***************************************************************** The Elder Scrolls III MORROWIND: Particle Arrow Replacer Version 4.0 ***************************************************************** Index: 1. Installation 2. Playing the Plugin 3. Compatibility 4. Save Games 5. Notes 6. Known Issues 7. Credits ***************************************************************** 1. Installation ***************************************************************** If using a any previous versions of Particle Arrow Replacer, uninstall them first. To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files directory. Requires both Tribunal and Bloodmoon to play. Activate the "Particle Arrow Replacer.esp" and play! If the Official Area Effect Arrows plugin is also being used, or another mod that uses or changes Area Effect Arrows (for example, Redesigned Vivec), load AEA-Compatibility.esp after Particle Arrow Replacer.esp and Area Effect Arrows.esp AEA-Compatibility.esp just alters the references for the arrows and bolts in Area Effect Arrows unlike previous versions were the full Area Effect Arrows mod was included. This was done increase compatibility. ***************************************************************** 2. Playing the Plugin ***************************************************************** Just play the game normally and enjoy! The .esp replaces every original enchanted arrow in the game, including ones from the expansions. ***************************************************************** 3. Compatibility ***************************************************************** As this mod alters the references for the arrows, it will conflict with mods that also alter the arrows such as rebalancing/pricing mods. You will need to "merge objects" from confliction mods together with tools such as TESTool or Wrye Mash. Refer to the ReadMe's of the respective tools for instructions. ***************************************************************** 4. Save Games ***************************************************************** This will not invalidate your old saved games. It's always a good idea to clean your save games though when installing/removing mods. ***************************************************************** 5. Notes ***************************************************************** Feel free to use these arrow meshes however you see fit. Please email any comments, suggestions, or questions regarding this plugin to ghostnull@hotmail.com ***************************************************************** 6. Known Issues ***************************************************************** There is one known problem. When viewing in third-person/vanity mode and you have an arrow or bolt readied and start moving, the particle effect will become dislodged from the arrow or bolt. It's just an engine limitation/bug with particle effects, similar to Trueflame and Hopesfire with the odd angles the particles sometimes point. This graphical issue is fixed with Morrowind Code Patch. This mod can not and will not ever affect self-enchanted arrows or bolts. It's a limitation and sure impossibility of the engine. ***************************************************************** 7. Credits ***************************************************************** Bethesda: For the original meshes and textures and for the original Area Affect Arrows plugin.
