[-{Description}-]
This started out as a little project that I might use as a new tileset in Otherworldly Goods and/or the Biomechanical Race mods, but a couple people said it'd be cool to release it as a separate retexture pack for all Dwemer Ruins.

This retexture pack contains several meshes, for two reasons-one, there are parts of the Dwemer textures that are normally shared with other parts of the Morrowind world-in order to prevent for instance an eggmine texture being changed everywhere in the game, I created a new texture and then changed the property in the mesh to point to that new texture. The second reason is because I use a lot of glow-mapping and some pseudo bump-mapping, which requires new properties to be added to the meshes. It does mean an increased file size, but it also means everything looks more awesome and unique. Also, the Dwemer helmet has been "remeshed" with new parts in order to make it look more interesting, at some point I intend to release a separate version of this with only the new helmet-perhaps even as a separate item.

This is the beta test-although everything should probably work correctly, I want to make absolutely sure. The thread you likely found the download for this mod from has more details about the Beta-Testing process and a claim system involving inspections of all the Dwemer ruins.

[-{Installation}-]

It should be pretty simple. Just copy the Data Files folder over the Data Files folder in the Morrowind directory, which should be something like:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind

Say yes to any folder or file overwriting notifications.

[-{Uninstallation}-]

A bit of a trickier proposition. Since this is a retexture pack, you can't just remove it from the game be deactivating an .esp.

I recommend using Yacoby's Texture Manager Program: http://rapidshare.com/files/111247391/Texture_Manager.zip.html

That's a temporary link. I haven't personally tested the program and it is in Beta, which for a program will be much longer a process than for this mod. However, it should help with removing most of the textures that overwrite the Bethesda ones-there will be some others which will linger on your hard drive more than likely, such as the glow and bump map textures, as well as all the unique textures I mentioned before.

It's best to keep a back-up of this archive somewhere where you can find it and use it as a reference for finding the textures and meshes which this mod installs.

Please do not use anything from this retexture pack for your mods-I will be releasing a modder's resource edition of this mod in the near future.

so no one has offered to beta test this? I'll give it a go, I'll choose a few at random to check out.
