Battlehorn Castle Expanded Version 1.02
-- Description --
Battlehorn Castle Expanded adds a number of new cells or rooms expanding the interior of the castle. All of the castle should be explorable, which includes the four towers around the castle as well as the two front towers. There is a west wing as well as an east wing and corridors which extend to the third floor. A Battlehorn knight will give you new messages for the many additional upgrades available. Battlehorn Castle should now be very companion friendly.
I wished to keep as much of the original cells as lightly altered as possible. My hope was to create the many new rooms with the same look, sound and feel of the original.
This will very likely be incompatable with any other mod that affects the DLC. Also you will want to use a character save which hasn't visited the castle. With the many changes to scripts and AI packages as well as to the quest, many of the features will likely not function from a save with the original DLC.
For anyone looking for a larger battle at the beginning of the quest, look for a small sack just outside Chorrol along the front wall, between the stable. Inside you'll find two rings. The silver ring will add two more marauders to the fight, the gold will add four.
I used de-isolation technique using TES4Gecko and Wrye Bash. I used TES4Edit for cleaning. The gold textures I used are Bethesda's silver textures. I simply color matched them in Photoshop. All voice files are Bethesda's.
Future versions should include additional animations. Please feel free to post problems or issues on the forums. I hope this mod will be as enjoyable for you as it was for me to make.
-- Changes in Version 1.02 --
Fixed many CandlestickFloor that weren't tied to the upgrades in the east wing guest rooms.
Added AI packages and scripts to the Battlehorn knights for them to "maintain" their armor.
Modified a couple of activator scripts in hopes of better function.
Corrected the decor note and receipt text which were serving as place holders.
Added SetNoRumors to the dancers in hopes of keeping them quiet while dancing.
Sorry no new animations in this release.
