UPDATED TO VERSION 2! :celebration:

Name: Left Gloves Addon
Version: 2.0
Date: 5/10/2009
Category: Models and Textures, Gameplay Effects and Changes
Author(s): Alaisiagae

Description
===========
This mod adds Left and Right icons and ground meshes for the pauldrons and gauntlets of all the armors added in the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions, as well as the four new types of cloth gloves added in Bloodmoon. Also contains the files from Lurlock's Left Gloves.


Details
=======
Inspired by Lurlock's Left Gloves mod, I have created visual left and right icons for the pauldrons, gauntlets, and gloves added in Bloodmoon and Tribunal; Lurlock's Left Gloves mod only changes the pauldrons/gauntlets/gloves in Morrowind. Specifically, I have changed the Wolf Armor, Snow Wolf Armor, Bear Armor, Snow Bear Armor, Ice Armor, Nordic Mail Armor, Royal Guard Armor, Her Hand Armor (enchanted and unenchanted), Dark Brotherhood Armor, and Adamantium Armor Gauntlets and Pauldrons (both Left and Right), as well as the four new gloves added in Bloodmoon (both Left and Right).

- Also includes "leftified" ground meshes for the pauldrons, gloves, and gauntlets. Lurlock changed the left Pauldrons, gloves, and gauntlets already placed in cells have the appropriate lefty ground meshes.

- affects enchanted gloves, gauntlets, and pauldrons (if applicable) in Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon (where applicable).

- This mod has been thoroughly cleaned with TESTool.


Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. I don't think you'll need to.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Morrowind\Data Files\
4. Start Morrowind Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the LeftGloves_Addon_v2.esp file.

!!!Do NOT have Lurlock's LeftGloves.esp and LeftGloves_Addon_v2.esp running at the same time! LeftGloves_Addon_v2.esp will implement the same changes made by the LeftGloves.esp, rendering the LeftGloves.esp redundant!!!


Uninstall
=========
1. Start Morrowind Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the LeftGloves_Addon_v2.esp file.
2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

Delete all contents (or, the entire "Lefty" folder) of the Lefty folder found in Meshes and Icons:

Data Files\Meshes\Lefty
Data Files\Icons\Lefty


Upgrade
=======
1. Uninstall the old mod.
2. Install the new mod. Make sure to read the readme for standard installation instructions.
3. Start Morrowind and play. There should be no effect on saved games and should not corrupt any saves.


Incompatibility
===============
This mod will conflict with mods that alter the same items that I have edited. I have edited all pauldrons and gauntlets/gloves (both left andright versions) from Bloodmoon and Tribunal. You can run both mods at the same time, but only changes made by one of the mods will be applied when you play the game. The mod towards the bottom of your load order will take precedence. Use a plugin manager, such as Wrye Mash, to change the load order of your plugins. You can get Wrye Mash here: http://wrye.ufrealms.net/#WryeMash


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
I don't think there are any bugs. PM me on the forums if you find anything, and I will see what I can do to fix it!


History
=======
2.0, 2009/05/10 - updated with new groundmeshes for TB and BM. Now includes Lurlock's files. No longer supports MW+TB and MW+BM variants.
1.0, 2008/06/29 - Initial release.

Aw, thanks! :D Took me a few hours to put it all together. Those readme's were a pain in the butt to type out, since they are tailored to the specific compatibility edition. I had to work on this from two different computers; my tower computer (which has Morrowind) and my laptop (which has photoshop). Something's strange with the network settings for my laptop, so I had to email the dds and tga files back and forth to myself. Oh, the indignity! :wacko:

Download at PES is currently pending. Will have to edit it right away because I copy/pasted the info from a readme where the change log has the release date as 2006/10/28 (default in the readme generator). :facepalm:

my computers scare me. i never let them talk to each other directly. i bought one of those USB memory stick things. totally worth the money. i use it between the laptops (spooky vista at a distance) and my older xp machine. my connection is too erratic to email stuff to myself. ha! i moved all my mods and textures and save games that way.

when it is up, i will make some time to test it out for you.

Phwe, okay, I just put together and uploaded at TESNexus a compatibility tutorial. In it, I cover, step-by-step and with pictures, how to make a LeftGloves Addon mod compatible with a mod that also alters pauldrons/gauntlets/gloves. I am so sick of typing the words "compatible," "pauldron," and "gauntlet."

Download at PES is still pending. Until then, grab it at TESNexus. Because the file sizes are smaller than 2MB, you don't need to register at TESNexus to download them.

Whoo-hoo! You can now download the mod at Planet Elder Scrolls! Check out the first post for the link! I just uploaded the Compatibility Tutorial at PES, but it'll take a while for them to clear it, I suppose - even though there is no .esp file. In the mean time, you can grab the Tutorial at TESNexus, it's grouped with all the other downloads for this mod. The "Downloading the Mod" section has been updated to include information regarding the purpose of the Compatibility Tutorial.

Updated to version 2! See the OP for details.

In short: adds lefty meshes for BM and TB gloves, gauntlets, and pauldrons. I think I got all the enchanted stuff (just a pair of gloves in Bloodmoon). Includes Lurlock's MW files, so now you don't have to chase down that mod, though you should give Lurlock a nice rating, since this mod contains his. Icons changed from .tga to .dds. No longer supports MW+TB and MW+BM variants, as creating those .esps is too time consuming.
