Ls More Butterflies and Fireflies
Version: 5.0

===================
CHANGES MADE IN 5.0
===================
The script for moving around the Fairies and Fireflies has been improved and is more efficient.

============
INSTALLATION
============
Copy and paste or drag the .ESP file into your Oblivion Data folder.

Place the Textures and Meshes folders into your Oblivion Data folder. 

Only use one .esp, do not use more than 1 file at a time.


==========
LOAD ORDER
==========
Load after Oblivion.esm and other mods.


=========
IMPORTANT
=========
This is for Oblivion only, not Shivering Isles.  I do not know if they will show up in Shivering Isles or
not, but they probably will.  I do not own Shivering Isles yet.

Some lower end machines may find the increase in Butterfly and Firefly statics demanding.  Also the way in 
which the statics are randomly generated uses a MoveTo command for NPCs that are disabled and quest scripts,
and this could be taxing for lower end machines.

Personally I have found no real difference in performance.


=========
KOWN BUGS
=========
When using "Ls More Butterflies and Fireflies.esp" you will see them inside Oblivion caves and towers.  This 
is because Oblivion caves and towers are considered interiors.

"Not In Interiors.esp" stops this happening, but also stops them appearing inside any interior, like the 
players home for example.

Some clipping may occur if butterflies spawn near rocks etc, there is nothing much I can do about that.  
Also in interiors they can clip with walls.

I have not tested for conflicts with other mods, but there shouldn't be any.

Please let me know if you find any at all.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

================
WHAT DOES IT DO?
================
I decided I wanted to increase the feel of a fantasy world and make Oblivion more pretty.

I have added randomly placed Butterflies, Moths, Fireflies, Dragonflies and Fairies that appear in a radius
of 4000 units, which is just under the size of one cell.  

They will randomly appear and then disappear after a 10 - 50 seconds and appear somewhere else.

There will be up to 22 Butterflies, 15 moths and 6 Fireflies, 6 Fairies and 4 Dragonflies within a cell at 
any given time.  (I plan to increase this, amongst other things, in later releases when I have time).

Butterflies and Dragonflies only appear during the day when it is not raining or snowing.  They will rarely
appear at night.

Moths appear during the day and night.  They will not appear during rain or snow.  I decided to add them
to the day because they look a bit like butterflies and it just adds more colour to the day when they
are with butterflies.

Fireflies and Fairies appear day and night in all weather conditions.

None of either will appear in Oblivion.

"Ls More Butterflies and Fireflies Not In Interiors 4.0.esp" just makes interiors off limits incase you 
don't like them in your houses.

The 2 versions with "Halved" at the end of their file names reduce the amount of butterflies etc by half.

The 2 versions with "Quarter" at the end of their file names reduce the amount of butterflies etc to one
quarter.

There are now "Without Fairies" versions for all files.  These versions remove the fairies.  The meshes and 
textures files are stll required, for the new butterflies and dragonflies.
