     1. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

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

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

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

     2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

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

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box 
next to the BAR_Leather & Chain.esp file.

This mod adds 5 new sets of female-only armor to the game. There are 
3 sets of light armor (leather) and 2 sets of medium armor (chainmail).
You can buy the new armor from a merchant, located in Ald-Ruhn's Ald 
Skar Inn (look for a female Breton wearing one of the outfits).

Each outfit consists of a cuirass (if you want to call it that), greaves,
gauntlets, and boots. No pauldrons, helmet, or shield (this frees those 
slots for other items, like quivers or cloaks). The armor rating for each 
piece should be high enough to compensate for the lack of pauldrons without 
being uber, but you can always adjust the stats yourself if you want.

The mod requires version 2.0 or higher of Better Bodies. For best results,
however, version 2.1 or later is highly recommended.

     3. Save Games

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

This plugin should not invalidate your old saved games. If you remove the
plugin from a game already in progress, you will have to click through
all those error messages.  However, you should be able to continue on afterward.

**Note: As a rule, you should backup all your saves before using this or any
other plugin, as a precaution against any strange error you might encounter.

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

     4. Known Issues/Conflicts

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

Once again, you must have BB 2.0 or higher loaded. This will not work 
correctly with the stock bodies, or with any other body replacer as far 
as I know.

The meshes used for the cuirass does clip slightly with both the gauntlets
and greaves. I was able to hide this reasonably well in most of the outfits.
However, particularly with the regular chainmail set, you will notice some 
clipping of the cuirass and greaves in the back.

Due to the slots these items use, they may not be compatible with some of 
the stock clothing. The gauntlets are an exception, as they use a retextured
stock mesh.

Due to the way the game handles alpha channels, the armor many seem to 
disappear underwater, or in other certain circumstances. There is nothing
that I can do about this, as it is a problem with the MW game engine.

The armor will not show up correctly on the inventory window paper doll image, 
as that does not display clothing with alpha channels correctly. There is
nothing that can be done about this.
