Link_(Fixed)


The original mod causes an error message pertaining to a missing texture '_1Holocaust.dds'
after having selected to play the 'Link' race , subsequent attempts to equip Links' equipment 
cause the game to crash .


Here is a list of changes i have undertaken to improve performance and get the mod working 
as it should.


* A total of 6 textures were found to be missing which were present in snakebittens Island mod
  and thus added to this fix and were the cause of the game crashing.The missing textures were 
  identified from a string of error messages pertaining to missing textures when the original 
  link mod was loaded in the construction set.
  
  The textures added are 

  _00chrome.dds
  _00chromeyella.dds 
  _00enviro map1.dds
  _1Holocaust.dds
  Metroid 4c.dds 
  mirrorshield2.dds

* 2 missing icons added, 1 for the shield was found in snakebittens island mod whilst links pants
  had no icon assigned to them, so i assigned Bethesdas c\tx_pants_exquisite_1.tga instead.

* Surplus icon for links gloves was removed as his gloves are not removable in this mod

* Toddtest cell removed from mod

* 72 GMST's Removed

* Needless Ambi setting from customs and excise office cell deleted.

* Dialogue entry pertaining to services and dialogue response deleted as these appear to have 
  been linked to a test npc in the Toddtest cell.

* The following textures were all converted to the sleeker .dds format, collectively slicing off 
  over 1 mb in file sizes.
  
  Links hair.bmp
  Links Ul.bmp
  _00linkbelt.tga
  TX_Zelda_adobe_redbrown_01.tga
  _MSword.tga
  _00linkboot.tga

* Texture _00enviro map1.dds added from snakebittens island, dimensions are 512 x 512 but file size 
  showed as being as large as a  1024 x 1024 , i redid the conversion which reduced the size by approx 
  1 mb.

* Screenshot converted from .bmp to jpeg format reducing filesize fron 2.25mb to 474kb
