4. Detailed list of modifications.
*****************************************************************
The following fixes or improvements have been included into this
pack.
ADVANCED PARALLAX TECHNIQUE: in some texture I manually tuned
mipmaps levels of the displacement map, in a way similar to BTQ
mod. This allowed a greater flexibility in tuning close to mid
range parallax effect.
"LEYAWIIN BLINKING DOOR BUG": an old and never fixed glitch coming
from parallax cities has been fixed (well, at least I hope...)
FORTRUINS: major update. In response to frequent complains about
the quality of parallax effect in this section, almost all
displacement maps have been re-designed from scratch, in order
to achieve a tasteful 3D effect.
CASTLES: even if they were quite good also in first version, they
have been tuned for a more realistic stone pop out effect.
RUNESTONES: the project of making glyphs carving has been
abandoned Runestones are no more parallaxed, and that's the
reason behind mesh removal during installation. Runestone patch
is now useless
STONEWALLS: the close range soup reported by Qarl has been fixed.
Some minor tweaks for cheydinhal stonewalls.
NORMAL MAP FIX: included. No more need for the fix.

*****************************************************************
BethSoft for making this great game.
Oblivionrules42, for being the first to develop the idea of
parallaxing textures in his three mods (not included here).
Rulz, as most of his meshes and some of his textures are included
in this pack, not to mention he kindly explained me how to
parallax textures.
Qarl for his state-of-the-art pack, upon which most of this mod is
based, not to mention some great hints in normal map generation
which proved very effective in displacement mapping.
Dev_akm, for his skingraad roof textures which have been parallaxed
and added to this mod and for his TOTO website, which is increasing
greatly the popularity of this mod.
Jglor,Numbnuts for tracking down some bugged normal maps
