== Piano Modders Resource ==

Thanks for trying out my Mod!

Improvements:
The Collision is working properly.
The U.V. maps are laid out in a much better way.
New Piano textures that are 'seamless' dds files.
I lengthened the piano legs for a more realistic look.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

To install:
Open the 'David_Whitefang_Piano_Improved' folder, then place the 'WhitefangMeshes' folder into your Oblivion\Data\Meshes folder.

The folder simply named 'Whitefang' contains the .dds files, and should be placed into the Oblivion\Data\Textures folder.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 As always, the screenshots included in this file can be deleted.

For those of you who already know how to get items into the game, bare with me please, as I try to explain in more detail to others who may be newer to modding.

Getting it into the game:
Open the Construction Set. Activate any mod that you are interested in adding these Pianos to. Then select any static item, in the 'Object Window', by 'right clicking' on it. A menu will pop up, select 'New'. Now click on the bar 'add nif file'. Open 'WhitefangMeshes' then open 'WhitefangClutterDecorations' then 'left click on the file 'WhitefangPianoMahogany.nif' (or 'WhitefangPianoHoneyCream.nif' if you prefer) then 'left click' on the bar labeled 'open'. Now 'left click' on the bar labeled 'OK'.

At this point the Piano is in the list of 'Static World Objects' listed alphabetically under 'Whitefang'.

Open the cell interior that you wish to place the Piano into and simply drag and drop from the object window.
At this point, I would suggest resizing the piano to 3.2 or 3.3, also, if you simply use the 'f' key for the fall comand, it will take a few seconds to drop.
Place it where desired. 

That's it, of course, don't forget to save your work in the construction set.
================================================== 
I hope that you enjoy this modders resource. I enjoyed making and sharing it.
==================================================
You have my permission to use this mod, in your own mod, as long as yours is released free, just as I have released this one for free.

Of course, I would appreciate credit if you use it.

Thanks, and Have Fun!
