4. Revert any esp's which were modified to utilize the lashes back to a prior form.

Upgrade
=======
1. Uninstall of a pre-6.4 version is not required.
2. Install the new mod and update any race modifications as desired.
3. Start oblivion and play. There is no effect on saved games and this mod cannot corrupt any saves.

Incompatibility
===============
None Known

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
1. It is recommended to use the Large Textures option in your video settings.
Lashes may not appear correctly if medium or small textures are used.

2. The Orc head morphs are significantly different. The lashes fit but do not morph or animate.
This is unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

3. Since the eyelash meshes use alpha, problems will be encountered with eyelashes disappearing
under alpha-enabled hairs unless a DXT1 1-bit alpha texture format is used. This is a limitation
of the game engine and cannot be fixed.

4. Regardless of which Head/Eyelash combination is used, there may be a small gap between the
lashes and face. We currently don't have a fix for this, most of the conditions for this are
in specific face morphs, the assymetrical ones in particular. Or sometimes when an actors' eyes
move around. Right now, the only workaround for this issue is to alter the face of the character
until a better match is made. -Sorry!

5. Although all male and female head meshes are supported, the head is not gender specific in the CS, so
if male and female lashes for different heads are to be used,a separate custom race must be created.

6. Asianmlash now morphs correctly and has been fixed.

7. There have been reports of lashes appearing blocky or distorted when using the merged teeth to free a slot. Try
using the merged mouth and putting the lashes in the tongue slot instead. The problem appears to be mipmaps in the merged teeth texture.

7. Some lash meshes that are not needed may be removed from a future release...cutelash should use ren1lash instead, and colflash/colmlash should use tkflash/tkmlash. These have been left to avoid causing undue maintenance.

8. if eyelashes do not appear as expected, especially if using Halonman21's esp, check the following:
a) scanti's resources are required and have been added as of this update.
b) make sure you put the esp last if other esps modify the race.
c) make sure you assigned the texture correctly.
d) make sure you update your bashed patch if using one.

This is a modder's resource. If you use any of the content from this mod in your mod, please
credit jclyde6108 and throttlekitty for the meshes and the authors listed above for any texture
you use. All included meshes, egm files and tri files were original or derived from Bethesda meshes.

The following mods are produced by Scanti and included in this mod. Please consult his original readmes in the extras folder:

Please do not upload this mod in its entirety at any site without checking with jclyde6108 or
throttlekitty first, so that we may continue to support this mod without outdated versions running amok.

If we do not respond to a PM at CI&HD or BethSoft within one month, feel free to
do as you wish.


ADDING SUPPORT FOR A NEW HEAD MESH:

If your head is not supported, and you're a DIY type, import your head with the transform in the nif removed.
Import the bethlash.nif file. Rename the mesh and object something appropriate for your head.
Adjust the fit of the lashes to the eye rim vertices on the head. Distort the remainder of the mesh as little as possible.
Do not skin or rig the lash mesh. If your head mesh does not have the same number of vertices around the eye rim,
or if you subdivide the ash mesh or alter the vertex order in any way, your eyelashes will probably fit but not animate
or morph in game. Also do not edit the uv of the lash planes unless you plan to make a custom texture.

Export the lash nif when you are done, using the standard Oblivion settings. Make sure Export Skin Partition,
Flatten Skin, and Stripify is OFF if you are using Blender.
Open your new nif. Open a new window. Also load bethlash.nif. Copy and paste the stringextradata branch from bethlash to

your nif. Close the new window.
Set the material setting specular value to white, add alpha to the trishape and set flags to 4845 and
value to 0, and point to one of the available textures (see above). Save the nif, install it in meshes\characters\jc.
In meshes\characters\jc, carefully copy bethlash.egm and rename it to have the same name as your nif but with the egm

extension. Do the same with bethlash.tri, give the copy the same name as your nif.

Note: If you want the lashes for your unsupported race added to a future version of this mod/resource,
send your nif file to jclyde6108 or throttlekitty along with any textures you want added, and your head mesh.

HOW TO ADD EYELASHES TO YOUR GAME:

If you are modifying a race that does not use a supported head mesh, complete the previous section first.

If you're using an existing race or a modded one, the process is the same: Open your race's .esp in the Construction Set,

and go to the Character>Race menu, and click on the 'Face Data' tab.

There are two slots for teeth, Lower and Upper, the leftside box is for selecting the .nif (model), and the rightside box is

for selecting the .dds (texture). Click the Upper teeth slot, and select Scanti's merged teeth nif and dds. Now, click the

Lower teeth slot, and pick the appropriate Eyelash nif file for the head you are using. Use the list below to make your

selection. Please note that matching the wrong eyelash to your races head will cause obvious gaps between the face and

eyelashes. Now select a texture to use, they all work the same for any of the meshes, but provide different options for

you. It's a matter of taste!

Please note that you may find these files from Scanti most helpful:
http://www.oblation.eu/downloads/MergedMouth.7z
http://www.oblation.eu/downloads/MergedTeeth.7z
http://www.oblation.eu/downloads/MergedFangs.7z


After everything has been set up, now go to the 'FaceGen Data' tab, and preview your result. You can press 'A' on the

keyboard to preview all the blinks as well. Be careful not to alter the shape of the face here, as that will affect how

your character looks.-Click OK to finalize your edits, save the .esp an enjoy!
