[RELz] Azura Creature and Statue Replacer

Post » Sun May 01, 2011 4:10 pm

Here is a simple (at least in design) release from me that replaces
the Azura Creature and Statues with updated versions
that reflect the current nature of player character while
also appearing more Goddess-like (rather than grand motherly :bigsmile: ).


*****************************************************************

The Elder Scrolls III
MORROWIND:
Westly's Azura Creature
& Statue Replacer

*****************************************************************

Index:
1. Installation
2. Playing the Plugin
3. Save Games
4. Changing the Face of an Existing Character
5. Credits & Usage




*****************************************************************

INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************
Manual Installation:

Just drag and drop these onto the data files folder in your Morrowind
directory and they will go where they are meant to go (except the readme).
All the files are placed inside folders as marked. In other words,
place the included Meshes and Textures folder in your games Data Files
folder.

(become familiar with manual installations, your game will thank you for it)

The included Screen Shots folder is just for your use (so as to
know what the changes look like). It is not needed for play.

Also included in this mod is a folder labeled "XTRAS"
Inside this folder are the optional files for alternate
statues:

-Folder 1- A Rusty Purple/Red Statue (akin to the original colouring
of the Daedric Prince Statues)

-Folder 2- A Shiny Silver Reflection Mapped Statue

-Folder 3= A Shiny Gold Reflection Mapped Statue

To install one of these is the same as above, as inside each of these
folders is a Meshes folder that contains the proper files to replace the
in game statue. Pick a folder (1,2, or3) and open it. Then take the
Meshes folder therin and place it in your games Data Files folder.
You will be promted to overwrite (should you do this correctly).
Once you do, the alternate statue will be ready for your viewing pleasure
in game :).

*****************************************************************

CREDITS & USAGE

*****************************************************************

New head mesh by Rhedd, modified by Robert, then modified by Westly

New hair mesh by Gorg (for the long haired goddess look)

Textures by Westly (hair, face, body, all statue textures, modified
Bethesda textures for Azura's Robe)


These models and textures are essentially a resource, but I do ask that
credit be given to the proper authors and that you contact me if you are
going to use these (as I may be able to help you out with your own project
to make it more unique than what I have included in this mod ).

ENJOY!

(For other deity replacers I recommend Psymonier's BB vivec God Replacer and sixy Almalexy by Qarl :) )

Looks neat. I really like the statue. Azura reminds me of Deanna Troi. Cool.

You're just going to keep on surprising us, aren't you?!
Now Azura really looks like a deity! ^_^

Please re-do Almalexia! Qarl's only modifies the face, and I want the boy different, too :(

Excellent. I think this is going to be one of those small but essential tweaks.

You have me really confused as you compliment me and then
you say that you are not going to use this in a way that feels
a bit, well, demeaning? I was working with Psymoniser on a BB
version of Azura. He is absent right now, so I thought that I would
release this to improve her as much as I could. The player
sees her so very little, though, that what her body looks like
is a bit inconsequential (as she is covered by her robe).
When Psymoniser comes back, then we can resume the
BB version.

Again, you really have me confused :huh: .

I have updated the first post with a new link that has
three additional alternate versions of the Azura Statue:

...-_- I'm really sorry if I didn't get that across right. English isn't my first language... What I wanted to say was that I AM going to use it even without you adding BB because I already like it as it is, just that it would be even better with BB. In no way did I mean to be demeaning.
But I said "Not that I'm not"...doesn't the double negation mean that I WILL?
Have to dig out my old grammar book now because I was sure that it works that way.

Well, it does technically mean that, but it's an uncommon way to say it.
Also people very often use double negatives in common speak, where they should use a single negative, so it's easy to read what you said the other way.

I read it the same way that Westly did originally.

No you are right, it is just late here and I did not read your post correctly, and for that I must apologise.
It is better not to use double negatives, though, save for conversation (unless you are going for a bit of literary trickery).
"I will use this either way" would have been a more direct and affirmed statement.

Take Care :wave:

Lol you're right, he didn't see the double negative. Nothing wrong with double negatives! ....is there?

And who wouldn't use this mod?
Good ole semi-classic Azura. Next we need her Chimer-ish and topless! Yes...topless... :D

Your link to the gold version is the same as the silver, so instead of seeing gold we're seeing more silver. This is what you wanted... ;)

Anyway, beautiful work Westly. I love it when deities actually look divine. :D

Phew ^_^
Ok then, thanks for the tip. Sometimes I still write english as if I was typing german (where double negatives aren't uncommon but you try as hard as you possibly can to avoid starting a sentence with I ^_^).

Does this replace the big statue outside Azura's temple too or only one in the shrine?

Sure you can :).
But if you want, you can tell me what kind of statue you want (texture and mesh wise),
and maybe I can cobble it for you :) ?

They use the same mesh, so both are replaced (as shown by my inside and outside screens)

Well I'd like to have statues of the three 'good' daedra around the city. Having variations of them would be wonderful. I've already retextured the original Azura statue, and made a few variations (as seen in my daedric statue variation pack), but I really like this one you've just made. I think I'll use it in conjunction with the others.

What would be perfect would be Azura, Mephala and Boethiah in various poses, with some broken/ruined variations as well.

But you are a busy guy my friend ;) I can do without at the moment. Keep working on your other stuff so we can get it!! :lol:
