EngineBugFixes

Description

===========

EngineBugFixes is an OBSE plugin containing bug fixes for the Oblivion game engine.

It distinguishes two types of engine modifications:

1) Fix    Fixes something that probably everyone would consider a bug.

2) Patch    Changes something that may or may not be considered a bug but which I felt could be improved.

See below for a current list of fixes/patches.

Detailed information about each fix/patch can be found in the readme file.

All fixes and patches can be enabled/disabled separately to ensure maximum compatibility with other OBSE plugins.

1) Extract the files to a temporary location.

2) Copy the files in the Data folder to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\

1) Delete the files/folders associated with the mod.

To enable a particular fix or patch set its value in the INI file to 1. To disable, set the value to 0.

Source Code

===========

The included source code (separate download) gives you an overview of the locations in the engine that will be patched

as well as a general insight into the patches themselves.

However, it is currently NOT possible to compile the plugin from the code as it is missing the project that recreates

the game engine classes and maps functions to memory addresses.

This project is HUGE and currently not for share (not in a sharable state anyway...).
