I haven't used this in a while but are we able to pick and choose which "fixes" we want applied to our game, like how we can do in Morrowind Code Patch?

Tes96, it's modular, but it's not as modular as MCP. There are different esps for the different game changes (alchemy, equip, etc) and he has a few alternatives for those who don't like certain controversial changes.
Making it more like MCP would give you a long list of changes since he made about a billion

Repost due to previous thread closed for 200+ length...
If this is the reason, I think a different way not conflicting with cell renaming and working for current and future lamdmass mods would be a scripted limitation, a global autostarted script similar to this could work

Amandla or Kristina Svennson?

I'd probably go with Kristina. Amandla has more of a "rich [censored]" vibe to her, which really isn't my thing. Kirstina Svennson has a more "from the streets" feel, which does it more for me. Plus, she looks like she could totally rock an eyepatch.


This, more or less. People who ask me to make my mod more modular usually have one or two "pet" changes that they really hate, and I'm certainly not to make over 9,000 different versions of my mod. The best I can do is offer a complete list of changes so that you know what's been changed and (hopefully) how to reverse engineer it to your liking.

Might I point out that my mod was born as a series of tweaks to someone else's mod


Sorry for the late reply to this, but I've been on shift and I really needed some time to sit down and look at this script.

The problem I see with it is that it seems to only block camping in outdoor areas... is there any way to detect if a bed specifically is being used?

Can I make another request for faster fatigue regeneration and/or no/minimal fatigue loss from running? Yes I'm aware those mods exist, but if we're going for a complete overhaul go for the gusto.

I'm cheating the system by casting the fatigue regen spell every so often, but then I asked myself why.

My mod actually *does* lower the fatigue loss from running by a rather significant amount (40%). I've toyed with the idea of lowering it even further in the past, but always end up deciding against it.

Because I like women who are badasses. And wearing an eyepatch makes you an automatic badass.

It blocks nothing, resting/waiting menu opens and works as standard. Any resting health/stamina/magicka gain during resting is removed (with a message) though when menu is closed if you are in exterior, making in practice resting in any exterior equivalent to waiting, regardless of what you activate to open the resting menuI don't think there is a way with normal scripting to detect a generic bed used versus for instance a bedroll, you could detect specific beds but you would probably have to replace the bed with a different unique one, or attach a script to the bed, both methods are potentially conflicting with other popular mods (MCA, NOM...).
Maybe with MWSE, but my knowledge of the extender is limited so probably Fliggerty/Yacoby or some other MWSE expert should know better.

[EDIT]typos, and here is a http://www.mediafire.com/?bbo6qob8xv2bg2x if you want to try how the script works, try it in any rest enabled exterior

Yeah, the difficulty with that script is that it only disables sleeping (by removing the gains from resting, I'm aware) in exteriors... which still lets you do so in interiors. Obviously, the aim here is to only allow resting in beds.

The only thing I can think of that would allow you to single out beds would be to have your global script work regardless of interior/exterior function, and then to attach a script to all beds (oh, *that* wouldn't be a pain in the ass...) to close it out temporarily.

Hey, I麓m really enjoying the game with your mod, so thanks for that. In many cases, your mod makes sensible restricitons and rebalances nicely. I use it with GCD.


However, here麓s some feedback on two aspects I found less than perfect:

You have removed constant effects from many items and replaced them with for x. That麓s really, really annoying in my opinion. Put yourselves in the shoes of a mage. My spell list is so long that even with 1240*1024 resolution I have to scroll a lot to get to the bottom. So to use the enchantment of some item, I have to enter the menu, scroll down, select the item, exit menu, cast spell, open menu, put back on the item which got replaced(say I used the "... for x" effect of a girdle but I usually wear a girdle with constant effect) and enjoy some mostly mediocre effects for 30 seconds for all that hassle. In short, it just makes me never use those items.
I麓d rather have permanent 2% magic immunity than 20% for 30 seconds.



Summons seem "a bit" overpowered. I found it surprising to find that without your mod, it麓s costlier and much, much more difficult to cast them.
Summon GS with your mod disabled: 165 mana, 0 chance.
Enabled: 60 Mana, 100 chance.
Since I麓ve bought the Flame Atronarch spell I never had to back out of any fight, or leave a dungeon and come back later... not once.
Now with a big selection of summons(Bonelord, GS, Winged Tw., Dadroth, Daedra, ...) it really doesn麓t matter what a mod says in respect to difficulty. If I start spamming summoms at something it WILL go down, no chance in hell for it to be different.
So if you麓ve wanted to make the game harder I don麓t understand why you chose to make summoning easier.
I have made an "Undead Legion" spell which costs roughly 40 mana and summons a greater bonewalker, a hunger, an anc. ghost and a skeletal minion at once for 30 seconds. This spell alone deals with 99,99999% of all enemies I麓ve encountered. Not to mention what happens if I add some tough guys to the mix.

It麓s really awesome to have ~10 creatures summoned and see them whack away, it麓s just too easily accomplished.

This is the character:

Aynway, the good outweighs the bad by far, so thanks again

I was thinking the aim was simply to keep flagging those 3 interior cells you are currently setting as "illegal to sleep" (Caldera, Guild of Mages, Suran, Ralds Oril: Trader, Balmora, Nalcarya of White Haven: Fine Alchemist), and maybe some other cell in cities not already so flagged by default if there are any.

If for any reason in a next version you want to flag also caves/daedric ruins and so on, I don't know good mods renaming interiors so conflicts should be rare, and if a mod changes a standard interior cell name, well it may deserve to conflict.

Anyway, as the one conflict is solved avoiding the use of GetPCCell, I see no more reason for debating as points of view are clearly different.

I was not aware that the game already made it illegal to rest in most interiors... though, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever tried. And I thought that my mod flagged caves and ruins already, though again I don't think I've ever tested them specifically.

From what I'm gathering, I would need to flag all interiors in which it's not already illegal to rest (dungeons + the cells you mentioned), and then use the script you suggested in lieu of flagging outdoor cells, correct?

if you want to forbid sleeping bonuses in exteriors and also all uncivilized interiors, yes, that would probably be a way not conflicting with current and future exterior cell renaming (e.g. new exterior cities) anywhere on the map.

I went to download your Canadian Ice Robe Replacer compatibility plugins, but they are missing (the links are broken).

The compatibility plugins are bundled in with the main BTBGI download, you'll find them in the Extra Stuff folder.

I keep meaning to come back and pay attention to this mod/forum/game in general, but I've sorta spent the last nine months working on another mod for another game.
