Vurt's Leafy West Gash compability patch for Tamriel Rebuilt - README

======= Introduction =======

Released in 2011, Vurt's Leafy West Gash II is IMO still the best visual overhaul of the West Gash Region. Unfortunately, a major drawback is that it replaces the tree and root meshes with models which are very different from the originals, requiring careful placement of the objects. This makes it practically incompatible with any mod using Bethesda's original meshes, such as Tamriel Rebuilt. This mod remedies this problem by assigning new ID:s to all of Vurt's tree models and renaming the meshes, so it will no longer affect other mods.

A patch for HotV - Gnisis (www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47978) is included as well. This moves / deletes some of the trees so they will no longer clash with the changes to the worldspace.

======= Installation =======

1. Install all textures and the chokeweed/roobrush meshes (meshes/o folder) from Vurt's Leafy West Gash II (www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/37400). Use the 2dot0a version. This mod includes a modified .esp, so there is no need to include the original. If intending to skip step 3 below, DO NOT INCLUDE THE ROOT AND TREE MESHES (meshes/f folder). These are the ones that cause the problem.

2. Install this mod, either by using Mod Organizer or copy the files to the Morrowind/Data Files directory. If using HotV - Gnisis, use the alternative .esp.

3. (Optional) Use a mesh replacer for the original West Gash trees. I recommend Vanilla-friendly West Gash Tree Replacer (www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44173).

======= Updating from Vurt's original version of Leafy West Gash or from an earlier version of this mod =======

1. (Skip if just updating this mod) Remove all meshes named flora_root_wg_0* and flora_tree_wg_0*, where * denotes the numbers 1-8, in the Meshes/f folder, or use a mesh replacer (follow step 3 above).

2. Install this mod. If using an existing save, this should be updated with Wrye Mash using the steps written here: http://wiki.theassimilationlab.com/mmw/Wrye_Mash#Using_an_Updated_Version_of_a_Mod. Otherwise you may run into problems.

======= Changelog =======

Version 1.1 - Fixed a bug with misplaced trees in the West Gash Region.
Version 1.01 - Removed unnecessary master dependencies for the HotV patch.
Version 1.0 - Original version.

======= Credits =======

Vurt - for creating the awesome tree models and the original .esp. I have only made minor edits to the original mod.
