Description

184 re-textured, modified and completely new build meshes in "Akavir style".

Details

I'm German and to be on the safe side, I apologize for the mistakes I have most probably made in writing this text.

Contains (for instance):

Cloudruler temple meshes, outside:

• Changed wood textures ('as good as new' ;-)
• Temple wings 'cut off' using Blender, so both can be used each as separated buildings.

Cloudruler meshes inside:

• Changed wood textures
• All wing parts "mirrored" using Blender, so they can be used for both sides of the main hall
• "Decomposed" version of main hall, so it can be used i.e. without fireplace and/or without the inner pillars, etc.
• "Decomposed" version of the East Wing hall with:
  • no entrance to "basement" at all
  • the default stairs
  • an open stair without wall, matching the "barracks" basement
• Meshes with filenames ending on '...AN.nif' are versions with "Weather - All Natural" extensions for interiors. These are the meshes that require the Weather - All Natural mod. Look below on how to use them right.
• "Barracks" mesh with different textures for floor and ceiling.

'Normal' Basement meshes: newly textured to cloudruler style, added meshes with larger height for a 'more generous' basement.

New meshes:

• Cabinet system with various shelf inserts to place different types of arms and clutter on it.
• Meshes for tatami flooring (4 1/2, 6, 8, 10, 12 18 tatami).
• New variants of the great DisplayCase and the Umbecano Cabinet of Bethesda.
• Some variants of the Cloudruler 'Bamboo' sliding door. Versions with modified shading that should better suit different textures.
• Various arms brackets to "hangup" your deadly tools.

Most textures are original Bethesda, some modified by me. Except of course the wood textures by Dalet.

All meshes named '...AN.nif' are versions with "Weather - All Natural" (AN) extensions for interiors. Now here's in short (very short) how to use them:

• If you haven't already installed 'Weather - All Natural':
• Read the 'All Natural Readme.doc'. Do it, it's important!
• Install 'Weather - All Natural'.
• Open the CS and activate 'All Natural Base.esm' as additinal master file for your mod.
• Build up your interior worldspace using '...[b]AN[/b].nif' rooms.
• On the interior worldspace settings activate the 'Behave like exterior' flag.
• Choose the 'NIWGeneric' climate for the interior worldspace and save everything.
• Start Wrye Bash, right-click 'Bashed patch, ?.esp' and select 'Rebuild patch ...'.

Thanks to

all who developed or supported one or more of the tools mentioned before.

Kielanai for the excellent Akaviri Kojima mod, the main trigger for this project.

Daleth for the UCFurniture Pack 1 & 2 mod.

Special thanks and credits to Brumbek and the Weather - All Natural team. I got permission to copy the 'outer' parts of their Cloudruler interior meshes. So I could update my meshes to support their awesome mod in 'only' some hours and not several weeks ;). If you find any errors in this 'borrowed' parts, they are surely made by me.
