[RELz] Better Letters 1.2 : IV

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 6:57 pm

Quick update on that old, and first, Oblivion mod of mine.

In this new version, I've corrected the rest of the typos. (Hopefully there are none left!)
I've also placed in the game world shop advertisemants that were not present in-game but present in the editor.
Those shop advertisemants are found in Bravil, Chorrol and Skingrad.

Download link at the bottom of the readme.

I highyl recommend to use Better Letters alongside http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=2908, which adds text to the crumpled pieces of paper found in the game.

Enjoy.

===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============

This plugin changes every generic letters, notes, recipes, instructions and the such with unique ones.
Basicly, you'll never see a duplicated letter again.

Now it does pay to read those letters, some nice information may be hidden in them!
It also adds some shop advertisemants written by the devs but never placed in-game.

It is recommended to use Reneer's Note Mod along with Better Letters. Reneer's Note Mod adds text to the
crumpled pieces of paper.

========================
2. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
========================

Place the Cliff_BetterLetters.esp file into your Oblvion\Data folder.

=====================
3. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
=====================

From the Oblivion Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the Cliff_BetterLetters.esp

=====================
4. VERSION CHANGES
=====================

1.2 : Corrected typos, hopefully it is not typo free.
Added shop advertisemants that were written by the devs but never implemented in-game.

1.1 : Now typo free. I hope.

1.0 : Initial Release

This was unexpected :blink:

I always have this installed. Never thought it'd see another update.

Thanks!

Nifty. I don't know how I managed to miss this when it was released the first time, but this is a welcome addition.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this was updated over at Nexus. This is already one of my favorite mods, Cliffworms, and has been for a long time. It makes being a sneaky, snoopy character so much more fun

Thanks for the update!

Definitely among my favorite mods, from one of my favorite modders. Nice to see you, Cliffworms, and nice to see this updated!

Thanks for the update!

And the Reneer's Note Mod recommendation, I didn't have that one yet.

Thank you very much for the feedback guys!

Added links to TES Alliance and Planet Elder Scrolls.

And, yep it was unexpected for me as well. I was just browsing through my old mods and noticed many of them desperately need an update! :laugh:

Well, since I just downloaded it, I haven't seen too many of your unique notes (Actually, I've only seen one so far), but I liked what I saw. This'll be in my load order from now on.

Speaking of things that need an update, did you get the PM I sent you regarding LMR?

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:59 pm

As I've said before, I've always been a fan of your mods since this one, and I'm glad that you've updated it again (was there a need? but I won't complain now!)

Question - can this be safely merged with Reneer's Note mod? I've too many esps!!! :facepalm:

Cool, thanks a lot. Your mods are always excellent.

How did I miss it? I remember now that a long time ago I had Reneer's mod in my LO, but too many reinstalations since that...so thank you even more! :cake:

Bump for the question...

Bump for the question...

It can be merged with just about anything, as far as I know. It does not have random script edits or anything.

I think perhaps you meant: "...hopefully it is now typo free."

EDIT: Egad! Ninja'd by the dastardly Luchaire..... :ninja:

There are around 83-85 notes, so they're very spread out in the cities.

Yes sorry about the PM. I'm afraid the beta is not yet ready, I got something that took most of my time. As soon as I can work on LMR again, I'll let you know for the beta. Thanks!

Question - can this be safely merged with Reneer's Note mod? I've too many esps!!! :facepalm:

Yep they can be merged together, no problem!

Irony at its best.

Hehe yeah I noticed that after uploading the files. I'll leave that typo in, just for the fun of it.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:58 am

Wasn't expecting this! This is long been a necessary edition to my game

I noticed that Better Letters is already imported in the Bashed Patch (Import names tag), so it dos not count as an additional esp.

At the risk of asking a question unrelated to this mod, can I import Reneer's Notes mod into the bashed patch as well?

Selecting the mod in Wrye bash, and right-clicking for Mark mergeable gives me the following info:
"Not Mergeable
? ReneersNotesMod.esp:
New record(s) in block(s): BOOK, SCPT. "

Can I add some bashed tag to it, to avoid getting another esp?
If not, how can I merge it with Better Letters to get one esp file taht is itself merged into the bashed Patch?

Merging this mod with Better Letters would result in an unmergeable mod because the merge would then have Reneer's Notes Mods' new records...
