White Suran 2 - MD Edition
==========================
by Melchior Dahrk & basswalker
v1.2


Description
=======================
I don't like most of the unique city textures mods, but White Suran is the exception. In my mind, Suran is the "Pearl of the Ascadian Isles," the "Lady of the Nabia." So, with that mindset, it just makes sense that Suran should feature glistening whitewashed walls. And so, basswalker's White Suran is a nice addition to any game to help diversify the land.

Basswalker's mod was great but it had a couple deficiencies. Namely that the interiors were not matched to the exteriors which was inconsistent, a single wall under the silt strider port was missed in the replacement. The building meshes used a texture which stood out because the color was mismatched and it was at a higher resolution; I have replaced that texture with something matched more closely to the rest of the textures.

So, this mod adds matching interiors to the buildings in Suran, fixes the missing wall, homogenizes textures, and includes a minor patch for Vurt's Ascadian Isles II (there is a willow tree in Suran which bleeds excessively into some statics around it.


Installation
=======================
Simply copy the files into your Data Files folder and activate the appropriate .esps.

WhiteSuran2_MD_edition.esp is the main file; activate this if you want all the updates I've made to basswalker's mod: the wall fix, the interiors, and the altered/homogenized building textures are all included (do NOT used with basswalker's original WhiteSuran2.esp)

WhiteSuran2_Interiors.esp only adds matching white interiors to Suran (requires basswalker's WhiteSuran2.esp)

WhiteSuran2_fix_wall.esp only fixes the unreplaced wall (requires basswalker's WhiteSuran2.esp)

Whether or not you use Slartibast's Poorly Placed Object Fix, you may be interested in using WhiteSuran2_PPOF_Patch.esp, created by feastsun, which fixes the placement of several objects in Suran, based on Slart's work and feastsun's own investigation. This fix for White Suran 2 is also a compatibility patch for Slart's PPOF mod. Use the patch if you use Slart's mod, or use it even if you don't - look at the screenshots to make your decision (I recommend using this patch).

If you use Suran Underworld, activate WhiteSuran2_Suran Underworld Addon.esp to make the abandoned house in Suran use the unique textures added by this mod (requires WhiteSuran2.esp or WhiteSuran2_MD_edition.esp and Suran Underworld)

If you have Vurt's Ascadian Isles II installed, consider using WhiteSuran2_patch_vurt.esp to alleviate some bleeding present otherwise (requires WhiteSuran2.esp or WhiteSuran2_MD_edition.esp)


Credits
=======================
The textures included in this mod are taken from "Vibrant Morrowind 4.0" so credits go to Skydye and Headless Wonder for creating these textures.

@ Basswalker - for originally making White Suran 2, on which this edition is heavily based.
@ Feastun - for noticing the incompatibility between White Suran 2 and Slart's PPOF and    taking the initiative to fix it - as well as some other things missed by both mods.
@ Bethesda - for the spark of inspiration which led to the creation of this wonderful game
@ Melchior Dahrk - I just did everything else

Thanks Xargoth!


Also, someone mind moving this into my subforum, I forgot to change it :facepalm:

Looks nice, Mel. I may get a wild hair and use it, but I'd have to upgrade about 10 other mods.

Hahah, that'd be quite a bit of work DG. This would have taken a lot more time for me if I used an expansion mod for Suran.

Feastsun has made a wonderful patch for some conflicts between this mod and Slartibartfast's Poorly Placed Objects Fix 1.2. The patch can be used with or without PPOF - so it can be used simply as an aesthetic fix for White Suran 2 itself!

So, go download the mod again.

And thank feastsun for this! He also found a pillar which me and basswalker failed to replace. So you'll want to use the new main plugin file as well.

Nice to see this, until now I didnt know this existed. I feel somewhat honored...and ashamed because there were issues with my mod that I did not know about.

Basswalker! Dang it, I don't check these threads as much as I should.

I'm sorry for the mixed feelings. Your mod is awesome. Me adding the interiors was just an increase in the scope of the mod, not an issue with your mod. Your White Suran inspired me. I love the new look. Thanks for such an awesome mod!

Added an extra file to add matching ground textures to Suran thanks to Reizeron. I highly recommend it!
