===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

This is my rendition of an old fashioned Gypsy caravan. It was primarily designed as a sort of house, but could be used as a traveling merchant or tinker's hut. It has a matching interior and comes with 14 different color choices.

This is a modder's resource only. It adds nothing to the game world.

===============
2. Requirements
===============

The included .esp requires MW, TB, and BM only because I was too lazy to remove the expansion dependencies. There is no scripting included, only models and textures.

========================
3. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
========================

The included .esp is set up to have the meshes in Meshes\kb\ and the textures in Textures\kb\. The meshes need the textures to be in that directory or they won't work.

=====================
4. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
=====================

The easiest way to add these to your mod is to merge the .esp with your own mod. You can also add them manually, but you'll need to pay attention to where the parts go so that everything works properly. The exteriors, interiors, hitches, and steps are regular statics. The doors are obviously doors, but all except the closet doors are set up to be load doors only. The closet doors are intended to swing open, and can be placed upside down to swing the other way without any issues. The cabinet doors and drawers are intended to be set up as containers for storage.

The van is designed to be very easy to edit in nifskope to change colors on most any part of it. There are 14 colors to choose from. Simply open the part you want to change in nifskope an choose the same type of file with the color you want the part to be. There are 4 textures for each color. 1 shingle texture, 1 wood texture, and 2 siding textures. There are 4 extra window textures included to add variety as well.

For the weathered and cherry versions, there are two different setups. Those with filenames ending in a "v" use the vanilla filenames for the textures and will be affected by the use of texture replacers. Those without the "v" use the original vanilla textures renamed so as to be unaffected.

===============
5. SAVE GAMES
===============

N/A

============================
6. CONFLICTS / KNOWN ERRORS
============================

As this is only a resource, there shouldn't be any conflicts with other mods. I would ask that if you modify the meshes or textures in any way that you rename them to avoid conflicts with other mods that use the original versions. The easiest way to do this is to replace my initials at the start of the filename with your own. Some of the filenames are right at the limit for the number of characters, so adding more characters will cause errors.


================================
7. CREDITS / PERMISSIONS RECEIVED
================================

The van uses some vanilla textures renamed to avoid being changed by replacers. Credit for those goes to Bethesda.
All other textures and all models are entirely my own work.

Special thanks to Jada and DonnerGott for beta testing.

And thanks to everyone at GHF for all of the ideas and support. Couldn't have done it without them.

8. CONTACT AND INFORMATION
==========================

I can be reached at GHF ( www.fligerty.com ), Wolflore ( www.wolflore.net ), or at the official forums as Kiteflyer61.

=========================
9. LEGAL STUFF/ DISCLAIMER
=========================

As with all of my work, this is free to use as you please. All I ask is a little credit where due.

10. ANYTHING ELSE
=================

Have fun with this, and if you make a mod with it, drop by with a pic or two. I'd love to see them.
