Description
===========
An animated hot tub jacuzzi modders resource.

Details
=======
This is a mesh for a hot tub that can be placed anywhere in the game world. Included is an esp with a demo in the testing hall, type "coc testinghall" without the quotes in the console to see the hot tub in action.

Place this hot tub anywhere in the game world and check it out. If you place it in an interior cell, make sure that cell has water enabled. You will also find a screenshot of my recomended water settings included. There are two versions of the hot tub available, one has an additional particle emitter to mimic steam (hottubHD.nif), but this comes with an FPS hit. The other version only has the single splash particle emitter and has no noticable performance impact.

The hot tub is a furniture item with 4 seating positions available to choose from.

Install
=======
1. Extract to a temporary folder.
2. Set up your folder structure the way you like for your mod
3. Copy the hottub.nif (or hottubHD.nif if you want the high definition version) into your selected folder
4. Add it to the game as a furniture item and enable the seats you wish to have available in game.

To view the demo:
1: Extract to a temporary folder
2: Move the hottub.nif into the Oblivion\Data\Meshes\Other folder OR rename hottubHD.nif to hottub.nif and place it in the same folder
3: Move hottub.esp into your Oblivion\Data folder
4: Enable Hottub.esp in your OB launcher and then type coc testinghall in game to view the hottub.

Uninstall
=========
Delete the hottub.nif or hottubHD.nif from your meshes folder.


Incompatibility
===============
This is just a modders resource and is fully compatible with whatever you decide to add it to.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
The HD version uses a cloud emitter to simulate steam at the cost of performance. I don't know why the performance hit is so high, and as soon as I find a way to mitigate it, I'll release an update. The ordinary version has no noticable performance drawbacks and still looks quite good.

Occassionally you can get some glitches with the hot tub's water mesh not properly applying the cell's water type in outdoor areas. I have no clue why this happens and it appears to be intermittent. I've been told it's related to save game loading so if you see this, try exiting and re-entering the cell (through a load door preferably).

If you encounter any bugs please let me know. If you have any other trouble feel free to contact me, but I expect you to have checked the CS Wiki and Bethesda forums first ;)
