These meshes are all suitable for any use but are intended to be used as containers in an Armory or Armor/Weapon display room. They were created primarily for my own use but I thought others might be able to use them as well.

The armor stands were originally created by Meo in his "Armors of Cyrodiil for Dummies" resource (see credits for a link). All I did was retexture the stands to match the other items in this mod and fix a couple of missing textures on the armor.

I made the weapon racks by copying weapon meshes into the rack mesh and placing them accordingly. There might be some bloat in the NIF files since the entire weapon mesh was copied over rather than just the NiTriShape. I did this for collision reasons, though, and was too lazy to strip it all out the way it should be done.


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

1. Extract this archive to any folder and then copy the contents to Oblivion's Data folder.
2. Use the Construction Set to add your own containers using these NIF files as the meshes.

=================
Un-Installation:
=================

1. Delete the archive associated with the mod along with any files/folders you extracted from it.

=================
Upgrade:
=================

N/A - No upgrades planned at this time. Any upgrades will completely replace this one so all items will need to be removed and replaced.

=================
Incompatibility:
=================

N/A - Modder's resource ONLY. No items placed in-game.

=================
Known Issues:
=================

- The Mithril Armor Display Stand is missing some vertices on the gauntlet. This issue was carried over from Meo's mod (see credits) at end of this readme.

- All meshes use vanilla textures so any mods that replace the vanilla textures on weapons or armor should work with this mod as well. However, if the mod uses its own mesh to replace the vanilla item, its changes will not be reflected here.

- The steel weapons rack sits a little higher than the others when placed in-game. The easy fix is to floor it a couple more times in the CS. If I ever release an update I may tweak the mesh a little to fix this issue.

=================
History:
=================

09/12/2009: Version 1.0 -- Initial upload.
04/03/2010: Version 1.5 -- First update. Removed Havok and slot information from the individual weapons on each rack. This lowered the filesizes by a few bytes, but most importantly it should reduce the FPS hit being reported by some users. Also added a rack for Akaviri weapons and added a chest to each of the armor stands.
