by LogicDragon
Brings lockpicking out of the menus and into real time. This mod features real time versions of the Oblivion, Skyrim (using Oblivion graphics), and Two Worlds II lockpicking minigames. By default, all doors use the Oblivion minigame and containers have a 50% chance of playing either the Skyrim minigame or the Two Worlds II minigame. This can be configured in the ini file.

Note: This is a beta version so there may be bugs and it may not be a 100% exact duplicate of the Oblivion, Skyrim, and Two Worlds II minigames so I'll improve it later.
Help Requests:
- The Skyrim minigame uses Oblivion graphics so I'm looking for an artist and modeler to recreate the Skyrim minigame lockpick and knife model and textures so they can be used in Oblivion.
- I'm also planning to port this mod over to Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim so I'll need an artist to recreate the Oblivion minigame graphics so they can be used in those games.
- I may also need an animator later after the models and textures are done.
Please send me a PM if you're interested in helping.

Real Time Lockpicking Minigames
Version: 0.8 beta
by LogicDragon
Overview
--------
Brings lockpicking out of the menus and into real time. This mod features real time versions of the Oblivion, Skyrim (using Oblivion graphics), and Two Worlds II lockpicking minigames. By default, all doors use the Oblivion minigame and containers have a 50% chance of playing either the Skyrim minigame or the Two Worlds II minigame. This can be configured in the ini file.
Requirements
------------
Oblivion Script Extender - Must be installed to use this mod.
(Optional) Menuque or any DarN UI mod - Used to disable the crosshairs and sneak icons when lockpicking in first person so it's highly recommended. Menuque is preferred but any DarN UI mod will also work.
(Optional) HUD Status Bars - Used to display the lock difficulty level, your security skill, and lockpicks remaining to your hud when lockpicking. It is highly recommended, but an alternative is to enable the messageOnNumBrokenLockpicks setting in the ini file to display a message after breaking lockpicks.
Install
-------
If you are any UI mods, make a backup of the menus\lockpick_menu.xml file.
Extract to your data folder, click yes to overwrite files.
Uninstall
---------
Delete the RTLockpickMinigame.esp, ini\Real Time Lockpicking Minigames.ini, the Meshes\RTLockpick folder, the Textures\RTLockpick folder, and the Sound\fx\RTLockpick folder. Replace Menus\lockpick_menu.xml with your backup version if using a UI mod or delete it if you are not.
Upgrading
---------
Make a clean save before upgrading to a newer version.
Descriptions and Controls
-------------------------
Start the lockpicking minigame by activating a locked object. This causes the minigame to appear on your screen and all your movement controls to be disabled. The minigames are controlled using the same keys as your movement keys.
Witnesses: If you are picking an owned container or door, you can get caught by people witnessing your lockpicking attempt. So be careful to not be seen when lockpicking.
Guards: You can now bribe the guards to ignore your lockpicking. If they have greater than 90 disposition and you have less than 500 bounty (so they don't run up and arrest you) then they will ignore your lockpicking.
Illegal Magic: It is now a crime to cast Open spells on locked and owned doors or containers.
Torches: Having a torch equipped gives you a slight boost to your calculated security skill to make lockpicking easier at the cost in being easier to detect.
Oblivion Minigame
-----------------
Move Left Key - Moves the lockpick left
Move Right Key - Moves the lockpick right
Move Forward Key - Hits the tumbler when it is in the down position to push it up
Mouse Left Click - Locks the tumbler in position when it is at the top
Activate Key - Exits the minigame
Use the move left/right keys to move the lockpick left/right to the next tumbler. Press the move forward key to hit a tumbler and push it up. When the tumbler reaches the top, you have a limited amount of time to lock the tumbler in place by left clicking. Clicking at the wrong time, either when the tumbler is moving up or down, causes the tumbler to snap back into place and break the lockpick.
Higher leveled locks increases the number to tumblers and causes them to drop more quickly.
Increasing your security skill causes tumblers to drop more slowly.
Skyrim Minigame
---------------
Move Left Key - Moves the lockpick left
Move Right Key - Moves the lockpick right
Move Forward Key - Moves the lockpick up
Activate Key - Exits the minigame
Use the move left/right keys to move the lockpick. Press the move forward key to move the lockpick up. The closer the lockpick is to the sweet spot, the further the lockpick moves up. Placing the lockpick in the correct position opens the lock. Otherwise the lockpick stops and wobbles, decreasing its health until it eventually breaks.
Higher leveled locks have a smaller sweet spot size and decrease the amount of time a lockpick can wobble before it breaks.
Increasing your security skill increases the sweet spot size and increases the amount of time a lockpick can wobble before it breaks.
Two Worlds II Minigame
----------------------
Move Forward Key - Rotates the minigame view upward
Move Backward Key - Rotates the minigame view downward
Mouse Left Click - Click when over a gap to move the lockpick to the next layer
Mouse Right Click - Reverses the direction of lockpick rotation
Activate Key - Exits the minigame
In this minigame you are presented with a series of rings on different layers. Initially the lockpick is idle, click the left or right mouse button to start rotating the lockpick left or right. Left click when the lockpick is over a gap in a ring to move the lockpick into the next layer. Miss-clicking causes you to move back to the previous layer. Right click to reverse the lockpick's direction of rotation. The move forward and move backward keys are used to change the minigame's view angle. The lockpick breaks if you run out of time or if you miss-click three times.
Higher leveled locks have more rings and a faster moving lockpick.
Increasing your security skill increases the amount of time you have before the lockpick breaks.

Recommended Mods
----------------
Lock Bash Omega by tejon allows you to bash open locks with your weapons in case you run out of lockpicks or as an alternative for fighters.

Note: As illegal magic is in both mods, disable it in one mod to avoid possible issues.
Sneaking Detection Recalibrated by saebel overhauls the sneak mechanics to be more realistic. Sneaking is more important now that lockpicking occurs in real time.
HUD Status Bars
---------------
If you are using the HUD Status Bars mod, this allows you to display the number of lockpicks remaining, your security skill level, and lock difficulty level to your hud when lockpicking. Copy and paste the following to your 'Hud Status Bars.ini' file.

Compatibility
-------------
- For compatibility with Deadly Reflex 6 or mods that replace 1st person skeleton and animations with the 3rd person ones just open the ini file and change the cameraCompatibilityMode setting to 1.
- For compatibility with OOO or mods adding traps to objects, open the ini file and set the trapCompatibilityMode setting to 1.
- This mod does not require Oblivion.esm to be loaded so it should be compatible with total conversions such as Nehrim.
- May or may not be compatible with any mods that replace the 1st person skeleton or the idle.kf and sneakidle.kf animation files depending on what was changed.
- Not compatible with any mods that replace the vanilla lockpicks with mod added versions (e.g. Morrowind Lockpicking). It is only partially compatible with Zumbs.
Known Issues
------------
- When lockpicking in first person there is a slight head bob due to the animations causing the minigame appear to bob up and down.
- The security perk descriptions may not be accurate. No messages are displayed if you unlock any of the new perks.
- Unlike the original minigames you can't move the lockpick by moving the mouse.
Changelog
---------
0.8 beta (2012-02-07)
- Two Worlds II minigame added
- Fixed lockpicking when underwater
- The Skyrim minigame is now easier when in jail
0.7 beta (2012-01-18)
- Oblivion minigame added
0.1 (2011-10-26)
