Permissions and credits

******* If you would like to swap textures around and do not know how, please read. ********

=========================================================================================
In order to use ANY of the Alternate textures on the other dragons you need to do the following.
=========================================================================================

1. Open the location of where the texture is located.
This is your directory, wherever your TESV.exe is loacted.

2. Once located go into the following folder, Data/textures/actors/dragons

3. Backup any files you plan on switching around.

4. Open the downloaded file and extract it anywhere, this will be simpler if
you go ahead and take it out of the Data/textures/actors/dragons within the .zip file

5. Now swap the names of the download file with the file you want to use.
Ex. Downloaded file name is dragon_swamp.dds Original file is dragon_earth.dds
Now you swap the name of your download file to the original files name.

6. Final step is drag the newly named texture into the directory Data/textures/actors/dragons
You should be promted to replace or move the existing file chose to replace it.
Load the game and you should see the new texture in action.

=========================================================================================
I will list the file names to the dragon type so you know which names to change to, below.
=========================================================================================
- dragon.dds = Black dragons, these are the dragons that Alduin resurrects typically.

- dragon_boss.dds = Ancient dragon

- dragon_earth.dds = Elder dragon

- dragon_snow.dds = Frost dragon

- dragon_swamp.dds = Blood dragon

- ohdaviing.dds = Odahviing is a story line dragon.

=========================================================================================
######## NOTE ###########
=========================================================================================
This does NOT work for the Skeleton dragon, Parthurnax, or Alduin.
They have different texture layouts.
=========================================================================================
