dragon Helmet models (male & female) use the same textures and after examining them I couldn't find any errors. I suspect that there is a reference error in the female model's settings that's causing it to look at the armor texture instead of the helmet texture. In the image below the model should be using the top image, but instead it's using the bottom image (I've marked in yellow where the model is looking).
I don't even know how you did that, but it makes sense. Now if only there was a way to manually change it
I'm a texture modder. 😉
Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with ME models to create a mod that would at least temporarily fix this issue (while we wait for a patch).
How did you do that :0
It is not that complicated.
After what @sundance31us said about the Model I had a look at the files myself and noticed that there are 3 different Meshes of the Armor in the game files.
So I replaced the Mesh that is used with another one. (I could not use the "Remastered" version it had too many bones, but the second version worked and I see no difference to the Mesh that is used.
Care to try?
Show me your ways :0

Yes, please.
Edit Note: The only models I've messed with were from Bethesda games. Though I have made a rather pathetic donut in Blender.
I published a mod at the Nexus so doing this by hand is not longer necessary.

If you don't have it already, go to the Nexus and download the "ME3Tweaks Mod Manager" found in this post.
That's it.
Edited so that nobody needs to download a file from the internet but can use the original game files.
Click on "Database" in the Asset Database menu > choose LE2 > Confirm the creation of the DB.
Sorry, forgot about that.
Thank you for this, not only for creating the file, but also for being specific in your directions. I accept this as my solution. <3 https://imgur.com/cz6dMQu
Thank you for figuring out it was an issue with the model, I never would have known what I was doing on my own. <3
I kept looking at the Array Elements trying to figure out which one was looking at the wrong file. Had both the male and female models up trying to compare them, but I wasn't able to figure it out.
Yeah, looks good. 🙂
You're welcome!
Yes, I did that too, but couldn't find the culprit either.
Still relearning many stuff from the old days. 😉

Same here. Think I've broken something everyday....yesterday it was the Ajax armor (modded into ME2). LOL Had it looking like a glow stick.

@holger1405
Sorry for such a late reply. I just got to thinking about that a few days ago and thought I'd google it, then I found your mod. I'm glad to see it's been made easier for people to do it themselves. Unfortunate about console users though. I'm still befuddled that this issue still exists in the game.
