     1. DESCRIPTION
     
*****************************************************************

Retextures the exterior of Balmora. I originally created this for
myself to spruce up Balmora a bit and was encouraged to pack it up
and make it publicly available.


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

     2. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

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

To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files
directory. 

Tribunal is required.


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

     3. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

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

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box 
next to the Balmora Retuextured.esp file.

Almost everything is still in the same place as it was originally, 
save a few rocks and trees and such. But some additions were made 
so there may be some incompatibilities with some other Balmora mods.
The two main additions are a fountain in front of the Hlaalu Council
Manor, and a statue in the large open area by the outfitter and traders
when you enter Balmora from the South. Any mods that add something
there will conflict.

The ground has been retextured for the two area in Balmorma by adding
these texture files: Tx_WG_road_01.dds and Tx_WG_cobblestones_01.dds.
Note: Since these are land textures, all land that uses them is
changed, this includes Suran and possibly other places I haven't found.
If you want to go back to the original textures just delete those
two files and uncheck the esp.

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

     4. Save Games

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

This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save 
your game while this plugin is loaded, (if you are outdoors in
Balmora) you may encounter error messages when you reload the saved
game without the plugin. But you will be able to continue on with
the original game.


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

     5. Credits

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

Thanks to these talented modlers for their meshes and textures:

LadyE - animated grass
Schismatix - fountain
John Barbosa (a.k.a. JB.) - Converting the statue to a NIF
MasterW3 - Hlaalu doors

I may have used someone's textures in my wild frenzy of retexturing.
If you were the creator of the texture and do not wish it to be
included in this mod, or just want me to add you in the credits,
email me at: qarl@earthlink.net.
