Description
===========
Replaces the original loading screens with over 1380 unique DarkUI-style loading screens focused on the environment, using personal screenshots and screenshots contributed by community members. There are no "action shots," character portraits, etc. Any loading screens with characters in them are not focused on the character. As of version 0.99, loading screens for the Shivering Isles are included.

Note that some of the loading screens, especially the Shivering Isles ones, may display some quest or plot spoilers due to the location and/or subject matter of the screenshots.

As of version 0.99, this mod REQUIRES the Shivering Isles expansion. Version 0.95 will remain available for download, but all future versions will require Shivering Isles.

From version 0.85 and on, this mod will come in a few different versions. Currently, there is a "No Text" version, an “Original Text” version, and a "Random Quotes" version, which has quotes randomly assigned to each loading screen. Using Darkbirdy's XML, edited by Zarius, and sent to me by ICUP, the loading bar is moved above the load screen, and the text is displayed in the empty area below the load screen. 

It is unlikely that any additional text versions will be created in the near future, but if anyone would like to create their own ESP with different text and release it and/or include it in this mod, please contact me.

Current Options
=========
No Text - Over 1380 screens with no text. The loading bar will still be moved to the top. If you want the bar to remain in its original position, use the XML from "Dark UI Loading Screens" by Darkbirdy instead of the one included with this mod.

Original Text – Over 1380 screens with the original Bethesda text. A few loading screens related to the main quest will only display in their originally intended areas, but the rest will display anywhere. Recommended for people that still want or need to read Bethesda’s lore, hints, information, etc. Loading screens showing the entrance to the Shivering Isles will only display in the Shivering Isles in this version, unlike the other two versions, where these screens can display anywhere.

Random Quotes - Over 1380 screens with random quotes. Currently includes quotes from H.P. Lovecraft, Ernest Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Benjamin Disraeli, J.R.R. Tolkien, Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, Aristotle, William Butler Yeats, Thomas Moore, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau, Rene Descartes, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, C.S. Lewis, Orson Welles, Aesop, George Orwell, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, John Calvin, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Peter Abelard, Blaise Pascal, Winston Churchill, and Horace. "The beliefs, messages, thoughts, values, and quotes of the aforementioned authors do not in any way reflect on the beliefs, messages, thoughts, and values of the author of this mod."

Location
========
Any load screens based on screenshots from Cyrodiil or Oblivion will display anywhere. Any load screens based on screenshots from the Shivering Isles will only display in the Shivering Isles, except load screens showing the Cyrodiil-side entrance to the Shivering Isles, which display anywhere. In the original text version, ALL Shivering Isles loading screens will only display in the Shivering Isles.

Details
=======
Version 3.00 contains over 1380 DarkUI-style loading screens focused on the environment. There are no action shots, character portraits, etc. Any screens with characters are not focused on the character. As of version 0.99, loading screens for the Shivering Isles are included.

As of version 1.85, an altered loading background is included. This background texture is only used for the initial loading screen that appears before the main menu (the one with the large Daedric 'O'). I have included the original background texture in case you do not like my altered version. Instructions for reverting to the original texture can be found towards the end of this readme, under the instructions for removing or disabling individual loading screens.

As of version 1.15, 3 reused and renamed textures are included to replace the loading screen textures used for the additional loading screens added by the Mehrunes Razor DLC. The replacement textures are currently chosen from the existing loading screens. If you wish to use different loading screen textures, simply name an existing loading screen texture (from my mod or another) accordingly to replace my replacements. Of course, if you use one of my loading screen textures, you will have to copy it to another folder, rename it there, and then move it back to the appropriate folder. If you do not have the Mehrunes Razor DLC, you can safely delete or ignore these additional textures.

Eventually, 3 screenshots from Sundercliff Watch will be used specifically for this purpose. Until then, you can just use the existing textures or replace them. As always, if anyone feels like contributing screenshots for this, please do.

You will likely need to use some form of ArchiveInvalidation (BSA Alteration or BSA Redirection are recommended) to have these textures replace the originals. Quarn's ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated, Oblivion Mod Manager, and Wrye Bash are recommended tools for this process.

Note that some of the loading screens, especially the Shivering Isles ones, may display some quest or plot spoilers due to the location and/or subject matter of the screenshots.

As of version 0.99, this mod REQUIRES the Shivering Isles expansion. Version 0.95 will remain available for download, but all future versions will require Shivering Isles.

A similar overall style was used to create all of the loading screens. Most have been darkened or warmed to match the DarkUI. Loading screens for the Shivering Isles have a more varied style to reflect the varied visual style of the Shivering Isles.

Any load screens based on screenshots from Cyrodiil or Oblivion will display anywhere. Any load screens based on screenshots from the Shivering Isles will only display in the Shivering Isles, except load screens showing the Cyrodiil-side entrance to the Shivering Isles, which display anywhere. In the original text version, ALL Shivering Isles loading screens will only display in the Shivering Isles.

Files have been included from Dark UI Loading Screens by Darkbirdy that fix the loading screen interface for Dark UI.

Note: Dark UI Loading Screens is no longer required separately, unless you want the original loading bar with the "No Text" version, in which case, you will need the XML included in Dark UI Loading Screens instead of the one included in this mod.

Install
=======
First, install Dark UI (or DarNified Dark UI). This is not required, but unless you want Dark UI load screens and normal UI for everything else, you should install it. The required files from Dark UI Loading Screens have been included. If you want to keep the original loading bar position while using the No Text version, install the XML from Dark UI Loading Screens instead of the XML included with this mod.

Note: This mod REQUIRES the Shivering Isles expansion.

This archive is distributed in OMOD-Ready format. It allows you to manually extract and install like most other mods but it also allows you to use Oblivion Mod Manager and import this archive with all the settings pre-configured for an OMOD file. Pick which method you are going to use for installation:

Manual Installation
- = or = -
OBMM Installation (Heavily Recommended)

Manual Install
--------------
1. Extract this archive to any folder and then copy the contents to Oblivion's Data folder. You can ignore or delete the "omod conversion data" folder.
2. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, and enable either the No Text ESP, the Original Text ESP, or the Random Quotes .ESP. Do NOT enable more than one of them.
3. If you do not have the Mehrunes Razor DLC, note that there are 3 renamed textures (load_dungeon_roots.dds, load_cave.dds, and load_dungeon_bucket.dds) included in the archive to replace additional loading screens added in Mehrunes Razor. If you do not have Mehrunes Razor, you can safely ignore or delete these.
4. You will likely need to use some form of ArchiveInvalidation (BSA Alteration or BSA Redirection are recommended) to have the 3 Mehrunes Razor textures replace the originals. Quarn's Archive Invalidation Invalidated, Oblivion Mod Manager, and Wrye Bash are recommended tools for this process. If you are not using these 3 additional textures, you do not need to use any method of ArchiveInvalidation.

If you do not have Mehrunes Razor, you can safely ignore or delete these.
5. You will likely need to use some form of ArchiveInvalidation (BSA Alteration or BSA Redirection are recommended) to have the 3 Mehrunes Razor textures replace the originals. Quarn's Archive Invalidation Invalidated, Oblivion Mod Manager, and Wrye Bash are recommended tools for this process.

OBMM Uninstall
--------------
1. Start Oblivion Mod Manager.
2. Double-click the name of the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen, click Yes.

Upgrade
=======
Future versions will simply replace the old ESP and come with new loading screen textures. All you will have to do to upgrade is replace the ESP and add the new textures via OBMM or a manual install.

Anyone updating to 2.56 or beyond from earlier versions should find and delete Horse.dds and AyleidCircle.dds from their /Textures/Menus50/Loading folders. This is not critical, but they are unused textures and serve no purpose other than to waste space.

Anyone updating to 0.85 or beyond from earlier versions must disable and/or delete the original Atmospheric Loading Screens.esp. It has been replaced with Atmospheric Loading Screens - Random Quotes.esp, Atmospheric Loading Screens – Original Text.esp and Atmospheric Loading Screens - No Text.esp.

As of version 1.30, update archives are available that only include the new loading screen textures, updated ESPs/Readme, and any other new or updated files.  The installation procedure for these is basically the same. For manual install, follow the same step 1. Allow the ESPs and readme and any other files to be overwritten, pick an ESP, and follow the procedure for the Mehrunes Razor screens. If you already have this mod made into an OMOD, simply use "Add Archive" on the update archive and allow older versions of any updates files to be deleted. Don't forget to update the readme, version number, etc. 

Compatibility
===============
This mod will conflict with other mods that change or replace the original loading screens and/or their text. It should work with any mods that only add new loading screens.

As of version 2.35, all three ESPs are tagged with {{BASH:Graphics,NoMerge}} for use with Wrye Bash. If you are using a mod with altered loading text, such as OOO, you should use the "Import Graphics" feature of the Bashed Patch so that my loading screens will display with OOO's (or any other mod's) altered text and/or have their locations altered by other mods. See the Wrye Bash documentation (http://wrye.ufrealms.net/Wrye%20Bash.html) for instructions and a more detailed explanation. Note that due to the way the Original Text ESP is designed, this is not a perfect solution, as the import will only fix some of the text to conform to other mods (specifically, only on the original loading screens that are replaced).

The other option is simply to load my loading screen ESP after any mod that alters loading screen text or locations. You will lose those changes, but my loading screens, their text, and their locations will remain as they should be.

Users of Phinix Immersive Dark UI who want the long loading bar from that mod should download Shingouki's compatibility mod, Atmospheric Loading Screen and Phinix Dark UI Loading Screen, which is currently available here:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14704

Users of any of Luchaire's DarNified UI texture replacers who want these loading screens to match those new textures should check out Ismelda Lasombra's replacers for this mod:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17059 

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Problems (such as CTDs) may occur rarely; please report them. If you want to be as safe as possible, make a backup of your saves, but there shouldn't be any issues with saved games.

If you get a CTD during loading, it may not be because of this mod. Many mods have the potential to cause instability during fast travel or other loading screen situations that may result in CTDs, or it may just be a random CTD unrelated to any mods. Please report if you encounter more CTDs with one specific text version of this mod, or in specific locations, or if you never see certain loading screens. If you encounter CTDs during loading with this mod and no other mods running, please contact me, especially.

Removing Screens
================
If you find any loading screens that you wish to remove or disable, please follow one of the following procedures after determining the filename of the texture using my Photobucket albums.

1) File Replacement

Pick another loading screen texture from this mod (or another one), or create your own. Rename this texture to be the same as the one in my mod you wish to replace. Replace my texture with your new one manually through OBMM or manually in the appropriate folders. Please note that you should replace both my /Textures/Menus/Loading and my /Textures/Menus50/Loading textures with the appropriate textures that you want to replace. Menus textures are 1024*512, and Menus50 textures are 512*256.

2) CS Replacement

Follow the same procedure as number 2, but instead of adding ZClothesTest (or any other unused or test cell) to the cells, simply click the texture button, and navigate to a new texture. You should navigate to the /Menus/Loading texture. You can either choose an existing texture in my mod or use a different one.

3) CS Disable

Open up the TESCS and load my mod as the active file (with Oblivion.esm). In the Objects window, find the LoadScreens section, under Miscellaneous. Scroll until you see the loading screen with the texture you wish to remove. Double click it. Open the Cells Window (World > Cells), scroll down to ZClothesTest (or any other unused or test cell). Drag ZClothesTest (or any other unused or test cell) into the cell window on the LoadScreen window. Close both windows. Save the mod.

Removing Loading Background
========================
If you do not like the altered loadingbackground.dds included since version 1.85, you will find the original background in each /loading textures directory. It is named loadingbackgroundORIG.dds in the /Menus/Loading folder and loadingbackgroundORIG50.dds in the /Menus50/Loading folder. Simply delete my altered version and rename the ORIG and ORIG50 versions to loadingbackground.dds.

Seeking Screenshots
===============
If you have any screenshots that you think would fit in with the rest of the screens (see Photobucket album), please send them to me. You can send them by email, upload them to a site, etc. Please try to leave them in their original size and quality, if possible. You will obviously receive credit if I use your screenshots.

Here is a list of screenshots I am currently seeking specifically:
*Shivering Isles
*Dungeon interiors (caves, forts, ayleid ruins, mines, etc.)
*Oblivion worlds
*Unique quest-related areas
---Arkved's Tower
---Battle for Bruma, including aftermath.
---The Bloated Float (docked and at sea)
---Benirus Manor basement
---Paradise
---Pale Pass
---Dreamworld
---Painted Realm
*Unique mod-related areas (quest mods, landmasses, interesting locations, new buildings/houses, etc.)
---Unique Landscapes
---Midas Magic (Warlock Dungeons, Astral Realms, etc.)
---The Lost Spires (Spires, Grotto, Archeology Guild, etc.)
---Malevolent
*Bethesda DLC (especially Mehrunes Razor dungeons)
*Snowy/Icy Locations
*Lightning Strikes and Storms
*Underwater

Modders are welcome to contribute screenshots from their mods for some free publicity.

Of course, *any* screenshots are still appreciated, even if they are do not fit the above list. Don't worry if you think your screenshots aren't "good enough," as long as they fit in with the overall style of the current loading screens. They may not be bad at all, and if they are truly "bad", I will do my best to fix them up enough that I can use them.

Additionally, I would gladly accept contributions of already completed (Dark UI) loading screens if you do not want to submit straight screenshots or if you would like to try creating loading screens yourself. These loading screens could be part of a mod you have released or simply screens that you made but have not yet used.

Additional Help - ESPs (Text Options)
============================
If anyone is interested in creating alternate text versions for inclusion in this mod, please contact me. I do not currently have the time or the motivation to create an entirely new text ESP from scratch, but if someone is willing to do the first huge portion of work (setting up the ESP for all of the current screens), I would gladly include it in future releases and handle the subsequent updating of that ESP, if wanted. You would, obviously, receive appropriate credit for your work.

Of course, anyone is welcome to create their own ESPs for this mod and release them on their own, but I would love to include more options.

Usage
======
Anyone is welcome to create alternative or edited ESPs with different text and/or different loading locations. No explicit permission is necessary for this purpose, as long as credit is given to the appropriate, but please contact me if you do so so I can see what is being done.

Anyone is, of course, welcome to create altered XMLs or other loading screen UI assets for use this mod. Obviously, no permission (from me) is necessary, since the UI is not something I have created, but again, please contact me so I can see what is being done. Of course, you will need to obtain any necessary permissions if you make use of UI assets created by someone else (the XML by Zarius, Dark UI from Greybird/Darkbirdy, etc.).

Anyone wishing to retexture the loading screens for an interface other than Dark UI must contact me before releasing the retextured screens.

Please do not use any loading screens in your own, independent loading screen mod without first contacting me.

Legal
======
You must contact me and obtain my permission before repackaging any part of this mod for public release. If I do not respond within 4 weeks, you can repackage this mod for public release as long as this readme is included in its entirety.

In the case that this mod is ever completely unavailable to download (hosting sites go down, it is removed, the download is broken, etc.), please do not re-upload it to any permanent sites without first contacting me. If I don't respond within 4 weeks, anyone has my permission to re-upload this mod as long as the original archive and this readme are kept intact and together.
