Bomrets DeNormal Mapper

Bomret\'s DeNormal Mapper Version 1. 0 Introduction: Since it\'s release Oblivion has put a huge strain on many pc\'s. Meanwhile most people have upgraded their rigs but there\'s still a large number of people who have to struggle with performance issues. That\'s why I created this mod. All normal maps in the game will be replaced with a 2x2 pixels large placeholder normal map except the windows because some problems arised. Oblivion will use much less memory and performance should increase. But all textures will look very flat. Almost every texture in Oblivion needs a normal map so the name of this mod may be somehow irritating. But you won\'t see or feel the placeholders so it works. The mod is also for people who want to see Oblivion in Morrowind look. ;) Installation: I STRONGLY RECOMMEND MAKING AN OMOD BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY FILES INCLUDED! Extract the included \"textures\" folder to Oblivion/Data. As these are only normal maps, you should not need any archive invalidation. If prompted just overwrite. 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. If you have put in the textures like they are and do not have my whole mod, extract the \"Uninstall Bomrets DeNormal Mapper.bat\" into your Oblivion/Data folder and run it. This will delete all normal maps, that come with this pack. Next time you start Oblivion, it will use the stock normal maps again. Customization: It\'s possible to only use some of the normal maps in this package and leave the rest. Just extract the corresponding folder(s) instead of the whole package. E.g.: if you only want the landscape to be \"denormal mapped\" just extract the textures/landscape folder and leave the rest. Known Issues/Bugs: none Incompatabilities: This mod is fully compatible with all other texture mods. Just install my normals after the forementioned and overwrite theirs. The normals will be overwriten with mine then. Final words: If you encounter a bug contact me so I can fix it.
