The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion "Cloudruler Temple Visable When Distant" | v1.1

By: RaiN


Information on Version 1.1
==================================
I felt Cloudruler Temple was a fairly important aspect of Cyrodil, this mod sets Clouldruler Temple to be a distant LOD building so you can now view it from accross Tamriel.

******************************************************
1. Future Versions
******************************************************

This is the final version of this mod.
A future mod will be released when i learn how to lower texture quality etc. on the models making the game more compatible for people with lower end systems.

******************************************************
2. Technical Specifics
******************************************************

1. Copied the existing meshes I planned to use to a new folder.

2. Created Duplicates of each mesh and added a '_far.nif' extension to each one.

3. Linked the statics in the new .esp to the new meshes and set "Visable when distant" to on.

4. Ran World->World Testing->Update Distant LOD for the 'Tamriel' world region

5. Took the .LOD files from the newly created DistantLOD folder and added them to a new folder with the .esp

*******************************************************
3. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
*******************************************************

1- Place cloudrulertempleVWD.esp into your "Oblivion/Data" folder.

2- Extract the "meshes" folder inside the "Data" folder from the rar, into your "Oblivion/Data" folder. If asks to overwrite, choose "Yes".

3- Backup your savegames.

4- When launching the game, select the appropriate data file.

6. Known Bugs/Issues
********************************************************
You are likely to experience a slight framerate hit as i used the existing .nifs, if someone can lower the detail on them do so and contact me at the above email.

If you are having issues with skyboxes or the Temple not showing up in the distance try these two solutions.
1: Use a save game from an interior cell and then go outside and have a look, or alternativly if no save is availible travell to an interior and then go out and check.
2: If you have access to the construction set open this mod up and go into the Tab along the top and select World->World Testing->Update Distant LOD, then select "tamriel" and click 'export (this world space only).

May conflict with other LOD mods.
