Description
===========
Replaces various mostly non-flora ingredients and all five soulgems with higher resolution textures that maintain the look and feel of the original textures.


Details
=======
This mod replaces the textures for various ingredients found in Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon. It also contains texture replacers for all five soulgems and the gold kwama egg (quest-related). Except for one, all the textures are brand new. Most are 256x256 in .dds format. Several are 512x512. New meshes are included for some ingredients. Thanks to swrdphatom for re-mapping the meshes to make texture replacing possible.


+++Ingredients+++
+ MW: Raw Glass, Shalk Resin, Resin, Fire Salts, Frost Salts, Void Salts, Ash Salts, Dwarven Dust, Grave Dust, Vampire Dust, Raw Ebony, Sload Soap, Ghoul Heart, Daedra's Heart, Corprus Weepings, Ectoplasm, Dreugh Wax, Rat Meat, Hound Meat, Moon Sugar, crab meat, Scrap Metal, Scrib Jelly, Scrib Jerky, Kwama Cuttle, Guar Hide, Kagouti Hide, Skamp Skin, Daedra Skin, Alit Hide, and Scuttle. The texture for the Golden Egg (part of a Fighter's Guild quest) has also been replaced.
+ TB: Horn Lily Bulb, Durzog Meat, Adamantium, and Sweetpulp.
+ BM: Grahl Eyeball, Bristleback Leather, and Raw Stalhrim.

+++Soulgems+++
+ Petty, Lesser, Common, Greater, and Grand.


Downloading the Mod
===================
+ SIR_MW: Download this if you ONLY have Morrowind.

+ SIR_TB: Download this if you have Morrowind AND Tribunal, but NOT Bloodmoon.

+ SIR_BM: Download this if you have Morrowind AND Bloodmoon, but NOT Tribunal.

+ SIR_TBandBM: Download this if you have Morrowind AND Tribunal AND Bloodmoon.


Upgrade
=======
1. Remove the previous version's textures.
2. Add the new version's textures.
3. Start Morrowind and play. There is no effect on saved games and cannot corrupt any saves.


Incompatibility
===============
If there is a mod that replaces the textures and meshes, then you must choose which textures and meshes you want in your game.


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
There shouldn't be any. This is a simple texture replacer and does not require any .esps. I doubt there will be any effect on the game's performance.

You may preview these textures with such free programs as Irfan View ( http://www.irfanview.com/), Windows Texture Viewer ( http://developer.nvidia.com/object/windows_texture_viewer.html ) or another dds viewing program (use google to search). Such a program will let you view the textures without having to start up your game.
