Name: One of a Kind Weapons
Version: 1.01
Date: May 2017
Author: Guinefort1

Description
========

A replacer for unique weapons, armors, and clothing

Details
=====

Inspired by the Skyrim mods Unique Uniques and Unique Weapons Redone. This mod is basically those, but for Oblivion. Most one of a kind, special weapons, armors, and clothing articles that do not have unique meshes and textures have been replaced with original meshes and textures from modders' resources.

This mod started out as solely a weapons replacer, but branched out to include both armor and clothing, hence the non-indicative name.

V1.01 adds the Staff of Worms replacer to the core mod and adds a Wrye Bash description to make it easier to patch with overhaul mods.

Requirements
=========

Oblivion Version 1.2.0416

Installation Instructions
================

Copy contents into your Oblivion data folder. To update to V1.01, uninstall the old version and install the complete new file.

Uninstallation Instructions
==================

Delete the esp, meshes, and textures

Optional Files
==========

OoaKW - Staff of Worms is an optional plugin that replaces the Staff of Worms with a new mesh and texture. This mod is merged into the V1.01 update. The Alternative Shoes version is a variant of V1.01 that changes the meshes for Nistor's Boots, Boots of Springheel Jack, Quicksilver Boots, and Boots of the Swift Merchant to reduce clipping issues. To install, let the Alternative Shoes plugin overwrite the original plugin. Alternative Shoes serves as both a plugin replacer and update for V1.0 to V1.01, but needs the BSA from either main version.

Change Log
========

V1.01:

- merges One of a Kind Weapons with OoaKW - Staff of Worms
- adds a plugin description for easier Wrye Bash patching

V1.0:

- initial release

Incompatibility
==========

Technically compatible with Ironman5000's Immersive Weapons mod, but does clash stylistically, in that Immersive Weapons adds as generic weapons what this mod adds as unique replacers for vanilla ones. Using both will dilute out this mod's effect. Incompatible with Naihaan's Deceiver's Finery Replacer, but so long as that mod is loaded after this one, you can use Deceiver's Finery Replacer while still getting everything else that this mod offers. Incompatible with Ferretmyster's Oblivion Artifacts Overhaul, but if you want to use oth for some reason, load one of a Kind Weapons after Oblivion Artifacts Overhaul, and you can retain some of the changes OAO makes.

Known Issues
==========

A few resources lack accompanying gnd files or menu icons, so mismatching vanilla ones had to be used instead in a few cases. Menu icons have at times spontaneously disappeared, I have no idea whether this was a side effect from building the mod or if it's a long term problem.

Troubleshooting
===========

Feel free to come to me with questions or issues and I will help as best as I can. That said, please bear in mind that I am a novice modder and may not be able to offer much in the way of assistance.
