   [b]Quick Note:[/b] This readme was typed for SkyrimNexis, so there are likely things in here that are irrelevant to this site. I dont' care. Hey, finally managed to get this retex pack done after six hours of texture editing, screenshotting, and image editing. The majority of the work actually went into the screenshotting and screenshot editing, lol.. If you like the mod, let me know in your comments. Also, don't hesitate to endorse, because it really helps in getting more views in the long run. ====== NOTES ====== * If you want more screenshots to convince you, download the Screenshot Package archive. Why? It has over 200 screenshots. * The textures no longer cause lag like in my sword retex beta (see below), as they are now 1024x1024, rather than 1536x1536. This cuts the size down by almost 1mb and improves the way the mod runs immensely. * Elven Sword Retex Beta: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=309 ====== Install ====== To install, extract the texture folder into: Steam > SteamApps > Common > Skyrim > Data If you are asked to merge the folder, say yes. For the textures to take effect, you need to navigate to: Skyrim > Data > textures > weapons > elven In the "elven" folder are eight other folders, named after each weapon. Go into each folder and remove the "colour name" from the file name. So, for example, in the "swords" folder, if you want to use the "dark" texture, change "sword_d dark" to "sword_d" !!!!YOU MUST DO THIS TO ALL WEAPONS FOR THE MOD TO WORK!!!! If you wish to change textures to another one, add the text back into the file name of the currently used texture, and remove it from the one you want to use. ======= Disable ======= To temporarily disable the mod and revert back to the original textures, navigate to: Skyrim > Data > textures > weapons > elven > (weapon folder) In the weapon folders corresponding to the weapons you want to disable, rename the currently used texture (the one without a "colour name" at the end) so it is no longer one of the following: elvenbattleaxe bow dagger_d greatsword_d handaxe mace sword_d elvenwarhammer If the file is no longer one of the above, the "texture path" will be broken, and the game will return to using the textures packaged in "textures.bsa" ========= Uninstall ========= To uninstall, navigate to: Skyrim > Data > textures > weapons > elven > (weapon folder) In each weapon folder, delete the following textures: (note: there will always be a missing file in each folder, because you need to rename one for it to be active (unless you copy it and then rename it..)) elvenbattleaxe blue elvenbattleaxe dark elvenbattleaxe golden elvenbattleaxe light elvenbattleaxe red elvenbattleaxe silver elvenbattleaxe bow blue bow dark bow golden bow light bow red bow silver bow dagger_d blue dagger_d dark dagger_d golden dagger_d light dagger_d red dagger_d silver dagger_d greatsword_d blue greatsword_d dark greatsword_d golden greatsword_d light greatsword_d red greatsword_d silver greatsword_d handaxe blue handaxe dark handaxe golden handaxe light handaxe red handaxe silver handaxe mace blue mace dark mace golden mace light mace red mace silver mace sword_d blue sword_d dark sword_d golden sword_d light sword_d red sword_d silver sword_d elvenwarhammer blue elvenwarhammer dark elvenwarhammer golden elvenwarhammer light elvenwarhammer red elvenwarhammer silver elvenwarhammer (damn that's a lot of files) ================ Legal and Thanks ================ No one may use my textures without notifying me first. If they are used in screenshots, a note must be made on the screenshot description to say where to get the textures. Why? It's nice to show people where all the fancy mods on your screenshots came from. If you wish to upload this to a site outside of skyrimnexus or skyrimforge, you MUST message me so we can sort something out. Thanks to Bethesda for the great game and for the textures I edited to make this. Tools used were Photoshop and 7zip
