Hi,

Two things. First, I get a sound playing like someone is swinging at me every time my sneak bonus (sneak for 10 sec) pops up. Second, even at 100 sneak and 50 luck, I'm still not getting assassinations very often. I have Win xp / MWE 1.6 / FPS optimizer / MGE and I can't think of anything that might be wrong on my end. These problems persist even if I start a new game (tested assassination with player->setsneak 100). Any ideas?

Edit: OK, I figured out the sound thing by looking at the .esp (it's supposed to happen), but I can't figure out why I can hardly ever land an assassination.

Here's my modlist:

May have to do with line Playsound "Weapon Swish" in the script... I.e. that's intended behavior, you character swings the weapon in anticipation, an acoustical info that you're ready, in addition to the optical one.



When you score a critical hit (i.e. successful sneak attack) AND get a critical-hit sound (more than 75% of all cases)
the percentile chance to do an assassination is (sneak + shortblade/2) * ((luck-40)/100+1)

So at 100 sneak and 50 shortblade and 50 Luck the chance to do an assasination when the critical hit sound plays is (100 + 25) * 1,1 = 137% so the overall chance for an assassination is still >102%

Are you sure you do sneak attacks? I.e. the sneaking icon is still active when you strike, you get a "Critical Damage!" messagebox, and do thrice as much damage?

Hey Jog, sorry I didn't see your response until just now. Yes, I'm getting critical hits where the messagebox appears and the sound plays. Sometimes I can see my target's name when I attack and sometimes I can't (I'm using FPS optimizer with 1.6x menu multiplier - I wonder if this has anything to do with it). Should I try to make a couple of movies to show the issue?

Also, I think there's a minor conflict between this and Madd leveler. I'm getting lots of agility increases (unaccompanied by skill ups) just from sneaking around indoors. I think the quick changes to my sneak skill from the lighting are being interpreted by Madd as sneak skill increases, which it uses to give attribute (sneak gives agility) increases. I'm not going to complain about getting free agility, but it might be something to think about.

Finally, if you plan to update the mod in the future, could I recommend removing the weaponswoosh sound or replacing it with something else? It keeps making me think that something is attacking me just as I'm sneaking up on someone.

Sounds like a pretty sweet mod; maybe you could integrate some more of the mods that help the immersion like the zooming bows & toggle sneak

Does someone know if Morrowind Code Patch and the fix for fortify-enchantments in Enhanced Stealth latest release are compatible?

Thanks for this mod, JOG! I could not stand how a midgy little scrib always resisted my sneak attacks with sneak, hand-to-hand and strength all at well over 100. Finally I can rejoice because with this it will never happen again!

The assasination part doesn't work for me. I have only one assasiantion hit of many attempts with different conditions.
Even new game without any mods and with sneak, shortblade and luck 100.
I'm assured, that do all correctly - recieve sneak attack bonus, do a strike with a sneak icon.
The sound plays correctly, messagebox appear, damage done like critical hit but no assasination.

Can anybody help with this?

Does any one know or has anyone tested that?
