History
1.3, 2007-08-15 - Made several changes and improved compatibility:
- Title changed from "Mod Médiéval" to "Medieval Shields"
- All text is now in English.
- Fixed meshes by smoothing and updating tangent spaces in NifSkope to make the texture surface and reflections much more natural.
- Fixed clipping issues on shields by adjusting rotation.
- Fixed meshes by disabling the glowmap feature since there were no glowmaps.
- Fixed missing alpha channel in normal maps.
- Shield and Weapon stats adjusted.
- Re-created menu icons.
- Deleted the change that was made directly to the vendor's inventory and created a new inventory chest to ensure maximum compatibility.
- All paths and files renamed to be more descriptive and to be compatible even if version 1.2 is already installed.
- ESP plugin re-built to be completely compatible with other mods as well as version 1.2 of this mod.
1.2, 2007-04-22 - Updated (unknown changes).
1.0, 2006-07-13 - Initial release.

Future
Nothing planned.
