📋 About This Mod
Name: Gandalf is a Mage CM Partner/Companion Version: 2 Date: 8/30/2008 Category: Companions Homepage: http://www.freewebs.com/divineavenger/index.html Description =========== This is Gandalf a Custom Race Nord but with all High Elf stats and specials. It is completely based off of the awesome CM Partners Mod from Cutthroat Mods by Blackie http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819 Requirements ============ CM Partners Mod Basic - Download and install the latest files here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7819 (The only files needed to run this Partner is the CM Partners.esp and the CM Partners.esm and of course the .esp from this mod) Latest oblivion patch. http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm I highly suggest to download this mod for the Gandalf Hat if you want a Gandalf the Grey. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11014 And this mod that will help to keep him wearing his awesome hat as it is set up for the amulet slot, tail slot items seem not to work with companions. I did go through and try to enable most robes to show amulets already in the Gandalf esp. Only get this if he puts on armor. Keep in mind that it works only for vanilla clothing and armor. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5534 Details ======= Gandalf is a Pure Mage type and is very skilled in casting spells of destruction and conjuration. He is looking for a partner to travel and adventure with. He was last seen practicing his wizardry in an Inn just North of the Imperial City. Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location (your PC\'s desktop for example). 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files Meshes, Textures, and the DAGandalf.esp to \"Program Files\\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\Data\" 4. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a check mark beside DAGandalf.esp, CM Partners.esm, and CM Partners.esp and any other CM Partner esps that you want to add to your game. 5. Remember Blackie\'s CM Partners mod basic is needed for this mod to function. Blackie has supplied excellent documentation that explains most of the options for this companion mod so please take the time and read it. Misc. ===== If you are using my other companions Tamara, Raewyn, Aanila, Gimli, or Gandalf it is OK to overwrite the CM Partners.esm, and the CM Partners.esp as they are both compatible with one another. You can use the Party commands now too. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12184 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12082 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12134 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12161 http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12299 A great thing about this companion is that it is completely compatible with all of the Animation mods out there. Example: trollf\'s Actors in charge. The animation spells work well.
