Roads of Cyrodiil
=================

This mod adds some new roads to the game along with some new bridges to connect them together when the roads cross the Niben or Lake Rumare. It is intended to make travel just a bit easier to manage, especially when accessing the Imperial City island. You no longer have to go clear around to the Weye bridge just to keep dry. Two lesser roads are added to the Imperial Reserve and Great Forest to make travel between Chorrol, Anvil, and Skingrad easier to manage.

This is a combination mod composed of New Roads & Bridges, originally written by Ukrr, and West Roads, originally written by mariedanj. With additional modifications and additions by myself.

Specifically, the following is added:

A road from the south end of Imperial Isle, along the east outer wall of the Arcane University that connects across the lake with the Red Ring Road, not too far east of Pell's Gate.

A road from the north end of the Imperial City that goes around the prison to the east. It then splits from there.

One fork heads north across a bridge and meets the Red Ring Road just west of the Ayleid ruin Sercen. This extends the Silver Road down to the Imperial City.

The other fork goes east across a small bridge and passes along the south side of Fort Urasek, where it meets the Red Ring Road at the intersection with the Blue Road to Cheydinhal. This extends the Blue Road west up to the entry to the Market District of the Imperial City.

A road which originates just west of Cropsford and runs southwest past Cullote to the Niben, where a large bridge spans the river. On the other side, the road contiues south to the Green Road a bit north of Bravil.

The little stubby road to Faregyl is extended all the way west to the Gold Road just east of Skingrad. An inn is situated halfway between the two endpoints along this road. Appropriately called Halfway Inn.

A trail that extends from the road intersection outside of Kvatch on the Gold Road down to the east wall of Anvil at Fort Strand.

A short extension of road over a new bridge from the east side of the small island north of Leyawiin's Oblivion gate, past the Amelion family tomb, and meeting the Yellow Road right outside of Blankenmarch.

A trail from the Silver Road into the hills conecting Bleaker's Way with the rest of civilization.

A short road linking Border Watch with the Green Road.

A road that joins the Gold Road, about halfway between Anvil and Kvatch. This road crosses the high country in the Imperial Reserve, joining the Black Road west of Chorrol. This road was originally part of West Roads.

A road which joins the Gold Road north of Skingrad crossing the Great Forest. It connects to the Black Road east of Chorrol. This is the other road which was originally part of West Roads. I have added to this with a trail that breaks off to Hackdirt, and another which breaks off and leads to Brindle Home.

Several new road markers have been placed along the roads to help guide the way.

Upgrading from West Roads and/or New Roads & Bridges Revised
============================================================

If at some point you have installed either West Roads or New Roads & Bridges Revised (or both) you will need to uninstall them prior to installing this. Filenames and resource paths have changed and forgetting to remove the old files will result in data duplication and conflicts.

You will also need to remove any patches built to support the old mods and replace them with new ones from the Roads of Cyrodiil patch file collection.

However you go about getting rid of the old material is up to you, but it has to go. Once you've completed the removal of the old mods, proceed onward to installation.

Installation - Manual
=====================

Place the ESP from the 00 Core folder in your load order and activate. Place the included mesh and texture files from the 00 Core folder in your Data folder.

Two optional ESP files are included in the 01 Road Records folder for allowing NPCs to use the new roads in their pathing.
For best results, use Wrye Bash 229 or higher and use the "Import Roads" option to select the road file you want. This file should be left deactivated to save an ESP slot for something else.

Use ROC Standard Road Record.esp for games using standard city layouts ( including Open Cities ).
Use ROC - OCReborn Road Record.esp if you have Open Cities Reborn installed.
NPCs who travel through Tamriel should use the new roads if their pathing allows for it.

If you chose not to use Bash, the road file you're using needs to load at the end of your load order for best results.

Installation - BAIN
===================

Install everything in the 00 Core folder.

If you intend to use a road record file, install only one file from the 01 Road Records folder. It is recommended that the file be imported into the Bashed Patch using the import roads feature, then left deactivated to save that slot for something else.

Uninstallation
==============

Deactivate the ESP and load your game.
Remove the Roads of Cyrodiil folder from your meshes and textures.

If you used BAIN, it will cleanly uninstall all the files for you.

Compatibility
=============

This mod runs into surprisingly little trouble, at least as far as I can tell.

A patch is available for use with UL:Imperial Isle. It currently works with either version 1.5 or 1.6, but not older versions.

Load after ElsweyrFaregylRoad.esp if you're using that mod along with the Riverhold mod.

Load after ElsweyrAnequina.esp if you're using that, and be sure you don't still have Riverhold or ElsweyrFaregylRoad.esp when you do.

Works with Open Cities, including Leyawiin Reborn, as long as it loads before them. Same with Open Better Cities and Better Cities.

A patch is available for use with Region Revive - Lake Rumare.

A patch for Shadowcrest Vineyard is available.

A patch for Tcos Alchemy Tower is available.

A patch for Aran Mathi is available.

A patch for DC Fort Akatosh is available.

There is no need for any other UL patches aside from Imperial Isle. Ukrr was either very lucky or deliberately planned around them.

A patch for Let the People Drink is available.

Patch combinations covering LtPD, Open Cities (Outer Districts), and UL:Imperial Isle are also available.

Any other issues will need to be reported so they can be dealt with.

Known Issues
============

Aside from some stubborn grass that's hard to scrape off the roads in the CS, there should be no trouble from this.

Additional Related Resources
============================

Dynamic Map (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/35969) has an overlay for its system which covers vanilla and Elven style maps.
You will need to manually adjust two sections in the Dynamic Map.ini file (not the one wit Base in the name).

This:

set tnoDM.mod to sv_Construct "West Roads.esp"
set tnoDM.x to 294
set tnoDM.y to 448
set tnoDM.w to 504
set tnoDM.h to 435
SetStage tnoDM 20

set tnoDM.mod to sv_Construct "road+bridges.esp"
set tnoDM.x to 200
set tnoDM.y to 326
set tnoDM.w to 1523
set tnoDM.h to 1072
SetStage tnoDM 20[/code]

Must now become:

set tnoDM.base to 1
set tnoDM.mod to sv_Construct "West Roads.dds"
set tnoDM.x to 294
set tnoDM.y to 448
set tnoDM.w to 504
set tnoDM.h to 435
SetStage tnoDM 20

set tnoDM.base to 1
set tnoDM.mod to sv_Construct "road+bridges.dds"
set tnoDM.x to 200
set tnoDM.y to 326
set tnoDM.w to 1523
set tnoDM.h to 1072
SetStage tnoDM 20

There are currently no known static maps which support the combination of material in this mod, but several do exist for the older version:

http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/23946 - An updated Elven Map Redux version with all of the new roads added.
http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/22065 - A colored version of the vanilla game map with all of the new roads added.
http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/23140 - An updated Cyrodiil Terrain Map version containing all of the new roads in their correct locations, along with additional edits for Bartholm and for Open Cities Reborn.
