Name: Tribunal Intro and Menu Replacer
Version: 1.0
Date: 6/16/2010
Requirements: Morrowind Code Patch (MCP) 1.8 or later
Author: skaeps (with assistance from Saint_Jiub and Hrnchamd)


Description
===========
This is a mod which will replace the Morrowind logo video and main menu background with a custom-made video and background modeled after the theme of the Tribunal.

This mod relies on the Morrowind Code Patch created by Hrnchamd. Morrowind's internal engine limits the color quality of textures used for the main menu background, resulting in low-quality textures despite any action taken by the texturer. Hrnchamd's Code Patch fixes this issue, allowing Morrowind to utilize menu texures of a higher quality.

As such, this menu background will look BAD if you don't install the Code Patch. See the Install section below for help getting it.



Install
=======
1. Back up your current logo video and background. Either copy them somehwere you won't delete them, or rename them. I recommend renaming them.
These files are:
	Data Files/Textures/menu_morrowind.dds (if it exists)
	Data Files/Video/mw_logo.bik

If the menu_morrwind.dds file does not exist, then don't worry, it just means that you don't have a background replacer. If there is no menu_morrowind.dds file, Morrowind will use its default.

mw_logo.bik MUST exist, however. The only way to restore this if you overwrite it is to grab it off of the Morrowind CD.
I am not responsible if you overwrite or delete something you shouldn't have, be sure you back up your files!

2. Extract the files into the "Data Files" folder
   OR use Wrye Mash's Installers function to install.

3. Grab the Morrowind Code Patch and install the menu fix. This mod requires version 1.8 or newer.
The patch can be downloaded from either of these websites:
	http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19510
	http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1008

Read through the MCP documentation carefully until you are confident enough to install it. It's been made pretty safe. Pick and choose the fixes you want to use, and ensure the following option is checked:

	[]Better quality splash and title screens

Then apply the patch. If you've done everything right, you're good to go! Start the game, sit back, and enjoy.


Uninstall
=========
1. Delete the files associated with the mod (see above)
   OR use Wrye Mash's Installers function to uninstall.

2. Restore your previous mw_logo.bik file (and menu_morrowind.dds if it existed).

If for any reason you want to uninstall the Code Patch, it can be done by starting it up and clicking the Uninstall All button.


Incompatibility
===============
This mod is incompatible with any other menu background or logo video replacers.


Known Issues or Bugs
====================
If you do NOT have the Morrowind Code Patch installed and the Menu Fix activated, the menu background will have distorted colors. This is entirely Morrowind's doing, and only the Code Patch can correct this issue.
