Sneak feature desired...

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:28 am

Would there be a mod that does the simple task of granting some sneak advancement for archer sneakers. I never seem to level up because I have poor: blade, hand, blunt... So I do not sneak melee. I rarely have the opps to sneak BY an opponent due to dungeon layouts, mostly. So I have played a while but sneak hardly advances. Is there a mod to give a little xp when you get a sneak crit from a bow?
Alternatively is this hard to make? I have no clue how to make a mod. I once made a merchant in morrowind and that was hard for me.

Thanks :)

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14304 and the Progress RBSP (range based skill progression) plugin covers the advancement of this. You can tweak the settings in the .ini's to increase the amount of skill xp you get for different things, including range, sneaking, etc.

The main Progress ini lets you tweak the settings for how fast every skill levels, and while it may be tempting to drastically increase those, it's better to slowly increase them with very small values.

The plugins do various things to specific skills, such as the RBSP above, theres also one for Magicka progression, and a couple of others.

Thank you, just looking at the ini files I get a taste of the amazing skill and work put into this mod and mods in general!


1)A couple of questions. The ini lists in the Tejon folder (inside data).... Those are like code and you can substitute different numbers? So if I want sneak to advance x2 the rate I just double the number in the Progress.ini? Would I have to do something with the nGXX if I use that or is it a separate modifier?

Ok I think I understand that but just checking that thats how it works.

2) Now another question you mentioned the RBSB (ranged based skill bonus) which in the readme says it affects the marksman skill, correct? You implied that it affected sneaking?? Or no?

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

EDIT

3) If I have a race mod what happens to the racial mod for increasing racial bonuses faster?

With the Progress mod and the Sniper Sneak so far I am not seeing much increase in sneak. But I have only gotten about 3 sneak crits so I'm not sure. Just asking if these work together. BOSS didn't give a flag or anything.

EDIT

maybe I just don't understand. It says when the eye is dark? Isn't the eye always going to be faded when you are sneaking and undetected? If dark means the lines are dark then how can you get a crit if you are detected? Probably I am just misreading dark?

Dark as in: Successfully sneaking. It gets brighter when you are detected. :D
