1. PLUGIN DESCRIPTION

*****************************************************************


TITLE: Sunrise and Sunset Season and Latitude Scaling
VERSION: v1.1 [21-July-2016]

BY: svengineer99
CONTACT: Bethesda software forum sveng

This mod changes the sunrise and sunset time for longer winter nights in northern latitudes, etc

By default the average mid-winter days and mid-summer nights in northern latitudes will be ~1/3
as long in game hours as normal (equal day and night times) that occurs at mid-spring and fall.

This mod is an improved version of Timescale_SeasonAndLatitudeScaling using MGE-XE
xsetsunrisesunset function call to dynamically change the sunrise and sunset time based on
the season and player latitude. Use only one mod or the other.

*****************************************************************

2. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files/ directory.

REQUIREMENTS: 1) Morrowind, Bloodmoon, Tribunal
2) MGE-XE v0.9.10 (or later)
[ http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102/? ]
with In-Game MWSE support (check box unchecked, that is default)

*****************************************************************

3. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****************************************************************

A) Add the SunRiseSet_SeasonAndLatitudeScaling.esp to your load order
B) Start the game

Optionally, in the console (~):

C) Adjust the minimum day time in hoursn
set sve_sunriseset_min_day = <min=0.0, default=4.0, max=12.0>
D) Adjust the latitude range (in game units) used for seasonal timescaling:
set sve_sunriseset_min_y = <latitude corresponding to constant sunriseset all year>
default -400000 (approximately Old Morrowind-Argonia border)
set sve_sunriseset_max_y = <latitude corresponding to max sunriseset deviation in summer and winter>
default 200000 (approximately Dagon Fel)
E) Adjust the sunrise/sunset duration/times in hours:
set sve_sunriseset_sunrise_time=<min=0.0, default=6.0, max=12.0>
set sve_sunriseset_sunset_time=<min=12.0, default=18.0, max=24.0>
set sve_sunriseset_sunrise_duration=<min=0.0, default=2.0, max=4.0>
set sve_sunriseset_sunset_duration=<min=0.0, default=2.0, max=4.0>
Note: if using MWCMD_SkyDiversity.esm, these globals will get set to .ini values on start/reload
G) Enable/Disable verbose sunriseset reporting with: set sve_sunriseset_verbose to 1 or 0 (default is 0=disabled)
When enabled a messagebox will report on the sunriseset when dynamically updated (every sunrise, sunset, coc, etc)

Examples:
Mid-summer in Dagon Fel will have daytime sunrise at ~2am and nighttime sunset at ~10pm
Mid-winter in Dagon Fel will have daytime sunrise at ~10am and nighttime sunset at ~2pm
Mid-spring/fall everywhere will have daytime sunrise at ~6am and nighttime sunset at ~6pm

To uninstall, remove the .esp from your load order
