Update from 1.0
===============

1. Re-worked uv maps on every single piece. There is a bug when saving changes to the vanilla
stonewall pieces which would cause the texture to separate. This was leaving a weird looking
razor straight gap down the top of the mesh. And it happened on every single piece from the
vanilla stonewall set. All fixed and tested in game, everything looks better now.

2. Added a handful of new pieces that weren't included in the last package.

3. Added two more textures that were made for the "broken" wall pieces.



Description
===========

While working on various settlement projects I ended up creating quite a few farm related pieces that
were retextured with regional stone and wood. I thought for others who wish to create unique mods, or
enhance existing mods, these pieces may prove useful.


Details
========

It always bothered me that vanilla Oblivion used a lot of the same resources for every region of the
game. The stonewall architecture is a prime example of this. One can find the exact same style of stonewall
in almost every farm and interior of every city, even though each city interior has it's own unique stone
and wood materials. The only exceptions to this are bravil and kvatch which have their own unique textures
in the game files.

So when I began working on Settlements of Cyrodiil I wanted each region to have architecture which reflected
the materials unique to that part of the world. Included here is a mostly complete set of stonewall pieces for
each of the other 6 areas in the game. The sets contain every piece that I have personally had occasion to use
in a mod. I don't think there is much that was left out.

Each set is created using regional vanilla stone and wood textures. I did tweak most of the stone textures
to make them work properly on the stonewall pieces, but they are still all based 100% off of stock vanilla
stone textures. Everything is still not as perfect as I would like so this may get one more update at some
time in the future.


Contents
========

There are folders for each of the previously unrepresented areas...Anvil, Bruma, Cheydinhal, Chorrol,
Leyawiin, and Skingrad. I didn't do anything for the IC region...figured that was a good region for the stock
vanilla stuff. Most folders will contain 1 each of the following meshes:

Some regions have alternate textures. Anvil has standard and lower class, Bruma has plain or snow,
Cheydinhal has plain or mossy, Skingrad has standard or lower class. I used the vanilla stonewall
gate door for Bruma and chorrol since it looks just fine with those stone materials. Anvil,
Cheydinhal, and Skingrad have a new stonewall gate that matches their wood textures. Leyawiin
has two since I just couldn't decide which I liked better.
