[Relz]/[Beta] Ravenous Hunger - Thread #2

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 6:58 am

Beta V.1.3 is out now! Get it while it's hot!


Ravenous Hunger (RH) Beta V.1.3 Readme------What does this mod do?-------Ravenous Hunger takes many of the werewolf mods already released by others and joins them together while making major improvements to each of them. You'll also see new werewolf features such as night-eye toggling and player controlled howling.In the future you'll even see new Tamrielic lycanthropes added by this mod such as werelions and werebears.-------Features-------* New Werecreatures:***Werewolf***Werewolves are the most commonly sited lycanthrope in Tamriel. They are known to live in every province, however due to thestart of the Bloodmoon Prophecy an alarming number of them have begun to move towards Morrowind. Compared to many of the other lycanthropes, werewolves are toward the end of the food chain. The only lycanthrope weaker than a werewolf is the werevulture, however the only lycanthrope stealthier is the werelion. If you wish to play as a stealth based lycanthrope that islight on its feet, you may want to give the werewolf a try.There are now multiple werewolf variants based off of the normal Tamrielic wolves. Currently these include the following: -Common Werewolves - These have replaced the original BM werewolf.-Timber Werewolves - These werewolves are stronger than Common Werewolves, but weaker than Snow Werewolves.-Snow Werewolves - These werewolves have greater resistance to frost and are the strongest of the three werewolf types.***Werecrocodile***Under Construction***Werelion***Under Construction***Werebear***Under Construction***Wereboar***Under Construction***Werevulture***Under Construction***Wereshark***Under Construction* New Gameplay Changes:- Bloodlust is now willpower based meaning that you will have to eat less and less the higher your willpower is.- Each different lycanthrope has their own set of strengths and abilities that will fluctuate depending on your human stats.You'll also recieve a bonus to your human form if you have contracted lycanthropy that will fluctuate depending on the moon phases.- Becoming a known lycanthrope no longer ruins most of your game as it is based on areas now. Eventually people who have seen you change will forget your face allowing you to return to the place they saw you transform.- You will only be forced to transform when Secunda is full now. The only exception is during the Bloodmoon phases which will force you to transform each night.- New options for setting your Time Scale in-game have been put in. This helps balance the new lycanthrope abilities introduced with RH. (Recommended setting is 15).* New Immersive Effects:- Transformations are now slightly more dramatic. When the transformation begins your character will fall to theground and lose his/her vision. So a word of advice, DON'T transform near enemies and pay attention to the warning messages.- Using many of the new lycanthrope powers requires your character to concentrate. They will now close their eyes and stop moving when trying to will a power to start.- Your character will now automatically put his or her equipment on after changing back into their human form.- Improved Creature reactions when seeing lycanthropes. Now creatures will react unpredictably when they see you as a lycanthrope. Most will simply run, others will try an extra aggressive route, and some will use hit and run tactics if you try to pursue them.- Improved NPC reactions when seeing lycanthropes. Now people will actually run as soon as they see a lycanthrope. The default MW setup would make NPCs run only after a lycanthrope got close enough to touch them.* New Lycanthrope Abilities:- 'Enhance Vision' button. Simply lets you turn your night-eye on and off. This also works in human form but it's a much smaller magnitute and fluctuates according to the current moon phase. You must have a willpower level of 50 before you can activate it.- 'Enhance Sense of Smell' button. Lets you turn your detect creature ability on and off. Just like the enhanced vision this also works in human form but it's a much smaller magnitute and fluctuates according to the current moon phase. Must have 65 willpower to use it.- 'Lycanthrope Voice' button. This makes your character howl or roar depending on what lycanthrope he/she is. When you activate this action your character's controls will be disabled for 10 seconds. I suggest using it only before or after a fight.- 'Change-at-Will' button. Let's you change whenever you will it, but only if your character has a willpower of at least 80.Note: (Doesn't affect lycanthrope form) Endurance now affects how long you can keep these powers going and how often you can re-use these powers. However rather than Endurance, Willpower affects how long you can stay transformed after Changing-at-Will.You MUST choose which key you want to use for each button by completing the RH configuration menu. If you don't pick a key for each of these you will NOT be able to use them in your game.* General Additions:- You'll now find a few wild werewolves on Vvardenfell along with a few hiding in towns and cities.- New ingredients obtained only through killing lycanthropes. (Currently this only includes lycanthrope hearts but I plan to do a lot more with this)-------List of Suggested Mods-------Lin's Lock Bashing mod. It allows you to smash locks open as both a human and as a lycanthrope.------Requirements-------Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon.This mod also requires the newest version of Morrowind Script Extender. If you decide not to use Morrowind Script Extender, then this mod may not work as intended or even at all.------Installation and Playing-------Extract the rar archive file directly into your Morrowind/ folder. Make sure the meshes are in the data files/meshes folder, then textures in the data files/textures folder, sounds go in the data files/sound/cr/were folder, and the main .esp in the data files folder.After that, check off Ravenous Hunger.If you want to replace the werewolf textures with some of your own you can. To replace the Common Black Werewolf texture justmake sure they are named "Tx_Creature_Werewolf" and "Tx_Creature_Werewolf_1st", then drop them into your texture folder and overwrite any files it warns you about.If you want to replace the Snow Werewolf or Timber Werewolf textures go to Data Files/Textures/RH/Snow Werewolf or Data Files/Textures/RH/Timber Werewolf and place your textures in there. Be sure to rename them "TX_Skin" and "TX_Skin.1st". ( Note that only TGA files will work for these two werewolves. )You can also switch out the eyes of the werewolves if you want to. To change the Black Werewolf's eyes simply drag and drop an eye texture into you textures folder. Be sure it is named "TX_Creature_Werewolf_Eye".If you want to change the Snow Werewolf eyes or Timber Werewolf eyes simply rename the eye file to "TX_Snow_Eye" or "TX_Timber_Eye", then copy and paste it into either your Data Files/Textures/RH/Snow Werewolf folder or Data Files/Textures/RH/Timber folder. This mod should work just fine with old saves. If your character is already a lycanthrope, you'll have to transform a few times before the new features will take affect. MAKE SURE your character isn't already in werewolf form before you load Ravenous Hunger.If updating from a previous version of RH I would suggest that you turn off and delete your old copy. Then load your saves and resave them without RH activated. After that turn on the newer version and resave with it active. (Note: Any of your characters that were one of the new Lycanthropes will no longer have Lycanthropy.------Uninstalling-------Note: Make sure your character isn't in were-beast form.Delete the "Ravenous Hunger" file.Then delete the RH folders in your meshes and textures section of your data files.To delete the sounds, go to sounds/cr/were and remove everything EXCEPT for moan, roar, scrm, and anything that starts with the word "wolf".If you want to get rid of the default werewolf texture replacers simply delete "Tx_Creature_Werewolf", "Tx_Creature_Werewolf_1st", and "Tx_Creature_Werewolf_Eye" from the textures folder.-------Known Issues-------*Incompatibilities*Most of the incorporated mods will be incompatible with RH if used along side it.No other mods are yet known to be incompatible.*Bugs and Annoyances*NOTE: I have NOT purposely included any changes to the BM main quest yet. This means that you may find many things broken with it while playing the beta as I haven't had time to check over all of the quests. Please let me know if you see any bugs so that I can look into it.If you lose your configuration ring for the mod you can type this into your console to get it back: Player->additem "Were_ConfigureRing" 1 New areas added by mods can sometimes read strangely when dealing with the new Regionally Known Werewolf scripts.You'll probably still get annoying messages about having to kill as a lycanthrope even if your willpower is above 91, just ignore them for now.If you jump while running right before you transform your character will begin to 'ski' across the ground. To fix this, jump again and move in different directions a few times once your character stands back up.-------Future Plans-------Add the rest of the Tamrielic werecreatures.Hopefully implement some of the new lycanthropes into the original Bloodmoon main quest.Add some completely new quests for the lycanthropes.Include the ability to pass along lycanthropy and get lycanthrope companions out of it.Add new animations to make the different lycanthropes move more realisticly.Add biting as a secondary way to deal damage.Add a Daggerfall style Hircine's Ring with it's own quest as well as some brand new lycanthrope based artifacts.Randomize the Regionally Known Werewolf wait time to add a bit more realism to it and allow cities to randomly spread the word of you being a lycanthrope. Add a rage system that randomly forces the player to 'quickly' transform when you are close to death in human form.Completely overhaul the lycanthrope hunger system to something a little more realistic.Make Change-at-Will stats based on Secunda's phases.Add more Lycanthrope ingredients.Make my own black werewolf and timber werewolf textures.Fine-tune the snow werewolf texture.Fix the rest of the known bugs.-------Version History-------Beta V.1.0 - Initial Release including only the lite version.Beta V.1.1 - Fixed a problem with the sounds not installing to the right folder. Fixed the repeating messages bug. Put in a configuration ring for the new buttons. Howling now disables player controls for 10 seconds. Various other changes and fixes.Beta V.1.11 - Fixed the problem with the stats not resetting correctly after a transformation.Beta V.1.2 - Enabled the Werewolf Warning mod by Glassboy. Put in the first of the new lycanthrope ingredients. Change-at-Will willpower requirement has been lowered to 80 from 100.Beta V.1.3 - Streamlined many of the scripts and fixed a lot of the more annoying problems. Human form bonuses are now dependent on the phases of Secunda and will fluctuate according to them. Enabled a minor night-eye and detect creature togglefor your human form (Moon Phase Dependent). Willpower now affects how long you stay transformed when you Change-at-Will and how long you can keep your night-eye/detect reature on when in human form.Endurance now affects how often you can use your powers each day. Changed the NPC and Creature reactions when they see you in lycanthrope form to be more realistic. I've finally made my first attempt at retexturing the snow werewolf O.o .An new menu has been put in to allow the player to set the Time Scale in order to help keep many of the new abilities balanced. Major changes to balance have been made, some things are more difficult and some things are easier.Many more hidden features you'll have to discover by playing with the mod. -----Credits-----NOTE: I want everyone to understand that I take no credit for creating the mods that were incorporated into RH. The onlything that I did as far as those mods are concerned is modify what was already there. Without their amazing skills as moddersRH would be unimaginably worse.Bethesda, for creating the best game in existance.Demon Xen, for allowing me to use and modify his werecrocodile head.Phyntowasp & swrdphantom, for creating the werevulture feathers and head.Melchior Darhk, for creating the bases of the rest of the lycanthrope head models.Evil Eye, for helping me with some of the misc. scripts.Cortex, for his Werewolf Evolution script.Yacoby, for the Werewolf Re-Equip scripts, and for the new button selecting scripts.Glassboy, for his Werewolf Warning and Change at Will script.Zennorious, for his Regionally Known Werewolf scripts.Sabregirl, for her Werewolf Realism scripts.TheCandleTheif and Emberwolf, for allowing me to use their werewolf textures.Wolf3131, Haine3, Renegade167, and Predator_King for being unbelievably helpful through beta testing for me._Dormouse_, for writing the werevulture's flight script.Cyran0, for helping me with a major part of the Change at Will script.-----Contact and Permission-----You can contact me through the Elderscrolls forums as 'Wolvman'.I fully encourage other freelance modders to create retextures, model replacements, and sound enhancements for any of the lycanthropes added by Ravenous Hunger.If you wish to use anything from this mod be sure that if it is something from an incorporated mod that you give the correct credit to that mod's creator (not me).If you want to use anything else you need to contact me and ask for permission. If I don't get in touch with you within a week you can go ahead and use it as long as you give credit where it's due.

Heyo! Just made it through my first transformation and I'd just like to say it works great... but there are two (minor) things you might wanna look at in v 1.3:

1) Using howl works even if you're in menu mode; i.e. if you type "stopcombat" into the console and your howl button is assigned to "b" then it will activate as soon as you're out of the console. Not huge, but it was something that came up a few times.

2) Your werewolves are strong. VERRRRY STRONG. My lvl 20 argonian with a silver claymore and lvl 60 long blade ran up to attack one during one of the fight scenes in the MQ and took out about 1/16 of its health... maybe. In contrast, it only took one megaton punch from IT to one-hit-kill me. Even the skaal honor guards, which are pretty beefy and armed to the teeth with silver, needed three of their buddies to kill one werewolf. I dunno. Just struck me as a little overpowered for the stealthy lycanthropes.

Besides that, excellent work, everything works like a charm :goodjob:

Heheh, thanks for the info. I knew that some of the werewolves were strong, but I didn't think that I made them THAT strong. I'll check them out for the next release. About the howling in the menu thing, I haven't been able to really figure out a way that allows me to stop the button when the menu is up entirely. The best I could do at the time of writing the script was simply making it activate once the menu closes again. I'll look into it before the next release though. Maybe I'll be able to think of some improvements this time.

@Mr.Yuck ive noticed the werewolves are much weaker then vanilla werewolves :) but i could be mistaken. It might be from a previous thread the question was "how do you like the new lycanthropes" awnsers were too strong, too weak or just right. Most went with too weak and im still having problems with the downloading so im not sure with the new version mabye he changed it.

I think that those werewolves that Mr.Yuk was fighting had set stats from Bethesda, as I haven't touched the stats of the Skaal village werewolves.

This is great!!!
Love supernatural mods...
I'm working on one now, maybe over the next month or so I could like playtest and stuff??
This is nice, because I'm focusing on the hunting of the creatures aspect which is severely screwed out of the game, excepting "Witchhunter" as a class.
So making the evil side better and more realistic is great; and I've always preferred weres to vamps anyway.
Stupid frigging Twilight...
You guys know some one made a Rob Patterson face @ hair, chucked him in a house in Pelagiad, called him Edward Cullen, and he would attack you.
When you killed him you would recieve the Twilight books as loot???
I swear on Akatosh's scales. The entire freaking book was copied into Morrowind.
I attempted to burn it in a brazier, but unfortunately that doesn't work all the way...........
And I have no idea where to find it, it was completely random.
(And if I did I wouldn't tell you)

I dunno. If you watch the part of the MQ where you get infected the werewolves seemed to just dominate. I ended up consoling like eight of them dead so I could continue ( :hehe: ) and silver (at least in my build) does nil. And werewolf quests that were super difficult in vanilla I ended up blazing through... It's just something to look at, It could just be me :P

Also, I'm just curious... How are you looking at silver vs. lycanthropes in RH?

EDIT: Also note that with the incorporated werewolf evolution I'm about lvl 20, and I'm talking about just charging up to someone and hitting them, I could care less how much damage werewolves do in sneak :P

Elessar Telcontar: Heheh, thanks. That's pretty funny about the Twilight thing.

Mr. Yuk: Silver still does double damage to all lycanthropes. I'll double check the Skaal Village werewolves out to see what there stats are set to.

News: I have been getting a LOT done lately with the mod. But I still have a LOT left to do before the next release. I'll go into the specifics as I get closer to releasing it.

Other than that I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on how I can implement the other stats into the mod somewhere. Using just willpower for everything seems like a bad idea.

There were a few ideas I had awhile back...
1) Increasing human form strength as one gets closer to full moon and lowering willpower :D
2) Vice versa during new moon
3)Ditching of the whole "hircine ring" scripts and implementing a potion that a player can make via dialogue or some kinda funky alchemist's set that stops transformations for a day/ maybe even vice versa
4) Implementation of rituals the player can undergo to increase his power
5) Weekly transformations, transformations every three days, or transformations after the moon hits phase 3 (it's not hard to modify your scripts to do the latter, just thought I'd mention some of those :) )
6) Send werewolf hunters out in packs to fight lycanthropes (probably during bloodmoon)


Those were all some that I was wanting to tackle awhile ago but I'm retiring from Morrowind for a while and figured they didn't match up with the way I wanted to do my mod anyway :P Have at 'em, I'll probably be back in a few months to add some lycanthrope quests :D

EDIT: That is, if you want to... most of them aren't everyone's cup o' tea, so if you don't want them I'll hit 'em when I come back :D
EDIT #2: You could probably use endurance as a way to reduce hunger during transformation (just thought I'd add something relevant :D )

Do you mean full moon transformations or just every three days? Else, clarify?

If i can make a suggestion, after Tamriel Rebuilt is finished you should integrate RH with it: (http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/) Making them regional, for example, To be lore friendly Werecrocs should only be found in the Argon Jungle.

1. & 2. Working on it, but I'm not yet sure if I could get it stable enough to not cause problems.
3. Good Idea. I'll look into something like that. Although I'm definitely going to be keeping the old Hircine ring in the mod, but adding some other ways to go about giving the player some more control would be great.
4. Also good idea. I've been wanting to do some stuff like that for a long while now. Still, I won't have much time to work on that until I get done with the basic scripts first.
5. I'm probably going to give the player the option of choosing how often they want to be forced to transform through the configuration ring. So hopefully I'll have that covered for the next release.
6. I've also really been wanting to do that. Not sure how easy that will be though.

Edit #2 Answer: Willpower already handles that nicely, but I'm thinking of using Endurance to control how many times you can Change-At-Will each day without hurting yourself.


If i can make a suggestion, after Tamriel Rebuilt is finished you should integrate RH with it: (http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/) Making them regional, for example, To be lore friendly Werecrocs should only be found in the Argon Jungle.


I've really been wanting to do this, the only problem would be that it takes so long to get each of their maps out. I might release some expansions one map at a time rather than wait for them to complete everything.

I don't know if you fixed this already, but your problem with the howl activating when you're in a menu should be solved by adding this to the top of your howl script (after your variables are declared):

if ( menuMode == 1 )
return
endif

That makes sure nothing happens while you are in your inventory or the console.

Anyways, really looking forward to your next release. This is sounding awsome :thumbsup:

Thanks Epididamus, but that code has already been put into the Howling script. It seems to only hold the howl off until the menu is closed rather than just simply ignore the button when pressed.

Can't really help out with implementation but if you're looking for ideas, here's some thoughts:

I'd say, to any normal person, the realisation that they've become a werewolf is something to be appalled by. Unlike becoming a vampire (party all night, sleep all day) a werewolf is someone who's in thrall to the Beast, intelligence and humanity are lost with the transformation, one becomes an animal who's only intent on slaughter. The gradual realisation of this would cause a great crisis of conscience: do you continue to live knowing that regularly you commit unspeakable acts of bloodshed? Can you live with yourself? What kind of person would embrace this?

Have you ever seen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_American_Werewolf_In_London? Still an awesome movie. Anyway, after becoming infected the protagonist becomes more alive. His senses are keener, his physique improved and his appetites (all of them ;)) stronger. He likes what's happened to him.

Until he realises those odd dreams he's been having recently aren't just dreams...

Now, I'm not sure how one could replicate this in game. But, I guess what I'm saying is that lycanthropy should be more of a curse than a blessing. Transformations should have a random element (modified by Luck?) and happen at the worst possible times. For instance, is it possible to detect when an NPC greets the player? Could that be intercepted and a transformation check made then? Yes, it's awesome to rend and tear when you're facing enemies but an unwanted transformation when you're just trying to pass through town or buy a new shirt to replace the one you ripped to pieces last night...

So, I'm not that keen on the idea of the player being given any control over transformations either through a configuration interface or ingame (bar the Hircine ring). I just don't feel that you should be able to unleash the beast as you'd turn a tap on or off. Werewolves have to deal with the beast that lurks within all of us, there's just comes to the surface. With teeth. And frothing for blood.

Having said that, the introduction of some alchemical quest for ingredients that when combined will reputedly prevent transformation would be nice for someone RPing a PC who hates their new state.

Finally, a book I read some years ago: http://www.christiedikeason.com/books/quicksilver.html might give you some quest ideas.

Dragon32: Thanks for the input. I've not yet seen American werewolf in London, but I intend to. I also believe that most people (NPCs) would dislike knowing that they are a werewolf. So I am planning on putting that into the mod through dialogue with other lycanthropes. I'm not too sure about the random transformation happening all of the time. Maybe I could work it into a quest were you get cursed by a witch of Hircine or something and have to get it cured.

Mr. Yuk: That mod is great. Although I'll probably just make them randomly spawn the way DB Assassins do to keep things simple.

Other than that I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas on how I can implement the other stats into the mod somewhere. Using just willpower for everything seems like a bad idea.

If your looking for another stat to use mabye it would be a good idea for you to release three versions one for theives one for mages and one for warriors. For warriors strength for theives it would require agility and for mages, willpower. Warriors are normaly lycanthropes, as they can not use magic, so it doesnt make sense that you need to be a mage in order to become a lycanthrope [edit] with transform at will.

Also any news?
And have you thought about making a release threads at GHF?

Willpower, luck... *thinks* What about endurance (which governs resistance to diseases in Daggerfall), and intelligence? So, endurance would be sort of like your body's physical willpower. As for intelligence, a character with a higher base intelligence might retail a bit more of his or her reasoning skills when overtaken by the beast (a lycanthropic transformation)?

Thanks for the ideas guys.

I have made major improvements to the mod since version 1.2. Change-at-will has had a major overhaul with endurance now determining how many times you can transform each day and willpower determining how long you can stay transformed. I have also managed to get some of Yacoby's Werewolf Infection mod working (still have some more work to do on that however). I also finally put in some werecrocodile spawns, but I still have to fix up the model, texture, and sounds a little before release. Many more ingredients have been put in.

There's still lot's more to come on top of that.

I'm debating on whether or not I should implement misc. ways of forced transformations that work even during the day. Like for the rage caused transformations from getting hurt really bad over and over again or the random percent chance to transform from simply interacting with lots of people as suggested by Dragon32. To me it seems like it might be neat to have little things like that keeping the disease seeming like more of a curse than a gift. Then again it would probably be a lot of extra work and may even get annoying for a lot of people. It would at least bring the attribute of luck into the equation a little more. What do you guys think?

You could maybe have rage induced transformations, but I wouldn't like transformations from interactions with people, that would be uberly annoying.
If it's more work and not many people are too fussed about it then you might as well leave it.

I was wondering, could cooler transformations be put in place, like you could force 1st. person on the player, then blur the screen and play sounds or something, you know, that kinda atmospheric stuff.

I could, but it would require the use of MGE. Which is something I'm holding off until I get this other stuff out the door.

Heh. I know it could be annoying, but if you ask me:

What do you guys think?
Then it's this:

the disease [is] more of a curse than a gift.
