Description
===========
This mod contains various meshes that attempt to fix problems that exist
in Iggey's Almost Everything Visibile When Distant (AEVWD) mod.

Some these fixes can be used as is. However, to get the most out of
this mod, you need to get and use TES4LODGen by ElminsterEU.


Details
=======
As I played through Oblivion with AEVWD, I noticed problems with a few
of the the meshes Iggey provided. I also noticed a few cases where no
VWD meshes were provided and this caused VWD objects to appear
strangley. This mod contains various fixes that I have made for use in
my own game to correct these issues.

I have not made any attempt to optimize these fixes for people with low
end computers, and I don't intend to. All meshes use the original
Bethesda textures.

For people that want fine control over what gets installed into their
game, I have provided each fix as a standalone fix. I have also included
a directory that contains all of the fixes in one place for people that
want everything.

Here is a list of everything that has been fixed or added. If the fix is
labeled as "(TES4LODGen)", that means that you won't see this fix unless
you also use TES4LODGen. See the Technical Details section for more on
TES4LODGen, meshes, and VWD objects.

* anvil_docks (TES4LODGen) - AEVWD only includes the very tip of each
dock as a VWD object. This adds the docks to Anvil bay.

* anvil_ships (TES4LODGen) - AEVWD doesn't include the ships in Anvil
bay. This adds both ships to the bay. As a side effect, this also adds
both ships to the Impericla City Waterfront.

* battlethorn (TES4LODGen) - For some reason Bethesda didn't provide a
VWD mesh for the Downloadable Content (DLC) Battlethron Castle. This
adds Battlethorn Castle as a VWD object.

* burned_island (TES4LODGen) - There is a bruned out island in the Niben
Bay. It contains a burned out tower, house, and tree. AEVWD doesn't
provide the tower or house. This fix adds them both.

* cathedralakatosh - AEVWD provides a mesh for this cathederal. However,
it has some problems with the windows. Depending on which angle you
approached the catherderal from, you can see right through the
building. This fixes that problem.

* cathedralstendarr - AEVWD provides a mesh for this cathederal.
However, it has some problems with the windows. Depending on which
angle you approach the catherderal from, you can see right through the
building. This fixes that problem.

* foot_bridges - AEVWD provides a mesh for the various stone foot
bridges you find out in the country. These bridges are often used for
crossing small rivers and streams. Unfortunately, the meshes are see
through. This fixes that problem and makes the bridges solid again.

* frostcrag (TES4LODGen) - For some reason Bethesda didn't provide a VWD
mesh for the DLC Frostcrag Spire. This adds the Spire as a VWD object.

* wayshrines (TES4LODGen) - AEVWD doesn't proivide wayshrines as VWD
objects. This fix adds them..

* wfall_bridges (TES4LODGen) - There is a location where two foot
bridges are needed to span an expanse of water around the IC. The
bridges have a rock between them to make up for the extra distance
that the bridges don't span. Unfortunately, AEVWD doesn't provide that
rock so it looks like the bridges go from the shore to no where. This
fix provides the rock and the bridge ends to make the scene complete.

* wood_bridge_stairs (TES4LODGen) - AEVWD provides a mesh for a wood
bridge that crosses the lower Niben Bay. However, it doesn't provide
the stairs on either side of the bridge. This makes the bridge look
like it is floating in mid air above the water. This fix adds the
stairs at both sides.
