Installation:
============
Just unzip into your "Data Files" folder. That should put everything where it belongs.
If for some strange reason it doesn't, refer to the list of files at the end of this document.


Description:
===========
This mod replaces the ugly original models for wakizashis, katana and "dai-katana" with aesthetically much more pleasing ones. Also, two new "weapons" for dual wielding, "parrying wakizashis", are introduced.

The katana were changed from one-handed to two-handed use, for sake of aesthetics and realism. To compensate, the damage was slightly raised.
The "dai-katana" now bears the more correct name of no-dachi.

The new models and textures were made from reference pictures of real antique katana. All models have a polycount of ~500 and come with a bunch of textures, so I'd advise using them only with a powerful graphics adapter.

Since 1.2, you can also obtain a Ninja's suit for your player. The specialty of this outfit is the visible, back-worn scabbard for the Ninja-to: you will actually be able to see if the sword is sheathed or drawn.
The ninja outfit is clothing, not armor, but will grant your character a skill bonus of 15 on Unarmored and 5 on Stealth if worn in total.
To get the ninja suit the legitimate way, you'll have to join the Morag Tong.
If you have already joined the guild or want to take the short road ;), just open the console with the tilde key and type: "startscript ktx_give_stuff"
This will place the full suit plus a Ninja-to into your inventory.

Although every aspect of this mod was playtested, I cannot guarantee that it is error-free. Use at your own risk. (As with all mods, back up your save games before using!!!)
I shall not be held responsible if this mod destroys your Morrowind game, computer, social life or ego, or causes any other real or imagined harm.

Tribunal is required for leveled list and inventory scripting functions.


Known Issues:
=============
You may notice that the uwagi (shirt) of the ninja outfit has a weight of 0.00. This is not a bug. It's a workaround that prevents another bug from happening, which would slowly raise your encumbrance without ever lowering it again. (I suspect that the source of this lies in the Equip or RemoveItem function, probably the former.)


Version History:
================

1.2 - Renamed the gi to uwagi, and the mask to kurozukin. (Thanks Shoujo for the help with the terminology!) Changed the ninja stuff from armor to clothing. Improved scripts. Removed item health tracking, which doesn't work.

1.1 - Beta release. fixes the bug that removed the enchantments from the devil, demon and fiend katana. Sorry about that one. Also adds a ninja-to and a ninja-style suit featuring a mask, gi (shirt), hakama (pants) and tabi (shoes).

1.0 - Initial release

Many thanks to my beta-testers of version 1.1! This mod wouldn't have the level of quality that (I hope ;) it has without your help.
