1. DESCRIPTION
*****************************************************************
This mod is a high resolution texture variation of the 'Eyes' for
Better heads mod by Phaedrus which puts billboard eyes into the head
models contained in the Better Heads mod to create the impression of
moving eyes.
This mod requires you to have Better Heads installed on your pc.
the Eyes for Better Heads mod is incompatible due to the different
layout of the new textures and is not required.
*****************************************************************
2. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
*****************************************************************
1. Install and activate the Better Heads 1.1 mod by Motoki
2. Place the meshes and textures folder contained in this download into
your Bethesda/Morrowind/data files folder. You will receive a message
saying that these folders exist already. click on 'yes' and allow these
files to overwrite existing files.
3. Start playing!
This mod will not invalidate save games.
*****************************************************************
3. KNOWN ISSUES
*****************************************************************
Billboard eyes aren't perfect and will look odd when looking at the
faces of nPC's at an awkward angle to the eyes, which isn't usually a
problem during regular gameplay as we tend not to focus on npcs unless
we are interacting with them. Also the eyes still 'move' on corpses.
If you can live with its quirks, this mod will put some much needed
life into your npc's
A few npcs's do not have billboard eyes because a couple of head meshes
in the better heads mod appear to be corrupt and is not possible to edit
them in blender, nevertheless they work fine as they are and not yet replaced.
You may see minor clipping issues in some of the heads, this is because
a lot of heads have been made for Morrowind and come in all shapes and sizes
some of which are unsuitable for fitting eye models into them, this can be
quite obvious when viewing in Nifskope but probably wont see it in game.
*****************************************************************
4. VERSION HISTORY
*****************************************************************
1.0 Initial release, the mod has been in development on and off
( more off than on ) for around 18 months with variations of this
in my game when playing/ testing etc for the whole time. These are perhaps
the 3rd or 4th reworking of the textures , most i am happy with though there
are a few i expect to replace at some point.
