TGND2 FCOM Replacer v1.0.0
Assembled and tweaked by Manks


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

Converts all female armors added by FCOM Convergence to fit to The Girl Next Door v2 body. Also adds female versions where none previously existed. Compatible w/TGND 2.1B and FCOM 9.9Mb3. Incorporates UFCOM and FCOM Warcry 1.09 Patch.


======= 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).

FCOM 9.9b (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12249). Given FCOM's complexity, I have to assume that you already know how to install it. If not, go here: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1324714-relz-fcom-convergence/ and good luck.

(Recommended) TGND2 Vanilla Armor Patch, version 1.0.2 or greater (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41811).

(Recommended) TGND2 Frans Replacer (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41930), WarCry Replacer (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41937), OOO Replacer (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41928), and MMM Replacer (http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=41946).


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

Installation order will depend on whether or not you use the FCOM BSA or install loose files. If you use the BSA, order doesn't matter but do handle archive invalidation. Both Wyre Bash and OBMM do this for you. If you use loose files, install the replacer *after* FCOM.


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

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

2. In Wyre Bash, go to the installers tab. If necessary, make sure that the replacer is located *after* the FCOM installer.

3. Click on the package name from the list. Under the sub-packages area, make sure "0 Core" is checked.

4. Pick one of the folders that start with "1". OOO and MMM are required for FCOM, but Frans and OWC are optional (I believe).

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

6. Run BOSS, or adjust the load order manually. Load after everything F, C, O, M, or FCOM related.

7. 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 archive somewhere safe.

2. Drag the contents of "0 Core" into your oblivion/data directory.

3. Pick the appropriate esp from the folders starting with "1". Drop that into your oblivion/data directory.

4. Sort and activate the esps, as in the BAIN directions above.

6. If necessary, handle archive invalidation. Instructions are at: (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/Oblivion_Mods_FAQ#Archive_Invalidation).


=== DETAILED DESCRIPTION ===

Converts all female FCOM 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. Also adds female versions to armors where none existed.

Unfortunately, I've never run FCOM so I don't know if I got everything. There are only three self-evident sets of armor, but some files in the realswords folder that seem like potential candidates but I couldn't tell if they are obtainable in game. If you know if realswords/goblin/vanir is used by FCOM, please let me know. For somewhat obvious reasons, I also didn't convert "fatgreendressf.nif" or "fatsmith.nif".

As a graphics conversion, the esp should be safe to merge into your Bashed patch. Furthermore, you should be able to use TES4Gecko to merge all of the related replacers. I'd do it myself, but there are a lot of options.

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


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

Version 1.0.0 - 04/06/2012
initial release


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

I managed to get this off using only bits of vanilla meshes and TGND basic body with no original content being repackaged. Consequently, redistribution is possible so long as you credit the original artists.

If you wish to redistribute something that uses a body-part mesh, cite the folks listed under "Body parts" in the credits. Otherwise, to redistribute any armors, cite those listed under "Armors" in the credits. Cite the FCOM artists too, as there'd be nothing to redistribute without them.


======= TOOLS USED =========

Blender 2.49b
Nifskope 1.1.0-RC5
PyFFI 2.2.0
TES4Edit 3.0.15

--- TGND Body and Meshes ---

All 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.

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.


And finally, Bethesda, for making all this possible.
