     1. Manual Installation

*****************************************************************

1. Unzip the contents of wyrmstooth.zip to your Skyrim Data folder. Below is a list
   of the default Skyrim installation locations:

	C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data

			or for 64-bit Windows:

	C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data

2. Confirm you have the following files in your Skyrim Data folder:

	Wyrmstooth.esp
	Wyrmstooth.bsa
	Wyrmstooth.ini

3. Run the Skyrim Launcher and make sure Wyrmstooth.esp appears in Data Files and has
   a tick next to it.

4. Start the game.

5. To begin the quest, wait for Theodyn Bienne to find you or speak to Lurius Liore at the
   Bannered Mare in Whiterun.


*****************************************************************

     2. Best Practice

*****************************************************************

- Always make a save prior to installing a new mod and a new save after installing it. If
  anything goes wrong you'll have a save to fall back to.

- If you're running an older version of Wyrmstooth, finish the Barrow of the Wrym questline
  first before upgrading to a newer version.

- If you've made any ini changes, always catalogue them or save a copy of the original
  ini file no matter how benign the change was.

*****************************************************************

Q. What patch level is required?
A. You should be running 1.8 or higher.

Q. Do I need Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Dragonborn to play Wyrmstooth?

Q. Is development of Wyrmstooth complete?
A. A 1.10 patch may be released if any serious issues are discovered.

Q. How much time did you spend working on Wyrmstooth?
A. About 1600 - 1700 hours.


*****************************************************************

     5. Troubleshooting

*****************************************************************

Please keep in mind that, while Wyrmstooth has been playtested extensively, other mods, 3rd
party utilities and ini tweaks may affect the behavior, performance and stability of
Wyrmstooth. With that said, I've tried to be as comprehensive in the following section as
possible with regards to commonly reported issues.

Q. OK i've loaded the mod. How does the questline begin?
A. The quest begins once you're at atleast level 10 and have atleast been summoned by the
   Greybeards in the main quest. An imperial courier named Theodyn Bienne will track you down
   and starts from the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. You should run into him if you head towards
   Whiterun using any of the main roads. Alternatively he should be able to find you if you
   wait for 24 hours in any of the major cities. Regardless of where you are in the world,
   he should find you eventually.

Q. I can't find Theodyn Bienne. Is there any other way forward?
A. You can jump-start the questline by speaking directly to Lurius Liore in the Bannered Mare
   in Whiterun so long as you meet the quest per-requisites, ie: player level 10 and have at
   least been summoned by the Greybeards in the main quest. Lurius shouldn't leave this
   location so you should be able to find him easily.

Q. I can't find Lurius Liore at the Bannered Mare nor can I find Theodyn Bienne. What can I
   do to begin the questline?
A. Open the console using the tile key (`) and type in the following command then press enter:
   setstage wtdragonhunt 10
   This will begin the questline 'Dragon Hunt'. Use the quest marker to find Lurius.
   Also try unloading any mods that may modify the Bannered Mare interior as they may be
   deleting important xmarkers that both Wyrmstooth and vanilla Skyrim need to function.

Q. I've tried typing 'setstage wtdragonhunt 10' but the command failed.
A. If the command failed, Wyrmstooth isn't installed. Go into the Skyrim Launcher and make
   sure it's ticked in the Data Files section.

Q. The game crashes or hangs, or my screen is empty when I enter or exit Wyrmstooth Barrow.
A. Make sure Wyrmstooth.ini was copied to the Data folder. A fix for this problem was
   included in this file which should be loaded with the mod.

Q. Previously I disabled grass, but this mod seems to enable it again.
A. A bug seems to prevent grass from appearing in Worldspaces included in user mods.
   The fix is included in the Wyrmstooth.ini file however if you do not want to see
   grass due to performance issues, change bAllowCreateGrass=1 to bAllowCreateGrass=0.
   This file should be located in the Data folder of your Skyrim install directory.

Q. We arrived at Wyrmstooth but something went wrong. Lurius doesn't move or speak or he's
   pacing between Fort Moonwatch and Wyrmstooth Docks.
A. Under certain conditions, a cutscene initiated by Lurius at the docks fails to trigger.
   Ignore him and head to the barrow. Once you read the bandit journal the quest should
   update, Lurius and the other mercenaries should catch up with you eventually.

Q. How do I get back to Skyrim or return to Wyrmstooth?
A. You can use the new map markers to travel between Skyrim and Wyrmstooth which are
   enabled once you arrive on the island for the first time.

Q. Sometimes Lurius remains at The Bannered Mare when he's supposed to be travelling to
   Solitude.
A. If a bard is currently playing a song he may become part of the audience temporarily. Just
   ask the performing bard to rest his or her voice and Lurius should be on his way.

Q. How do I open up the shaft in the crypt?
A. Once all the draugr in the final room have been defeated, the shaft should open by itself.
   Sometimes resurrecting the draugr here may interfere with the internal battle counter
   temporarily. There's also a lever next to the boss' sarcophagus that controls the shaft
   and treasure room gates.

Q. I lost my follower after falling down the shaft into Dimfrost.
A. They'll join up with you again once you return to the surface using the Dwemer Elevator.

Q. Alberthor won't let me pass the closed gate.
A. Updating Wyrmtooth midway through your playthrough may affect a trigger used by Alberthor.
   Open the console using the tile key (`) and type in the following command then press enter:
   setstage wtbarrowofthewyrm 130
   Speak to Alberthor again and he should talk about the dilemma. Doing the sidequests
   'Wrap Me Up' or 'Unwanted Guests' will not help him open the gate.

Q. The game gets stuck loading the Luminatory area in Dimfrost.
A. Try lowering your graphics settings temporarily until you've encountered the dragon and
   have returned to the surface. Some graphics mods or tweaks may adversely affect the
   loading of this interior. If you've made any lod z-fighting ini tweaks you may need to
   reverse them as well.

Q. The game seems to be crashing sporadically after I've arrived in Wyrmstooth.
A. Certain audio mods have been known to cause problems. Unfortunately there seems to be a
   bug in the engine itself whereby the game will simply crash if it cannot read a sound
   file.

Q. I can't seem to talk to the wolf Faelor.
A. Known issue, I think it might have something to do with the state of the actor not
   resetting to idle after engaging in combat. A workaround is to either fast travel to a
   nearby location and return or use 'enable' and 'disable' console commands to reset Faelor.
   The Unofficial Skyrim Patch seems to resolve this problem.

Q. Lurius isn't taking me to Wyrmstooth, after speaking to him at Solitude he runs away.
A. This issue seems related to upgrading Wyrmstooth after starting Dragon Hunt but before
   completing Barrow of the Wyrm. Do not update Wyrmstooth if you haven't yet finished the
   main questline.
