The Swords of Morrowind - Restored Version 
Special thanks to TommyKhajiit for part of the SOM files,
and to Mroczne Tajemnice Vvardenfell:
http://elderscrolls.cdprojekt.com/
for most of the original mod and files.

Final restoration of mod, 1 new icon, esp fix and readme updates by redwoodtreesprite
redwoodtreesprite@yahoo.com

----------------------------

DESCRIPTION:
Classic game and other weapon models made by Max Edwin.  The weapons are sold by Meldor in Balmora.
Many are powerful, and their cost reflects how powerful they are.

I have kept the enchantments, stats and costs exactly as Max Edwin set them.  Be warned that the Daywalker
blade will turn you into a vampire if you equip it.  And you will remain that way after it is unequipped.

I have also included a modder's esp, with the weapons and enchantments entered, but nothing placed ingame.
Both esps were cleaned by TESTool and checked by TESAME. 

---------------------------- 

Technical:
I renamed all the weapon's IDs by placing a Max_ in front of them.  Also, there were three additional
models of Alastor in the pack TommyKhajiit uploaded.  They seem identical to the one in the esp,
Alastor.  I entered them in the esp, but they are not placed ingame.

I found a download of SOM with the missing icons for Anatronos and Scorpion King, so those icons are now back
with the mod.  I also found another version of the Master Sword in the Nightmare Armor mod, and as it seems
to fit best here, I have added it to the shop.

The meshes folder called Vlix contains the models in TommyKhajiit's upload.  The meshes folder called
max is the one in the larger download which seems to be the original one by Max Edwin.
I took the loose icons from this pack, placed them in a folder called max in the icons folder, and
redirected the icon references in the esp to that icon folder.

The guard in Meldor's shop was too weak to be guarding such expensive weapons, so I made a duplicate of 
him with the level raised to 100, named him with SOM_ as a prefix, and replaced the original guard in
just that cell.

------------------------------

Special Usage Comments:

I remember that Max Edwin posted in 2004 that he was happy that his pack had been uploaded to Euro-RPG,
and he kept that link at his site for a long time, rather than reupload it to his site.  So he was glad
to see his work kept available.  If this mod becomes unavailable again, please do upload it to a mod
download site.  But please, also keep it intact and unchanged, including this readme.

I also remember reading on his site that it was OK for others to use his work in mods.
So it's OK for these weapons to be used in mods.  Please include this updated readme with your mod.

CAN'T LOAD THE FILE ??

Getting the nif file not found, big yellow thing showed up inside balmora-armorer ?? this is because you put the nif file on the wrong folder........make sure u check that the nif file is in Data File\Meshes\max .......make sure u DO NOT put them on Data files\Meshes\w or something like that

File location :
.nif ---> Data Files\Meshes \max <---- the \max is a new folder , put my old nif file into this folder !
.esp ---> Data Files
.tga ---> Data Files\Icons
