Name: Unique Finery Replacer UFR
Version: 1.1
Date: 8/17/2009
Category: Models and Textures
Requirements: Tribunal & Bloodmoon
Author: Alaisiagae

Description
===========
Gives most special and unique belts, rings, and amulets new, unique meshes. Also, some unique robes, gloves, and shoes have new textures, too.


Details
=======
Gives the majority of unique and special rings, amulets, and belts new and unique meshes and/or textures. Two robes now have new textures, along with several gloves, and one pair of shoes. All textures are actually vanilla textures, so they will look even better (hopefully!) with any texture replacers you use. New icons have been made, too, in the same style as Bethesda's. In total, over 100 pieces of clothing have been edited.

+ Two versions of the mod. One affects robes, the other doesn't change the robes. If you use a robe replacer, then I suggest using the non-robe .esp.

!!! THIS MOD WILL NOT MAKE AMULETS, RINGS, AND BELTS APPEAR ON YOUR CHARACTER WHEN EQUIPPED! This mod just gives them new ground meshes, so they'll look pretty on your shelf. The new icons will also make them handy to spot in your inventory. !!!

+ Includes fixes and tweaks for several vanilla rings. Incorrect Nif Material Properties have been fixed for: all 6th house artifacts (amulets, belts, rings), Madstone Amulet, common ring02 and common ring04. Tweaked textures on the 6th House artifact rings and belt to be better (nothing radical).

+ fixed the name of the Iron Will belt that has a speed enchantment. It is now the Belt of the Feet of Notorgo (which is the cS ID name for it).

+ Try using Yacoby's Close Inspection mod ( http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=6879 ) to be able to see all the lovely detail on those itsy bitsy rings.

+ Includes the changes made to the Templar, Imperial, and Indoril Belts from my Soldiers Belts Mod.

+ Gloves have right and left icons.

- cleaned with ESCOG.

+ !!! Bethesda goofed up and put the wrong textures in the Morrowind.bsa for most of the generic rings (common, expensive, extravagant). You can get the correct textures off your CS disc, or from another mod that has this fix (Ring Texture Fix mod, or the Morrowind Patch Project). This mod doesn't include those textures, so you'll have to get the fix yourself. See the "Known Issues" section of this readme for links to these mods

=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Morrowind\Data Files\
4a. If you WANT the changes to the robes, use the UniqueFinery.esp, DELETE the UniqueFinery_NoRobe.esp
4b. If you DO NOT want the changes to the robes, use the UniqueFinery_NoRobe.esp, DELETE the UniqueFinery.esp
5. Start Morrowind and play.

!!!NOTE: Don't run both plugins at the same time !!!

- If you are running my Soldiers Belt Fix mod, you can deactivate and uninstall it.


Uninstall
=========
Uncheck the .esp. Then delete it!

Delete the following:

icons\Alais\amulet_[insert name here].dds
icons\Alais\belt_[insert name here].dds
icons\Alais\glove_[insert name here].dds
icons\Alais\ring_[insert name here].dds

!!!NOTE: "[insert name here]" means just that. There's about a dozen meshes starting with "c_amulet" in the Alais folder, and I didn't feel like typing them all out. Besides, did you really want to read two pages of mesh names?!


Upgrade
=======
1. Uninstall the old mod.
2. Install the new mod.
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 another mod that edits the Indoril, Imperial, and Templar belts. Versions of the MPP higher than version 1.6.4 will include the fix for these mods. Honestly, it doesn't matter if this mod overwrites that, as they make the same changes. If you are running my Soldiers Belt Fix mod, you can deactivate and uninstall it, as this mod includes that mod.

This mod will conflict with all other mods that edit the items listed in the Big List of Changes earlier in this readme. Use the NoRobe version of the mod if you are using a robe replacer (such as Canadian Ice's Robe Replacer).


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
If you don't have a ring texture fix mod, then certain vanilla ring textures will appear black (Bethesda messed up the textures when they put them in the Morrowind.bsa). You can grab the correct textures off your CS disc and plop them in your Morrowind\Data Files\Textures folder, or get the Morrowind Patch Project.

You can get the MPP here: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=7347
The original Ring Texture Fix mod is here: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=1327


Other than that, there shouldn't be any problems. If you find any problems, PLEASE let me know. I tested most of the mod, but I might have missed something.

I think I've got everyone. Thanks for making these and letting me (and modders in general) use these beautiful meshes.

Looks excellent. Does this fix the problem that 99% of rings when put down appear black, rather than textured. Or is that done already by another mod?

I opened c_robe_wwalker.nif to try to see the texture you used in your mod. And saw a_bear2_chest.dds Where did you get this texture? I cant find it.

'Cos every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man

It's in the Bloodmoon.bsa. "bear2" is the Snow Bear armor. Oddly enough, "wolf2" is the regular wolf armor, and "wolf" is the snow wolf. That, and Bethesda can't spell. I saw a greaves textures spelled "grieves"! And the heartrhyme amulet is spelt "rime." :shakehead:
