Sneaking Detection Recalibrated (SDR) - brief description:
This mod completely rewrites how sneaking/detection works. Complete details are on the main file site (see link above).
A brief list of the main features* are as follows:
- Takes into account the light falling on the detector as well as the player
- No skills are modified in any way
- All penalties / bonuses are calculated separately for each detector-player relationship
- Having a lit torch can cancel out any current or cast invisibility spell effects on the player.
- New spells to deafen/blind targets as well as muffle your character's noise, with custom spell icons.
- New spells for NPCs to cast blindness/deafness on the player.
- Extended sneak attack bonuses up through Master Sneak.
- Everything you have equipped impacts your sound penalties, not just boots.
- Equipped gear takes into account, clothing, light armor, heavy armor, and weapon (if drawn).
- Equipped gear penalties apply to player and NPCs.
- Sneak Skill-up bonuses for undetected assassinations
- New hearing/vision traits for all races and creatures. Takes into account peripheral and binocular vision angles.
- Sneaking NPCs can become transparent if not invisible.
- Chameleon refraction effects replaced with transparency.
- Designed for Oblivion and Nehrim.
- NPCs will actually cast Detect Life and Night-Eye spells and powers if they have them and are spooked.
- SM Combat Hide mod by Strategy Master is adapted and built in (with permission).
- New Perks, such as sneaking while sprinting and bypassing pressure plates and tripwires.
- Patches / Compatibility for Real Sleep Extended, Basic Primary Needs, Bare Necessities, Oblivion X.P., Druid Mod Remade, Thieves Arsenal, and Reneer's Guard Overhaul.
- Dynamically changing Night-Eye effect that changes in color and peripheral constraints depending on the lighting conditions.
- Fully customizable to taste via .ini file settings.

THE RULES:
1. If you are asking about how SDR works, you must read the .ini User Guide first before asking here.
2. I have decided to stop development on SDR. It's done. I am not taking any more requests, so if I don't respond, please don't think me rude.
3. If there is a problem, it is most likely one of three things:
- The SDR OBSE plug-in is not installed correctly
- Another mod is conflicting with one or more settings (usually disabling/changing an .ini setting in either of the mods will solve the problem)
- There really is a problem with SDR (you must have tested SDR on its own with no other mods installed to claim this)
To properly trouble shoot an issue:
- Read the documentation thoroughly first. It will most likely answer your question, or provide a method to solve your problem.
- If there is a conflict with another mod or some other weird behavior, you may only need to change a setting in the .ini. See documentation.
- Search this thread or previous ones to see if the issue has already been reported and solved.
If you still haven't solved the problem, I am more than happy to help. You must include the following information in your post:
- A brief description of the issue
- Which versions of SDR and OBSE you are using.
- A detailed description of the issue
- Your load order
- Links to videos or images that might show more detail on the problem (if applicable/possible)
If you discover an issue and resolve it, please post the issue and the solution in this thread so that others may find it.
