Equipable Skyrim Map
By: ScarabMonkey & kellpossible
========================================

================
DESCRIPTION
================
Installs a craftable map that can be equipped like a shield, block to bring the map up to look at it better. Lowers when running.
Craft at the tanning rack.

This is my continuation of work started by kellpossible:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4331

================
HOW TO INSTALL
================
Preferably use Mod Organizer or Wrye Bash; or
Unpack it to your \Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data folder.
Make sure you tick 'EquipableMap.esp' in the Skyrim loader.

================
COMPATIBILITY
================
This mod does not edit any existing items of Skyrim and is therefore 100% compatible. All recipes are available at the tanning rack.

================
HOW TO UNINSTALL
================
Delete the files that it installs:
\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\EquipableMap.esp
\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\meshes\ScarabMonkey\map
\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\textures\ScarabMonkey\map
And this readme:
\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data\README-Equipable_Map.txt


================
UPGRADING
================
Install over the existing files.
Remember to switch weapons and then re-equip the map.

CHANGE LOG
================
v4.6 adds Forsworn, East Empire Shipping and Dragon Burials
v4.5 adds Map of Solstheim, remade the inventory versions of handy and treasure maps so that they are more useful as ornaments!
v4.0 adds equip-able treasure maps - craftable if have the original in your inventory
v3.5 rebuilt .nif from scratch to fix strange crash bug - also rebuilt .esp from scratch (renamed stuff)
v3.2 fixed internal names to not collide with kellpossible's work - will be merging soon
v3.1 changed orientation slightly - looks better onscreen
v3.0 now counts as a shield, please re-equip if upgrading. No 3rd person issues. Lighting works too.
v2.1 now with transparency, tidied-up the texture-mapping. Renamed to Equipable Skyrim Map to distinguish it from kellpossible's mod which will soon be farther-reaching and awesome!
v2.0 uses battlemap texture instead of a new one - now uses my nif
v0.5 original fork from kellpossible - just made it a new item


================
NOTES
================
Texture:
This mod uses your existing battlemap texture, which you can replace with mods such as HQ Skyrim map by Paddyy:

All these screenshots feature his excellent replacer.

How I made it:
Originally used NifSkope to modify kellpossible's nif and SkyEdit to create the esp
Modified an existing map nif to accomodate the world item.
Version 3 onwards uses a nif that I created from existing Skyrim items and I used TESSnip to edit the shield properties (SkyEdit can't do those yet!)
Version 4.5 adds the Solstheim map and requires Dragonborn - edited using TES5Edit and NifSkope

N00b:
This is my first ever proper mod, I am learning NifSkope, SkyEdit and TESSnip.
