1. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN/Uninstalling

*****

To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files
directory. This file was zipped with WinAce.

To uninstall: You can easily get rid of the files manually since all the meshes are located in the DMP01a folder, all the icons are in the DMP01a folder and all the textures start with DMP.

2. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

*****

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next
to the Donna's Paintings esp. Head to the Hlaalu Waistworks in Vivec. The art gallery is located in one of the long side hallways. All of the paintings are on disply so you can look before you buy. No, you can not steal them since the display paintings are set as activators. All the paintings can be bought from the art gallery assistant and come complete with Dracus's Painting Script for ease of placement.

To place a painting, simply set one down on the floor near a wall, click the picture, then click "position" and use the X, Y, Z buttons to center it on the wall. You can move the pictures in increments of 1, 5, and 10 which makes it easy and quick. Kudo's to Dracus for this wonderfully helpful script.

Painting prices range from 200 to about 85,000 so if you love one of the paintings in the upper gallery, you better bring mucho gold.

Please note that the art gallery is not decorated with lots of items.
This is because there are 62 paintings on display and I didn't want
people with slower machines to have to wait all day for the cell to load.

3. Save Games and Requirements

*****

This plugin should not invalidate your old saved games, but you should
always make a backup prior to installing any new plugin. If you save
your game while this plugin is loaded, you will encounter error messages when you reload the saved game without the plugin, but you should be able to continue on with the original game if you simply click past them.

This esp does not require anything other than Morrowind so you can use
it without either of the expansions.

4. Artists

*****

Many of the artists featured in this plugin are unknown. Some is artwork that I have done myself and some is work done by far, far greater artists than myself (IE, Monet.) Some of the artwork are screenshots of landscaping, houses and very pretty ladies I created using the texture work of many modders including CanadianIce, Sheikizza, Rhedd, Don Salus, and JD Spencer. My apologies to anyone I may not have included.

Special thanks to CanadianIce who did not even know she helped me but her website pointed me to all the handy retexturing tools. Her website can be found here: http://members.shaw.ca/miss-stephanie/Morrowind/
BTW, if you're a female playing Morrowind and you haven't downloaded every single one of her plugins, you're missing out on a lot of fun.

5. Contact

*****

This is not the first plugin I have created but it is the first
I've ever uploaded. This plugin was was cleaned with TESTool and then
double checked with TESME just to be sure. I have played with the plugin extensively and have not encountered any bugs but you never know. Bug reports can be emailed to Ysmene@comcast.net. Comments and suggestions are also welcome.

PS: I may add an extension to the gallery at some point if people seem to enjoy the plugin so if you have any great art you'd like to see added and don't know how to retexture, drop me a line.
