Merged Maps
-----------
Author: Volkar (read the credit section)
Version: 1.2
Category: Map


Description
-----------
This mod simply combines the maps of several mods into one map, so you can have all locations show up if you use more than just one of these mods. There are eight different maps included so it's not a problem if you don't use all the mods.


Changelog
---------
Version 1.1 - menu50 and menu80 files added by Leeus.
version 1.2 - 7z file made OMOD ready by Surazal


OBMM Installation
-----------------

1. Start Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM)
2. Create an OMOD using the .7z file you downloaded
3. Double-click Merged Maps
4. Follow the on-screen menus to complete the installation.
Drag the bottom right-hand corner of the menus so you can see all options without having to scroll.

Creating the OMOD
-----------------

1. Start OBMM
2. Click "Create"
3. Click "Add archive" and select the RAR file you downloaded
4. Click "Yes" to ignore the warning about ESP files
5. Import the included omod conversion data
6. Click "Create omod".

Uninstall
---------

1. Start OBMM
2. Select the Merged Maps omod
3. Click the "Deactivate" button.


Manual Installation
-------------------

1 - Unzip the .7z into a temporary folder.
2 - Decide which map you want to use and open the folder of that map in the 'Map Selections' folder.
3 - Copy the 'textures' folder into your Oblivion\Data folder.
4 - If you use a map that adds Stirk to the map, copy the 'MergedMaps.esp' file to your 'Data' folder.
5 - If you use a map that adds Stirk, activate the .esp. To do this, start the 'Oblivion Launcher', go to 'Data Files', find the 'MergedMaps.esp' and check it (by double clicking on it)
That's it :)

Uninstall
---------
Just remove the map from the Oblivion\Data\Textures\Menus\Map\World folder. It's the 'cyrodiil_resized.dds' if you happen to have multiple files in that folder. And if you used the .esp, uncheck and/or delete it.


F.A.Q.
------

Q: Do I have to install all the mods that add the land shown on a map? E.g. Elsweyr is shown on all of the available maps, do I have to install Elsweyr, the Deserts of Anequina for any of these maps to work?
A: No, you can use whatever map you choose from this mod without installing a single other mod.

Q: The Stirk maps use an .esp file, can these also be used without installing Stirk?
A: Yes, the .esp changes the map, so you can scroll the map enough to the left to see the island, it doesn't change the land itself.

Q: Why did you add an Elsweyr only version? There is a mod that does that already.
A: I know, but it was just 5 seconds of extra work when I was making the other versions, and his version is the same size as the original Oblivion map, so it doesn't need an .esp so I added it for people who don't want an the .esp version for some reason.

Q: Did you do this all by yourself?
A: No, I combined the maps. I added a colour to the maps that didn't have that yet and modified some things, but all the main work is done by the modders that made the separate maps. See the credit section for more information.

Q: The author and uploader of the file have different names, are you not the author of this mod or is your mod being uploaded by someone else?
A: No, I used one of my characters name as author because my TES Nexus and Bethesda Game Studios username sucks :P
