======== TOP MATTER ========

TGND2 OOO Replacer v1.0.2
Assembled and tweaked by Manks


========= SUMMARY ==========

Converts all female armors in Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul to fit to The Girl Next Door v2 body. Also adds female versions where none previously existed. Compatible w/TGND 2.1B and OOO 1.33, 1.34b5, and 1.35b.


======= REQUIREMENTS =======

The Girl Next Door Female Body and Clothing Replacer by Luchaire and Kalia, version 2.1b or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=30914).

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul by the OOO Team version 1.33, 1.34b5 (http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=3953), or 1.35b (http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/1103-beta-obscuros-oblivion-overhaul/).

(Recommended) TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch, version 1.0.3 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41811).


======= INSTALLATION =======

For OOO versions 1.33 and 1.34, install this conversion *after* you have installed one or the other of those, as this will overwrite some of the OOO files. For that matter, those versions of OOO will overwrite some of TGND's files, so ideally install OOO first, then TGND and conversion.

BAIN
----------------------------

1. Drop the release archive into your BASH Installers Folder.

2. In Wyre Bash, go to the installers tab. If you are using OOO 1.33 or 1.34, make sure that this conversion is listed after OOO. Position relative to TGND shouldn't matter, although TGND should also be below OOO 1.33 and 1.34. Position irrelevant relative to OOO 1.35.

3. Click on the package name from the list. Under the sub-packages area, make sure "00 Core" is checked.

4. If desired, select the sub-package for less revealing armor.

5. Select one, and only one, of the sub-packages starting at "10" corresponding to the version of OOO that you wish to use.

6. Right click the package name from the main installer list and select install.

7. (Optional) Run BOSS, or adjust the load order manually. Load after TGND and OOO esps.

8. (Optional) Rebuild your bashed patch.


OMOD
----------------------------

I don't use OBMM, so while the mod has OMOD conversion data available, I can't say exactly how it will work. Presumably, install like any other OMOD-ready mod. Install after OOO 1.33 or 1.34, and after TGND.


MANUAL
----------------------------

1. Extract the contents of the archive somewhere safe.

2. From there, drag and drop the contents of the "00 Core" folder directly into your oblivion/data directory.

3. If desired, follow that up by dragging the contents of 01 into the same place.

4. Pick one of the ESPs in the other numbered folders, corresponding to the different verisons of OOO. Drag and drop that into your oblivion/data directory as well.

5. Sort and activate the esps, as in BAIN directions above. The conversion needs to be after TGND and OOO in your load order.

6. If using OOO 1.35, handle archive invalidation. Instructions are at: (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Oblivion_Mods_FAQ#Archive_Invalidation). Not necessary for OOO 1.33 and 1.34.


=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===

Converts every single one of the female OOO armors/clothing to the TGND body type. The typical TGND treatment includes a slightly larger butt, bit of a tummy, thinner wrists, flatter chest, and smaller feet.

The ESPs are actually compatibility patches as well as conversions, as they prevent TGND and OOO from overwriting each others' changes in addition to adding new female versions of armor. The first part is really only for those who don't use a Bashed patch, while for those of you who do, feel free to merge the ESP.

New as of v1.0.1: includes an option for "less revealing/more practical" armors, including: shadowmail greaves, storm cuirass and greaves, black glass cuirass and greaves, worn chainmail cuirass, and worn iron greaves.

A word of warning: OOO is huge with thousands of records and hundreds of files. It is highly likely that I made a mistake somewhere. Please don't hesitate to report any bugs.

In addition, I tried to only convert items included with OOO that are actually used. I might have missed some, or included a few that can't actually be obtained in game. Let me know if that is the case.

Finally, some of the armor sets were done rather hastily, as they were pick-and-mixes from vanilla sources. Some clipping might have been introduced as a result. Let me know and I'll take a look into resizing/reweighting.

Side notes:
All meshes have been optimized with PyFFI-py3k 2.2.0
The esps should be clean
Comments are always welcome


========= CHANGES ==========

Version 1.0.2 - 04/16/2012
Fixed wrist material property for amazon full body outfits
Fixed mesh paths for caped imperial palace cuirasses

Version 1.0.1 - 04/16/2012
Removed skin poking through on braided dress.
Removed extraneous 2-sidedness from robes deriving from white wizard
Originally failed to notice that the dmithril set uses blackwood pauldrons. Swapped them in
Redid the unfinished orcish cuirass as it had bits of pauldron stuck to the back
Updated the robes to match vanilla armor patch v1.0.3
Removed a bit of flesh from the amazon full-body outfits
Updated uses of the huntswoman top to be smaller and have fewer gaps
Removed the accidently included specular property from the green unisex pants
Spent some more time on the shadowmail cuirass, restoring the belt and UV map and smoothing out the waist and hips. Also synced the pauldron textures
Added a set of less revealing/more practical, optional, armors
Several pieces had their "skin" material renamed, causing the flesh parts to appear incorrect in game.
Went through all the meshes with Nifskope and compared their properties to the originals. Hopefully synchronized them all.

Version 1.0.0 - 04/01/2012
initial release


====== REDISTRIBUTION ======

A few things before I get into the details:
1) I don't much want any credit for any of this, I'm really only interested in bringing a body type I think is great to some mods that I also think are great.
2) I also don't want to make it any harder than it needs to be for this stuff to be shared, so whatever contributions are "mine", do with whatever you please.
3) However, the vast majority of files included are available under restrictions and it is certainly necessary to point out that they can be traced back to the hard work of a variety of excellent artists.

That out of the way, the following sets of armor require no modification and/or redistribution of the original artistic assets. To redistribute these, cite the names for TGND body and armor parts listed in the credits.

javbmb/javbs/javrmb, snowfur, braided/hbraided/dread armor (sans hbraided cuirass), chainbikini, ey_cca/ey_qma, darkglass, darkrose, dbimperialguard/legionelhoim, va, gray fox armory/gray fox leather, griffin, growlf, daedriclava, ivory, noble plate, bglass/rglass/elveneldar/elvenedlar2/elveneldar3/bmithril/dmithril/gmithril/rleather, autumrobe/bloodrobe/blueandwhite/damagedrobe/dwarvenpreist (sic)/elvenrobe/robemageoftheforest/royalbluerobe/underkingrobe/wood elven robe, kdrobes/vella, whiterose, worn*, hf1



shadowmail involves reuse of original meshes, but is made avaiable under attribution by the original artist, NorrabMaster. hf2 is available under attribution and provided that you shoot the artists an email (Jerros and LHammonds). To redistribute these, do that, and then also cite TGND body and armor credits as some of those bits ended up in there as well.



The following mesh folders use non-vanilla geometry, UV maps, or both, and no information on redistribution is accessible. I have attempted to contact the authors with varying degrees of succcess, and if notified that they do not want their work re-released, I'll pull it immediately. If you wish to redistribute, note that you may have to pull them as well.

--- TGND Body and Meshes ---

Most of the armors are retextures/mesh swaps from Vanilla, so this effort relies heavily on The Girl Next Door Female Body and Clothing Replacer and my own TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch. Where no equivalent mesh existed, the armor was refit directly.

Body parts:

They derive from TGND by Luchaire and Kalia, assisted by Chingari, Sickleyield, Kristoffer, and Alt3rn1ty. Tracing the work way back, it originated with Exnem and Raiar and their Exnem and HGEC bodies.

The arms were inspired by Team Fantasy Figures by AcidRain, Corwyn, Daede, Kalikut, Oubliette, Robert, and SickleYield.

Robert's female feet were adapted by Luchaire. Credits: Robert, Drazius, Baron B, AmberAder, Edhildil, RomanAder, and Coronerra.


Vanilla meshes:

Primarily from TGND armor replacer, whose existence is due to Luchaire and Kalia but can be traced to EVE HGEC Eyecandy Variants Expansion (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=24078). Project credits are Axil, Corepcmmp, Grhys, Gudwyn, MadCat221, Morphan, Lol9, Sm0ken1nfin8, Zinni, and xFrancis147.


Extra addition:

There were some naughty bits visible on some of Growlf's armors which I think are somehow textured out on a vanilla body. Instead, I've opted to add a thong, taken from Lingerie and Underwear for TGND by Luchaire (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=33113), itself based on R18PN 02 - Lingerie Set for HGEC by NPR (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=23589).


And finally, Bethesda, for making all this possible.
