3.0.1 - Cleaned Plugin with tes4edit: Now Clean Plugin only changes

--------------------------------

New Updated Version 3 :

Now includes 3 .esps ( the original version, MOBS version with stats adjusted to fit MOBS (medievel Oblivion Balance System) and the newly added Weapons for NPCs version created by CorePC that adds the weapons to the leveled lists used for NPC's so that they are now used by random NPCs and found as loot throughout Cyrodiil !!

Additional info on the NPC version .esp provided by CorePC :

Loth Blunt Weapons for NPCS modifies default leveledlist for Blunt Weapons that are used for Npcs that use blunt weapons..So that these are spread out to these leveled list , all the way up to lvl 25 and are randmon all the time..

LL0NPCWeaponMace100
LL0NpcWeaponWarAxe100
LL0NpcWeaponBatteAxe100
LL0NpcWeaponWarhHammer100
LL0NpcWeaponBattleAxeLvl100
LL0NPCWeaponMaceLVL100
LL0NpcWeaponWarAxeLVL100
LL0NpcWeaponWarhHammerLVL100

Compatiblity with Other Mods..

If you using mod like 000, Frans, or a mod that changes these leveled list then you need to use wyre bash and bashed patched to make these show up in these leveled list ..for these Mods..

IF not using a mod that modifies the default leveled list then they will show up correctly..no need for wyre bash and bashed patched..

They can still be bought at the Vendor Also..


Version 2 : fixed a small error on the leveled list for 2 weapons that had the wrong version of the weapon being added at one level. Also fixed the Nif path for the unpolished War Axe pointing to the wrong Nif file.

Note : Added a MOBS (Medieval Oblivion (Equipment) Balance System)version .esp for those using MOBs just download and unpack the .esp and use it instead of the original .esp ( The weapons Stats have been adjusted to fit in with other MOBS version weapons !!)

This Mod adds several new one and 2 handed Blunt weapons to the inventory of AgnethePickled of Hammer and Tongs located in Skingrad. (placed in a new respawning vendor chest to avoid conflicts with other Mods).

The weapons have been added to the inventory of AgnethePickled of Hammer and Tongs located in Skingrad. They have been placed in leveled lists that add one of each weapon to her inventory with statistics that vary dependent upon your players level ( 1 - Impure, 3 - Unpolished, 5 - Lesser, 8 - Normal, 10 - Fine, 14 Very Fine, 18 - Grand, 23 - Perfect ) The items have been added to a new vendor chest in order to avoid conflicts with any other Mod and will respawn.

Great job!

BTW - What ever happned to Loth?

Haven't seen or heard from him in awhile :rofl: but I'm sure He'll be back (No one ever really gets away !!) bliviongate:

Good to see you dropping by !! Have you started any new mods yet ??

@ CorePC - THanks for making the update and re-releasing - Nice to see that there was only the one thing to clean up ( though not sure how I missed it !)

I lurk from time to time but to be honest I think OB modding has seen its day. Unless of course someone can figure out how to make the PC/NPC even 'nvder' or the swords actually bigger than the buildings. Hel Borne bugs me from time to time but I think I'll wait for TES V. Hope everyone is well though I don't see as many familiar avatar's these days.

yeah just one quill misplaced, and nothing else guess where we good about this one. I even checked against UOP/DLC/UMOP no conflicts with those. Could not find anything else wrong.



To what degree of nudity (EVE HGEC with High Rez textures) and how large of building are you talking about, I fought a wood elf (little bity one) with a big two handed halbred that was twice it size. to that guy it was a size of building after all.

Once I made the sword such big that it covered the sun then I saw nothing in the dark ;]

Weapons cast shadows when equipped ?

Yes. They become part on the skeketon's bounding box.



Gee thanks. I think the last time I contacted you was a year ago. :toughninja:

What Medieval isn't worthy of capitalization? Or spelling?

Ahh I'm just [censored]in with ya.


Looks good.

Hate to interrupt but uhh - not sure about this one.

If I already cleaned my v3 copy of this with edit a while back (not that it was all that dirty) - is there really any need to get this version?

thanks

Nope - the only change was the cleaning so yours is pretty much already done ! (CorePC just figured better to do it for everyone and upload the cleaned version rather than make each user do it themselves !!)

Great. Downloading.

nope,



What he said

Hi there people!

I am having a strange case of missing meshes on my loth install,
Yesterday I exchanged a few PMs with corepc and it seems we don't actually know whats causing it.

The load order is 100% boss generated with lastest-est-est boss masterlist.

I have FCOM working 100% (despite this loth problem)
no crashes, no (BIG) stuttering...

I was using Content Check an Item Interchange, however, enabling/disabling has no effect whatsoever on this problem.

Do anyone knows whats the matter?

thanks,

from fcom thread..



F shiruba you forget to post the most important information the weapon that is not showing up for you..which is Impure Ball Mace, any other one's missing has well?

Sorry, I just noticed I am missing all loth weapons.


Edit: (better wording)

Are you using the 3.01 version? have you tried uinstalling and reinstalling..did you try redownloading. I do not see anything wrong with them at all. They are setup fine in nifskope and in game they show up fine. So it has be something related to your config.

well, let me review it.

When I noticed the problem I...

1) Got to tesnexus, and got 3.01

2) unrared it

3) copy-pasted it on data folder

4) said "ok, overwrite it"

5) deleted the loth's esps, just left alone the NPCs one...

6) wrye bash - select all - uncheck bashed patch - mark mergeable - rebuild patch - click every box in existence (except the last ones, tests and content checker) - check bashed patch -
virtualized Item interchange and TNR faces, clicked run oblivion+OBSE.



and thats it.

If you're using OBSE, you could try the newer advanced versions of FormID finder. It should show you the expected path of the weapon.

I will try,but...
can you teach me how to do that? I really dont know what are you talking about XD

check to see if installed correctly..

go to oblivion data folder , under meshes do you have blunt set folder? if not then it did not install correctly..easiest way to check..

if you have a blunt set folder, then tell me how many files are listed in that folder?

you may want to think about using oblivion mod manager or wrye bash bain to install programs with..

Well.... I agree... but , you know, its pretty rare to unrar something wrong.

in about 40-60 minutes i will be in lunch break, so i will check the folders. thanks for now ^^

Actually alot easier than you would think - Many times people will unpack a DATA folder to the Oblivion\Data folder and wind up with an Oblivion\DATA\Data folder so the game will not find the files - so check for that or an Oblivion\data\meshes\meshes folder as well (if you placed them manually it is eas to drop one folder lower than you should and wind up adding a new sub folder instead of merging into the current folder !!)

My rule of thumb for larger item mods: If windows doesn't ask about overwriting the folders, you dropped them in the wrong place.

thats exactly why I think I have them installed right... but given the choices... it doesnt hurt to double-check.


thanks ^^

EDIT: LUNCH BREAK and OB Checking postponed until 19:00 hours, @#$#@!!!!

EDIT EDIT: there goes,

its seems winrar extracted the right folder structure, no data/data or meshes/meshes , even so, it didnt extracted all of this contents, my blunt set folder had about 4 files, now it has a lot.... i dont see any WTF signs around, thats a good omen.

If I see anything weird i will post here again, until then Thanks for helping me out! =*

EDIT EDIT EDIT:

Got smacked in the head with a Impure Ball Mace yesterday , all Loth weapons are ok it seems! =*
