Description
===========

v 1.0- This is just the basic plugin, converts the Imperial City to use basic white textures. (Looks fantastic with Better Cities Imperial City, as half the blocks lying around are still old style and gives it a "still in progress" effect)


Details
=======
Tired of the old dirty Imperial City? Sure it was once an Ayleid ruin, but that doesn't mean it should look like it lived every inch of the last three hundred years. It's supposed to be the greatest city in Cyrodiil, and is called the most beautiful. And yet it's gray and looks to be slowly decaying. It's been restored in this plugin, wizard and peasant alike cleaning the city until it gleams like it's ancient walls once did when it was first built. Sidewalks, the rivers of the community, are awash with a soft blue. (this does not yet alter statues)


NOTE: THIS ONLY REPLACES IMPERIAL CITY AND WAYSHRINE TEXTURES: DOES NOT AFFECT AYLEID RUINS. :)


Installation
=============
Note! Back up your old Imperial City file structure first!

1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\
4. Start the game

Uninstall
=========
1. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

Incompatibility
===============
With any plugin that alters textures of the Imperial City. Try it with Better Cities. It looks great. :)

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
In some cases, some of the distant architecture looks oddly flat. In other cases, shadows look like they're folded up. This is the result of not using the vertex shading in my textures. In the future version, White Marble Imperial City, this issue will be hopefully addressed and fixed.

Note also that it may appear to glow brightly if you use HDR.
