Requirements
==========
Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.214 (Official 1.2 Patch)

Elven Common Speak Font by
Nancy Lorenz (included)

The Kings and Queens Font by
Brän / Fractal Eye (included)

Needed for version 1.2
- You need these for the texture to be displayed properly. Install these BEFORE opening the .psd to avoid any undesired results. (not included)

Wood textures From:
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshopdownloads/ig/Photoshop-Patterns/Wood-Pattern-Textures.htm

Installation Instructions
=================
If your using Stirk and want the full version of this map, simply drag and drop the

"Full Version - Stirk" contents into your oblivion directory and overwrite where asked. This version will only work if you have Stirk installed and already have the larger map where Stirk can be seen working.

If you are not using Stirk but still want to use this map, drag and drop the "Full Version - Non Stirk" contents into your oblivion directory and overwrite when asked.

This will overwrite the original cyrodiil_resized.dds map. Should you wish to uninstall later, make a backup.

IF THESE DO NOT SHOW UP DOWNLOAD THE LOWER RES TEXTURES IN THE "UMO - Menus50 Menus80" file, This map was not inteneded for these lower resolutions and may have some undesired distorting but I've uploaded these for some of us that do not have a computer that can sport the full size resolution.

PHOTOSHOP USERS:
I've included the fonts useds, be sure to drop them into your C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

directory before opening the .psd

You will also need the Wood textures listed in the requirements section. These are not included but can be easily substituted if necessary.

Uninstallation Instructions
===================
If using the stirk version delete Data\Textures\Menus(Menus50, Menus80)\Map\world\TR_StirkWorldMap.dds and restore your backup.

If using the non Stirk version delete

Data\Textures\Menus(Menus50, Menus80)\Map\world\cyrodiil_resized.dds and restore your backup.

Incompatibility
===========
Will be incompatible with any mods that obviously replace the world map, as this will over write them. If you do not run your game on "high textures" then in order to get this to work on your computer you will need a lower res version, which can be created using the .psd included with photoshop. (Warning: Due to the amount of text and detail, this is not suggested)

Known Issues
===========
Stirk and Dunkerlore castle touch the borders, I'm working on a much larger map that will require the use of an .esp.
