📋 About This Mod
Please note that you must download ALL the files into the same directory and un-RAR the first file for this texture pack to unarchive correctly. Additionally, you will need to remove the 28378 in each file`s names, or else the files will not un-rar correctly. From the Readme Bomret\'s Texture Pack: Shivering Isles Version 1. 0 Introduction: Because many people wanted a texture replacer for Shivering Isles and I always wanted to try my own texture pack, I deceided to just do it. I kept close to Bethesdas original textures and tried to make it visually compatible with QTP3. After months of hard work in which I\'ve gained a lot of experience (and some grey hairs) I really hope that you like the result. This pack replaces many of the textures of the Shivering Isles with new, higher res ones. Special Features: - altered MipMaps to reduce tiling, make the textures look sharper in the distance, power up the parallax effect and some other fancy stuff. - altered meshes to take advantage of the engines parallax shader where the texture benefits from it. - advanced normal map techniques to make the landscape look more 3D. - Detiled Normal Maps (Thanks to Chainsaw XIV.) - Uploader\'s Note: It appears that I uploaded my PyFFI\'d versions of these files rather than the original files. I have gone through all the textures in the game world to verify that the PyFFI process did not cause any issues, but if anyone does find a problem please let me know and I will change out the original file. What has been changed: New Sheoth (Crucible, Bliss, Palace, Arden Sul etc.) Landscapes Statues Ruins Rootcaves Rocks Obelisks Clutter (Stuff like rugs, tombstones etc.) Installation: I STRONGLY RECOMMEND MAKING AN OMOD BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY FILES INCLUDED! How to create an OMOD: http://lhammonds.game-host.org/obmm/tutorial_create_omod.asp Extract the included \"textures\" and \"meshes\" folders to Oblivion/Data and use one of the various archive invalidation methods. If you just want to test this package, I recommend creating an Omod with the Oblivion Mod Manager! Play! Un-Installation: If you have created an Omod, just delete it. Otherwise there\'ll be a lot of work. You have to compare the files from this acrhive with the ones in your Data folder and delete them one by one. You can do it faster by making an OMOD, activating and deactivating and deleting it. Next time you start Oblivion, it will use the stock textures again. Known Issues/Bugs: In some places there are visible seams where one texture meets another. That\'s mainly because of the meshes. Because I lack the skills to solve this myself, put all your hope into the USIP Team ;) Incompatabilities: All mods that alter the textures of Shivering Isles except they only alter the colors of my textures. Final words: If you encounter a bug contact me so I can fix it. Contact: You can find me on the officia
