Description
========================================
Skyrim-style alchemy (All ingredient properties are available, but unknown from the start), in real-time (in live player, rather than the standard alchemy menu). With the additional option of empty bottles; which are required to make potions, and are produced when potions are used.

Details
========================================
IMPORTANT : If you are using DARN, you will need to change a line in the ini file(data\ini\RTIplugins\pmAlchemyOverhaul.ini) from 'set pmao.UseDarn to 0' to 'set pmao.UseDarn to 1'.
This mod is a plugin for my Real-time Interactions mod, the controls for which are fully customisable in the ini file (data\ini\pmRTISettings.ini).
To begin potion making, lay out your apparatus, making sure they are standing up properly, and then simply target your mortar & pestle, and press F4. You will be offered the option 'Alchemy', press F4 again. At this point you can select an ingredient with the mousewheel; press F1 or F2 to switch ingredient slots; or target other apparatus, such as retort and calcinator, which you wish to use, and press F4. Once you have selected your ingredients, press F4 again, and wait for a second whilst the ingredients are mixed. You will then be told whether you successfully made a potion, and given the option to change ingredients and / or try again.
If you are using the empty bottle option (on as default, but can be turned off in the ini), then you will need an empty bottle for each potion you make. These can be purchased from any NPC who sells alchemy equipment; by emptying a potion in your inventory, by pressing the Delete key (can be changed in the ini file) with the mouse over the potion you wish to empty; or by simply using an existing potion.
The mod also includes a method for using potions and poisons in real-time. Simply press F4 when not targeting anything, then use F1/F2 to find 'Drink potion/Poison weapon(mousewheel to select between the two). Then F4 again will bring up the list of available potions or poisons, and F4 once more to use selected.

Future Versions
========================================
The current version is, as far as I can tell, fully functional and bug-free. If there are any problems, or good suggestions, I will try to fix or implement them respectively.

Install & Uninstall
========================================
Copy the files into your Oblivion\Data folder, and activate the esp. To uninstall, simply delete them.


Compatability
========================================
Shouldn't clash with anything, but if there are any problems, let me know,

Thanks to

LordFrostcraig for the empty bottle textures.
