I. Purpose:

To allow modders the use of these items in their plugins. This originally started out as 
a personal request by Miltiades because he wanted to have some fancy chinese/Akaviri style 
Dragon statues for himself and someone else. But because he was so happy with them and 
couldn't bear to keep these items for himself, he wanted to share them with the community.

In this pack you will find:

- A Dragon statuette made out of crystal (A nice and small statue to adorn tables and stuff)
- A Dragon statuette made out of jade (A nice and small statue to adorn tables and stuff)
- A large statue of a Dragon made out of jade (Approximately 2 times as big as a person)

Feel free to alter the textures on these statues (with NIFtexture or other tool) as you like. The crystal and jade versions in this archive were simply used because they looked pretty. So a statue completely made out of stone or ebony would also look awesome!

II. Using the File:

To use this Mod, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files directory on your harddrive. 
They should find their own directories from there.

Crystal_Dragon_Statue.NIF 	- should go into Meshes/Milt
Jade_Dragon_Statue.NIF 		- should go into Meshes/Milt
Jade_Dragon_Statuette.NIF 	- should go into Meshes/Milt
Icon_Milt_Crystal_Dragon.TGA 	- should go into Icons/
Icon_Milt_Jade_Dragon.TGA 	- should go into Icons/
Tx_Milt_Crystal_Dragon.TGA 	- should go into Textures/
Tx_Milt_Jade_Dragon.TGA 	- should go into Textures/

Dragon_Statue_TEST.ESP 		- for testing purposes, and should only be used if you want
				  to look at the models ingame. By activating it, one giant
				  static statue and two misc item statuettes will be placed
				  in the center of Seyda Neen. The esp has been cleaned with
				  TESAME.

The three jpeg-images do not need to go anywhere. They are just to show you how the models look.

****************************************************************************************

III. List of Changes:
	
There are no changes made to the game (because there is no real esp file; only a test-esp). This is simply a modder's resource. So go make me an awesome chinese/Akaviri castle with guardian statues, statuettes, dojos, armor, quests and stuff! :)

****************************************************************************************

IV. Known Issues:
	
As long as the items get set up in the editor like normal (as static or misc item; haven't yet tested it as activator), there should be no problems.

V. Credits:
	
The model used for the Crystal Dragon was found on the website of the Stanford University Computer Graphics Laboratory. The model may be used, as long as it is not used for commercial purposes, nor a part in a product for sale (so simply creating free mods with it should be no problem). 

The model used for the Jade Dragon was found on a website with free models; the original creator is sadly unknown to us.

Raven (a.k.a: Ki_Shin_Ju ) - For converting and adapting the Crystal Dragon for use in Morrowind

John Barbosa (a.k.a. JB.) - For converting and adapting the Jade Dragon for use in Morrowind as well as providing the Jade texture.

Miltiades (a.k.a. some Daedric historian) - For cramming all the stuff together in the archive and Test-esp.

Nigedo (a.k.a. the hero of the day) - For creating a set of icons and setting up transparency behind the icons after Miltiades failed miserably. (yay! - Milt)
