1st off thanks to Aridale for getting this Predator Gear in game!


Description
===========
This is Scar and Khajaa - Predator/Yautja Race as a CM Partner completely based off of the awesome CM Partners Mod from Cutthroat Mods by Blackie
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
A lot of questions can be answered at the CM partner creators mod release url above.


Requirements
============
CM Partners Mod Basic - Download and install the latest files here:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819
(The only files needed to run this Pan Partner is the CM Partners.esp and the CM Partners.esm and of course the .esp from this mod)

Latest oblivion patch.

Details
=======
Scar and Khajaa are a Yautja race and are both experienced Warrior class characters and are quite deadly with their Blade or blunt skills. They were last seen in the Arena Bloodworks looking to challenge only the best on this planet and from what they understand the Arena is the place for that.

Since crash landing into Topal Bay and losing everything and almost their very lives, the two of them are unaccustomed to not having a working Shoulder Cannon or functioning Wrist Blades among many of their other high tech hunting equipment. Now they walk together on this mysterious world called Nirn but having their instincts still intact and they have been looking for suitable and challenging prey. Since they are both new to this land they are looking to team up with a worthy adventurer until their people can locate them.

***Special note Scar and Khajaa will always wear their Predator gear and helmet to help them breathe this atmosphere and they will not wear anything else. They will change weapons though. Also they will not speak as of yet but I am working on getting sounds working.***


Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC's desktop for example).
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files Meshes, Textures, and the DAPredator.esp to "Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"
4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a check mark beside DAPredator.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game.
5. Remember Blackie's CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it.


Misc.
=====
If you are using my other companions Tamara, Aliyah, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too.

A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf's Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.

Here are some great animation mods.

Credits
=======
Thanks to Cutthroat Mods - Blackie!!! I would not have been able to make my own companion from scratch. So many many thanks to Blackie for providing this mod to share.

Thanks to Aridale's "ANB Predator mod" as this mod was made possible for his fine work getting the Predator Gear in game.
http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18353

(From Aridale's readme) The original Predator files came from http://www.scifi3d.com/details.asp?intGenreID=11&intCatID=28&key=559
All I did was make them work for Roberts Male Body Replacer. All the meshes and textures (cept for the mask texture) came from the original DLlisted here.

Thanks to Capucines and his/her Aquamer Race as these are the textures I used for the female Predator race.
http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16366

Thanks to jDayT for creating the feet originally for the Argonian race they are wonderful and I love your "stuff"! I also grabbed an amulet from another one of his mods for the female predator.

Thanks to Drake the Dragon and his Argonian Beautification mod that helped me greatly in matching the feet textures for this mod. Awesome work both on jDayT's feet meshes and supporting all the major body replacers with awesome texture work. Also the work he has done with the meshes of the Arena gear and Sandals as now both the male and female have cool footwear. This would not have worked without ya Drake :)

Thanks to Robert and his Male Body Replacer V4.
