Cliffworms

I'm surprised this old thread I created in 2009 and stopped maintaining a long time ago is still pinned, despite most of the links not working. I'm afraid I won't ever have the time to update it. I've been out of the loop of Oblivion's modding scene in a very long time. :D

I don't think it causes crashes. Both mods use different scripts with different values. So at worst you'd hear dungeon sounds more often. I still recommend to remove Oblivifall's sounds and keep Sounds of Cyrodiil. It's one less mod on your list and you get to keep dungeon sounds. :) The configuration setup is found in the readme. You have to open the console and type StartQuest CliffSoCConfig It allows you to disable several categories of sound effects (Tavern chatter, town shouts, etc.) I totally agree with your points. I was listening to how it sounds a few days ago and was surprised that these were the settings I kept by default. Well, I did make the mod 4-5 years ago so I had a different mindset about sounds mods then. So I was thinking of updating it by balancing the volume, disabling tavern/town chatter and cat sounds by default (while still allowing the player to enable them via the configuration) and several other changes. Thanks for the feedback!

The only conflict I remember is that Oblivifall's Ambiant Dungeon SFX and SoC add sounds inside dungeons. They use the same system too. So there's no real conflict, but the sounds will just play more frequently. If you want to keep Oblivifall's SFX, you can disable SoC's dungeon sounds by running its configuration setup. I'm curious to know what you recommend to improve it. I'm always open to new suggestions. :)

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look. :) No, Last Call does not touch anything outside the taverns. The rumor about undead after dark is just to spice things up a bit. :) The two mods you talk about are very interesting too. Seems like Last Call will go well with them.

No I did not try this game. Is there a court system in it? In Daggerfall, once the guard arrest you, you have the choice to surrender or resist. If you surrender, you are sent to court where the judge informs you of your crime, the number of gold to pay in fines and the days you'll stay in prison if found guilty. You then have the choice to plead guilty and get the fine and prison time reduced, or try to lie or debate why you are not guilty. (Using Speechcraft). Also, if you have a high rank in the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood, your friends can convince the judge to let you go or reduce your sentence time. (Convince? Hmm.. more like intimidate... :) ) There are functions to detect what crime the player committed. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Yep! Last Call! may be the last module, though. I do have other modules I worked on a bit, but I'm still not sure if I'll finish them. Court/Justice system, new loot and Daedra Prince summoning like in Daggerfall. They're still at very early stage. I have several new screenshots, showing dialogue. There are around 800 dialogue entries, most of those being rumors and greetings spoken only in taverns. Drunks share ridiculous rumors and adventurers talk about artifacts. All the new NPCs don't really like to be bothered while they have a drink. If you greet them and their disposition is less than 30, they will get annoyed and their disposition will drop. The more annoyed they get, the more they'll insult you. Patron slightly annoyed by the player greeting him Orc barbarians tend to be slightly aggressive Nords can also have a bad temper A patron sharing a ridiculous rumor Minstrels don't like being interrupted while they play Just a typical nobleman recommending a good bottle of wine Paying 5 septims to a minstrel leads to quest-related rumor Another minstrel sharing a quest-related rumor One of the regulars' greeting

That's what I was gonna say lol I see Oblivifall is a serie, IDK how I haven't heard of it before. Added to my (scarely growing) list of mods to try! Thank you for the comments. :smile: I was more active working on Oblivifall before Skyrim's release. I started Last Call...seven years ago. I restarted the project from scratch twice during that time, but third time's always best. It's been sitting so long on my computer that I have to finish it once and for all. I totally forgot to post links to the other Oblivifall modules. I've put them in the thread and also at the end of this post. Now should anyone have questions, I'm all ears. :smile: Losing My Religion - An expansion to Oblivion's religions, it splits the Nines in nine different factions, gives a unique atmosphere to each chapel, adds knightly orders and services unique to each religion. Something's Not Right - Adds descriptive messages when closing in on a dungeon's entrance Ambiant Dungeon SFX - 60+ sound effects played in dungeons from random directions at a random time, themed on the dungeons' inhabitants Let's Talk - A dialogue expansion where you can pay scouts for directions, ask about a Tamriel organization and new rumors. Closing Time - Modifies the shopkeepers' schedules depending on the shop type so that they are not all opened from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening. Races and classes descriptions - Changes the game's races, classes and skill descriptions with those from Daggerfall and Morrowind, giving much more background information and lore.

OBLIVIFALL http://static.zenimax.com/forums.bethsoft.com/public/style_emoticons/default/foodndrink.gif- Last Call! - http://static.zenimax.com/forums.bethsoft.com/public/style_emoticons/default/foodndrink.gif "There you can have a flagon of ale, enjoy the bard's versifications, and chat with the pub regulars. Some of the greatest adventures have had their starts in smoky, noisy taverns." - The Daggerfall Manual, p.58 What is it about? Oblivifall - Last Call should be the last module to complete my Oblivifall series of mods; a series that adds new gameplay elements that were found in The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall (Links to the other released modules are found at the end of the post). Last Call is about enhancing the mood in taverns and inns by adding patrons like citizens, minstrels, bouncers, serving gals/guys, adventurers, prostitutes/courtesans and more along with drinking contests, fistfights and, possibly, dialogue-based gambling. This project is basically about making taverns feel like busy places where people from all social classes and professions come to relax, share rumors and perform shady deals while listening to the bard's songs and stories. Features ​Over 1600 new NPCs​Generic NPCs: Travelers from a leveled list of various professions and backgrounds who spawn inside Cyrodiil's inns and taverns. They are replaced anytime a tavern cell resets (Three days by Oblivion default). Includes Arena combatants, assassins, barbarians, warriors, crusaders, farmers, herders, pilgrims, thieves, etc. (Full list of NPC classes at the end) Regulars: Composed of named peasants, commoners and nobles, those citizens are the taverns' main customers. They fill the tavern during the busy hours (Dawn, Noon and Dusk). They arrive at the tavern during those hours to eat, drink, dance and chat. If you become a regular, you may start noticing a few faces you saw before. ​Minstrels: Minstrels travel around Cyrodiil to play their lute and learn the latest rumors. Some minstrels are entertainers to the courts of Cyrodiil, others play in the streets during the day and move to taverns at night. Other than playing their lute, they can also offer services to the player for some septims: Rumors: Bards are the best source of information. They hear and participate in the taverns' discussions. For 5 septims, they will inform the player of rumors and information they heard. There are more than 100 rumors, all based on quests the player has or hasn't completed along with other main events.Storytelling: For 75 septims, the minstrel can make up a story about your good or evil deeds each month. This will increase your fame or infamy by five points. When your fame or infamy is high enough, storytelling will no longer be possible.Tipping: You can also simply tip the minstrel while he's performing to show your gratitude. Tip enough and you'll put a smile on his face while he's playing his lute! (An unintended but very nice side effect)Special NPCs: These characters can interact with the player in interesting ways: Bounty Hunters: May recognize and confront the player if he has a bounty on his head. (Minimum 250 gold)Healers: For a fee, healers can restore the player's health, cure his diseases or perform a full restoration.Traveling Merchants: They carry around various miscellaneous wares for sale and can buy some loot from the player.Vampire Hunters: Armed with vampire-slaying weapons, they will spot and attack the vampire player after some time if the player stays in his sight for long enough.Serving Gals/Guys: These people are employed by some of the bigger/busier establishments. They will greet the player when he sits down, offering him drinks and food. They also give information about their establishment's services.Prostitutes/Courtesans: Prostitutes are found in some low-class taverns and inns and can provide a good night's rest for a small fee. Courtesans, on the other hand, are trained in erotic instruction at the House of Dibella and are found in high-class inns. An expensive night with a courtesan will grant the player a small bonus to his personality and endurance for a limited time.Bouncers: Mostly composed of Nords and Orcs, bouncers are there to throw out drunkards and undesirable patrons. Trained in hand-to-hand, they will try to break fights, hopefully before the city guards arrive.Fences: These freelance smugglers are direct competitors to the Thieves Guild. They appear at certain dates, at certain times and at certain places to sell or buy hot merchandise from other freelancers.Dancers: In low-class and mid-class establishments, some patrons will stand up and dance to the minstrel's moving songs. Real-Time Drinking ContestsA popular gambling game among adventurers and hard-working peasants, drinking contests test the contestants' alcohol resistance. The first to fall unconscious loses! Contestants can be found in several taverns, mug in hand. Rules: The two contestants agree to a bet. The first to fall unconscious loses his bet and the winner earns it. If both contestants fail, they get their bet back. (And they look funny, lying on the floor in the middle of the tavern until they regain consciousness) Alcohol resistance: The higher a contestant's Endurance, the more resistant he is. Orcs and Nords have a higher resistance than other races. Luck also plays a part. Being very lucky will increase your resistance. Fistfights​While illegal, some taverns open their basement to fistfights for high-paying customers which are mainly comprised of nobles and other high class characters. Participate in fights to earn money or place bets on contestants. These special VIP clubs are also home to drug dealing and other shady activities. You'll need to be a good friend with the owner to pay your way into the nobles' den of depravity. Cats & rats​Cats have always been important to tavern owners. Do not be surprised to see a cat wandering about the inn's basement looking for their prey. On the other hand, some low-class establishments cannot afford cats, so do not also be surprised to see a small rodent or two in your room. Horses outside tavernsTo simulate the come and go of travelers on the road, different species of horses populate the stables and exteriors of roadside establishments.

Thank you for the offer DarkSun, but I already have a lot of burial sound effects. :thumbsup: While it does stay cleared forever, I am sure there is a script function that checks when the place has been cleared. When you return to a dungeon that has respawned, you'll still hear the "cleared" music after you killed the last enemy. So there must be a function called "GetDungeonCleared" or something similar that triggers the music. The looped high peak winds are already in the game. They might be played not as loud as their source files, but they are there. There are very few sounds that get added to the game's default sound directories. Most sounds are additions and need scripts or hand-placed emission points to play.

Thanks! I did worked as a video editor for some time and had to do some audio editing in the process. ;) Thanks! As mentioned in the videos, they will blend with the game's soundscape in-game. They were played louder in the videos only so you could clearly notice them.

The trailers are now online. Select the trailer of your choice. At the end, you'll be directed to the other two trailers. Enjoy! :D It's puzzling me. Yesterday I killed the last enemy of the dungeon and the "cleared music" played. He was not as strong as the others but he was in the last room. So it be related with both the location of the player or the last enemy.

The monster sounds played in dungeons indeed play randomly. But there might be a way to disable them once a dungeon is cleared. When the CK will be released, I will verify how the game can state that a dungeon has been cleared (Like when you look at your minimap). If it checks if no enemies remain in the dungeon, this will mean that it's possible to remove every monster-related sound once you've cleared it out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :thumbsup: For the cities, the sounds also play randomly. For instance, you'll never see the far away person who has just shouted "I won't pay money for that...it's garbage!!". Or there are even cats, while not present in the game, they are present in the cities in the world's lore and books. This said, Sounds of Skyrim can be customized so you can remove sounds you don't want to hear. For example, if you want to remove the dungeon's monster sounds you can replace them with a silent file that comes with the mod. It's a good way to keep only what you want in your game. :) Sounds of Skyrim will also come in a modular form; should you prefer to use the Wilds and Special Events sounds but not Civilization and the Dungeons for instance.

A somewhat big update, considering that I haven't given updates yet! All sounds have been found, edited and are ready to be put in the game once the CK is released. SoS will add around 470 sound effects to all areas of the game. Here are the links to samples from the Dungeons, Civilization and Special Events sound sets: The Dungeons Civilization Special Events About the project's distribution....Sounds of Skyrim will be released in modular form and a Full version. There will be a module for Civilization, The Wilds, The Dungeons and Special Events so the users will be able to install the module they are interested in. The Full version is simply all modules put together. Sounds of Skyrim will come with an in-game config with which the user can enable/disable certain sound effects such as looped chatter in cities or taverns. The folder structure also allows the user to remove or add his own sound effects so they can be played in Skyrim. For example, a user can record himself shouting insults and place it in the "CitySoundsReverb" folder to hear his voice in the game's cities. :P At the moment and I am not changing the game's sound effects. Sounds of Skyrim is a sound addition. A project like Oblivion's Symphony of Violence would be great. :D Thank you for the suggestion. At the moment everything's fine and dandy. I'll keep you in mind for future projects though!

Sounds of Skyrim What does it do? Like my Oblivion project, Sounds of Cyrodiil, Sounds of Skyrim adds around 450+ sound effects to the game that are played from thousands of hand-placed sound emission points. Sounds of Skyrim affects most cells and regions. From Civilization to the Dungeons; From the Wilds to Special Events, all situations will benefit from sound additions. The time of day gives you a different atmosphere. So when walking in the city streets during the day, you’ll hear the echo of people shouting in the distance, doors opening and closing, workers hammering roofs. While at night, cats fight for territory, dogs bark, drunkards yell. In dungeons, the enemy type that lives in them will make itself heard. In an undead infested dungeon, zombies moan and spirits shriek. In Dwemer Ruins inhabited by the Falmer, their screams alert you of their presence. Like most sound effects, there is a random delay between each sound and a random direction when it happens so you can never guess what sound will play next, when and where it will come from. Thus, keeping you on the edge in dungeons and creating a nice audio environment in civilized areas. The other main feature is being able to hear the outside from the inside. If you get close to windows inside buildings, you’ll hear what’s going on outside. If you’re in a wilderness cabin, you’ll hear the nature sounds around you. If you’re in the entrance of a cave and look outside, you’ll hear the birds and other animals going about their lives. If you're in your house and you look outside, you'll hear what's going in the street. If it's raining, you'll hear the ripples hit the windows and if there's a thunderstorm raging outside, you'll hear the occasional lightning strike. In taverns, patrons chat, yell they want more wine, burp, cough or laugh out loud. When wandering on the city streets in the evening, walk by a tavern and you'll hear the activity from outside. In the Wilds, climb mountains and hear a monster's screaming echo or a far away avalanche. Take a walk in the forest and hear small mammals running from you in the bushes and grass. In Special Events, certain quests or events will have received some audio goodness/additions. For instance, when a dragon flies above a town, you'll hear the soldiers sounding the battle horn and the villagers screaming for their lives. Sounds of Skyrim is about overhauling your Skyrim audio experience. It's about making the game pretty for your ears. For your ears' pleasure Civilization Sounds Samples Dungeon Sounds Samples Special Events Samples As the sounds get designed and edited, I will be adding them to a setlist on Sounds of Skyrim's SoundCloud page. You can easily select which sound compilation you want to listen to on the same page. Enjoy! Trailers Detailed Soundlist Most of the sounds included in the list can be heard from inside if you’re in a building where you can hear them. For instance, if you’re in a farmhouse that has cows nearby at night, you’ll hear wolves howling, owls, crickets and the cows. Have a suggestion? Share it. If it's about a quest, please put in spoiler tags. ;) Click the Spoiler Button to unleash the list. You have sound addition ideas, suggestions and comments? I'm all ears. :foodndrink:

There's an in-game config menu that allows you to disable the looped sfx should you find it immersion breaking. The config also allows you to disable other looped sound effects. ;) You'll find information on it in the readme. :thumbsup:

An update has been released: 1. Replaced several of the tavern songs and re-arranged the existing ones. 2. Turned down the volume on all sound effects. 3. Replaced the "Rain Hitting Window" sound effect. 4. Sounds of Cyrodiil's archive is now compressed in 7z format for smaller size. Thanks! While you can hear dogs or cats in a city where there is none in the game, it doesn't mean there's a not a single dog in the city in the world it takes place in. Oblivion's places are largely scaled down from how big and populated they'd be in the actualy world. And cats are found in a lot of places in Tamriel. It's not because you don't see one that they're not there. ;) 1) The looped tavern SFX will indeed play even if there are only 2 occupants. But this sound plays only between 18h and 4am (Or 2am for high class taverns) 2) No the dungeons sounds regardless if a dungeon has been cleared or not.

Sounds of Cyrodiil Version 1.1 - 07/08/2011 Download @ TESNexus Instructions on how to install and uninstall are in the readme. Changelog: What does it do? Sounds of Cyrodiil adds around 200+ sound effects to the game world that are played from 5400+ hand-placed sound emission points. It affects every cell, region and more in the game. From Civilization to the Dungeons; From the Wilds to Special Events, No environment is left soundless anymore. The time of day gives you a different atmosphere. So when walking in the city streets during the day, you’ll hear the echo of people shouting in the distance, doors opening and closing, workers sawing things. While at night, cats fight for territory, dogs bark, drunkards yell. In dungeons, the enemy type that lives in them will make itself heard. In an undead infested dungeon, zombies moan and spirits yell. In a daedric cave, demonic voices are heard around you. Like most sound effects, there is a random delay between each sound and a random direction when it happens so you can never guess what sound will play next, when and where it will come from. Thus, keeping you on the edge in Dungeons and never bored in cities and taverns. The other main feature is being able to hear the outside from the inside. If you get close to windows inside buildings, you’ll hear what’s going on outside. If you’re in a tent, you’ll hear the wilderness around you. If you’re in the entrance of a cave and look outside, you’ll hear the birds and other animals going about their lives. If you're in your house and you look outside, you'll hear what's going in the street. Sometimes you might hear a noisy drunkard who left the tavern and even neighbors yelling each other to shut up as they're trying to sleep. In taverns, patrons chat, yell they want more wine, burp, cough or laugh out loud. When wandering on the city streets in the evening, walk by a tavern and you'll hear the activity from outside. There are also songs that are played in those fine establishments. Depending on the social class of the tavern (Low, Mid, High), you get a different song set and a different sound set. Patrons burp and yell more in low class taverns than in high class ones. In the Wilds, take a stroll on the Gold Coast and listen to the ocean waves hitting the shore. Climb mountains and listen to the wind becoming colder and louder as you get to the peak. Take a walk in the forest and hear small mammals running from you in the bushes and grass. In Special Events, certain quests or events have received some audio goodness. See in the detailed soundlist below for more information, since it contains spoilers. Finally, this mod would never have been possible without the contribution of many sound recorders and artists from Freesound.org. There’s a file in the archive with the credits for everyone who made the sounds. A HUGE thanks to them, otherwise the sounds would not have been as high quality and as numerous as they are now. Sounds of Cyrodiil is about overhauling your Oblivion audio experience. It's about making the game pretty for your ears and immersion. You've got my ear citizen. Cliffworms :foodndrink: Trailers Before checking the soundlist, I invite you to view and hear the video trailers that show each part of Sounds of Cyrodiil in action: (Quest spoilers!)

Recommended Mods for SoC and Compatibility Sounds of Cyrodiil affects most in-game areas but other mods do a wonderful job to get the best audio experience in Oblivion. There are also visual mods that blend perfectly with Sounds of Cyrodiil because of the area they affect. Storms and Sound by Deathless Aphrodite Download Why : Storm & Sound allows you to hear the rain and thunder from inside buildings. It’s even more immersive since SoC places sounds of rain hitting windows inside buildings. Oblivion Stereo Overhaul by Canderoc Download Why : Canderoc has provided an excellent sound mod that improves the quality of several sounds by tweaking them and enhancing their stereo. It also adds 42 new sound effects for thunder and wind. Atmospheric Oblivion by PirateLordX Download Why: Atmospheric Oblivion adds new sounds to dungeons and the wilderness which add even more immersion when combined with Sounds of Cyrodiil. Better Bell Sounds by Morbus Download Why : The default bell sounds emitted from the cities’ cathedrals only have a short range to hear them. This mod makes you hear them from all over the city and also from inside the cathedrals. Symphony of Violence by MigTheGreat Download Why : This mod merges the best combat sounds improvements from other authors for a better, more visceral combat audio experience. All Natural by Chong Li, WrinklyNinja, Arthmoor and Brumbek Download Why : Not only does it greatly improve the weather system and visuals, but it also gives natural lighting to the indoors, allows you to look at the sky and hear the weather from the windows. Immersive Interiors by SomeWelshGuy Download Why : SomeWelshGuy has done an outstanding mod that allows you to look at the city streets from inside, greatly enhancing the immersion when you enter buildings. Immersive Interiors gives the possibility of looking at the streets while Sounds of Cyrodiil allows you to hear the city life from inside. A must with Sounds of Cyrodiil! Note that All Natural is required to run Immersive Interiors. Compatibility Sounds of Cyrodiil comes with an in-game config menu that allows you to disable or enable certain sound effects. Those include the temple music, tavern music, tavern chatter and city chatter. So if you already have a mod that adds one of those and you want to keep them, you can disable Sound of Cyrodiil's. If you use BetterMusicSystem or simply music in general, you'll need to de-activate SoC's tavern and temple music or they'll overlap. The following audio mods are not recommended to be used with Sounds of Cyrodiil as the sounds will overlap. Sounds of Cyrodiil already improves on what these mods offer so they are not needed: More Immersive Sound (And Edited) by Achanonier or Brumbek Ambient Town Sounds (And Edited) by Lendrik or Brumbek Oblivifall - Ambient Dungeon SFX by Cliffworms Sounds of Cyrodiil Add-Ons In this section, I will update the list mods that have been patched to integrate Sounds of Cyrodiil's sounds and scripts. Instruction on how to install those add-ons and what they do specifically are included in their respective archive on the page where you'll have downloaded Sounds of Cyrodiil. If you have a suggestion of mod you'd like to see with a SoC's version, let me know and I will gladly do it. - Open Cities Classic & Reborn (You must enable a setting in SoC's in-game config menu for it to fully work. Refer to the readme for instructions) - Heart of the Dead - Knights of the Nine - Mehrune's Razor - Thieves' Den Known Errors Sometimes, it’s possible that a looped sound will stop playing after you pause the game (Opening a menu, talking to people). Leaving the zone and entering again (Or reloading your game) will make the sound return. When the game is paused like above, no sounds will play except the weather or the NPC’s voice. This is engine-related and cannot be fixed. When loading a tavern, it is possible that the tavern songs will switch during the loading screen. It returns to normal once you enter the cell. Looped sound effects that play at specific time will sometimes start playing when you enter the area they're in even though they're not supposed to play. These sounds will quickly fade out as you enter the cell. Credits Sounds of Cyrodiil would never have been possible without the kind generosity of many authors on FreeSound.org.

Greetings JMiller, I've been working on a project named "Last Call!" that does exactly this and a bit more. Last Call is part of my Oblivifall project, which introduces many elements from Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall. Populated and atmospheric Inns were part of Daggerfall's goodness. :) It greatly enhances the tavern/inn atmosphere by doing the following (copied from my WIP thread located here: Around 1200+ NPCs who populate taverns These random NPCs of different professions populate the wilderness inns and city taverns. Commoners, peasants, nobles, knights, hunters, vampire hunters, werewolf hunters, legionnaires, warriors, mages, assassins, healers, travelers, pilgrims, barbarians, archers, crusaders, knights, rogues and more go to the tavern at night to drink, chat or dance. Loot! The new NPCs carry/wear new loot inspired by Daggerfall's items. Every new item are ressources made by the wonderful community. Introduces CorePC's Minstrels of Cyrodiil Storytellers, singers, dancers or just all-around performers, Minstrels are often seen entertaining in taverns. Minstrels travel from city to city to entertain the patrons in taverns, to perform a street show or even to entertain the city's count/countess. If you are taking a flagon of ale and spot a new patron with a lute attached on his back, then sit tight. He'll most likely entertain you in a couple of minutes. Minstrels are the only source of music in taverns. (Sorry, the dwemer have not built iPods stations). When the minstrel starts playing his music, you'll most likely see some patrons dancing to his music. Though in high class taverns, they prefer to ignore the minstrel and chat about the tax raise. Minstrels can be tipped for disposition bonuses. So be kind and encourage the poor guys! Atmospheric Inns "You can get a room with relative privacy, have a flagon of ale, enjoy the bard's versifications, and chat with the pub regulars. Some of the greatest adventures have had their starts in smoky, noisy taverns." - The Daggerfall Manual Inns are busy places filled many interesting characters. The type of patrons you'll see depends on the social class of the inn. Lower-class taverns, such as the Bloated Float, is home to thieves, assassins, rogues and poor peasants. While the high class inns are filled with nobles, wealthy traveling merchants along with the occasional knights and crusaders. Mid class inns have a variation of each patron type. From the traveling monk to the vampire hunters. You might see some people dance sometimes as well. If you are member of a faction, you'll be nicely surprised to see that you're not the only guild member traveling about. In fact, most thieves and rogues belong to the Thieves Guild, most warriors to the Fighters Guild and most Mages to the Mages Guild. The social class really affects your experience in these establishments. You won't find the best wines in the Grey Mare, nor will you find cheap beer in the Tiber Septim Hotel. Don't be surprised to see rats wandering about in your room in the Five Claws Lodge, or even catch a disease after an unconfortable night in dirty linens. You'll feel more relaxed with the sound ambiance of high class establishments. It's not very polite to yell and laugh out loud, unlike in The Flowing Bowl where you'd better have earplugs because the patrons won't care if you're sleeping or not. Some high class inns offer you additional services, sometimes free. Such as free food at the Tiber Septim Hotel. Some owners have access to the latest Black Horse Courier issues. Now you get what you pay for and deciding the play to stay might be more interesting. Rats/Disease and a bedroll or free food, entertainment and a real bed? Most taverns have a new type of NPC to add to the atmosphere: Waiters. Take a seat and you'll soon be greeted by the waiter who will take your order. If you're still undecided, wait a bit and she'll come back to you. Another type of NPC present in taverns: Wenches and Courtesans. They serve for roleplaying purposes only and do not give any bonuses or benefit when you use their services. Wenches are present in most low class establishment and Courtesans are in most mid and high class inns. Wenches are one of the Thieves Guild many sources of income. As such, they live miserable lives, forced to work for Tamriel's organized crime guild. On the other side, Courtesans are men and women who have followed Erotic Instruction at one of Dibella's Cult of Physical Beauty. I plan on releasing it before Skyrim, so probably by the end of Summer or start of Fall. :)

The project is not yet released but almost is. All sound points have been placed, all scripts are working and functional. I have some more recording/editing to do and a bit of testing. After that, your Oblivion's audio experience should upgrade significantly. ;)

Time go down deep in Cyrodiil's Dungeons, where monsters do not hesitate to make themselves heard when one trespasses in their lair. The Dungeons' sounds are scripted by Phitt. When exploring a dungoen, an invisible scripted activator moves around the player at random positions, playing a random sound effect with a randomized delay between each sound. As such, the atmosphere is more unique and you can never predict what creepy sound effect you'll hear next. Each dungeon type (Forts, Ayleid Ruins and Caves) have base sound effects such as rocks cracking or mystical sounds for ruins but, if the dungeon is inhabited by the Undead or Daedras, fitting sound effects are played in addition to the base sounds. If you don't know what monster lives in the dungeon you've just explored, listen around you. You might hear a zombie moan far, far away. This said, feast your ears on the sounds in action:

Sounds of Cyrodiil I love to play Oblivion with music turned off to immerse myself in the world without having an orchestra following me. While Oblivion offers a superb sound atmosphere, it's always a good thing to expand it. The cities' sound ambiances are composed only of natural sound effects such as wind and birds. The interior of houses are soundless. So I launched my sound editing software, gathered sound effects and started playing with creating sound atmospheres. What started a while ago as a city soundpack has evolved into something much deeper in terms of sound experience. Welcome to Sounds of Cyrodiil, where the Wilds, the Dungeons and Civilization get an audio overhaul! What does it do? Sounds of Cyrodiil overhauls the audio of Cyrodiil's three main locations: The Wilds, The Dungeons and Civilization. SoC is about adding around 200 professionally recorded sound effects and sound atmospheres to immerse you in these locations. It's also about hearing sounds in areas you previously couldn't, such as hearing footsteps on the tavern's first floor while you're plundering the cellar or hearing what's going on in the streets while you're looking through the window. It's about keeping you on the edge in a tomb by hearing the echo of a zombie moan coming from far away. It's about these and more. Refer to the sound list below to learn more about the sounds covered in the Wilds, the Dungeons and Civilization. Also view the videos to see it all in action. Sound List The Wilds More animals (And new ones), water sounds and weather additions. Around 30 new frog or bull frog sounds for swamp areas. Around 20-25 new bird sounds for forests, mountains, swamps and plains. Rain hitting tents. Insects flying-by your character's ears. Birds flying away. Strong, constant heavy wind on high mountain tops. (Like Dive Rock) Cold, constant chilling gusts of wind in the Jerall Mountains. 6 new short gusts of cold wind for northern Cyrodiil. Rare occurance of hearing an avalanche happening far away in the Jerall Mountains. Rare occurance of hearing a strange creature's scream echo in the Jerall Mountains. Rodents running in the grass at night. Calm and strong Ocean waves on the Gold Coast and the coast south of Leyawiin. Water waves' impact on small embarkations. Wolves howling in the distance. Movements from small animals in the bushes/grass. Rope bridges' supports and railing squeaking/being unstable Bee nests in several locations The Dungeons Sounds are generated at a random position around the player with a random time between each sounds, keeping the player on the edge for danger. Depending on what type of monsters inhabits the dungeon (Undead, Daedras or Standard/Humans), the sounds are different. Caves 12 Cave Creaking sounds Rocks falling and hitting ground in the distance in caves Ayleid Ruins 6 mystical sounds All Dungeons/Sewers Bats flapping by your head Small rodents squeaking around 6-10 sounds of doors opened and closed in the distance. Small bugs running by. 7 chilling sounds for undead-infested lairs such as zombies moaning in the distance or wraiths screaming...somewhere. 16 creepy sounds for daedric-infested lairs such as deep voices talking in an unrecognizable language or magical sounds. Civilization Basement Atmosphere People's footsteps walking by above your head Chairs being pulled/pushed Doors being opened and slammed shut "Window" Atmosphere - Hear what's going on outside from the inside of buildings depending on your location. When raining or during thunderstorms, listen to the rain hitting the building's windows when getting close to them. (Rain is only heard close to windows) In cities, listen to people shouting, cat fights, dog barks, drunkards leaving the tavern laughing/yelling/singing, doors being slammed. Different sound atmosphere for daytime and nighttime. Near beaches/docks, hear the ocean waves, ships rigging and seagulls In farms, hear farm animals if there are any nearby. (Sheep by default, but options for hens/chickens and cows) In stables, hear the horses. In the wilds, hear the wilderness animals. (Birds/Wolves/Crickets depending on time) Tavern Atmosphere Patrons talking, laughing, yelling, coughing, burping, Chairs being pulled, Ustensils and dishes falling and smashing on the floor 9 Tavern Songs (3 Tavern songs by social class of tavern) = Low Class Tavern Sample, Mid Class Tavern Sample, Upper Class Tavern Sample = Listen to the tavern's sound ambiance when closing on the door or windows connected to it. = Low Class Tavern Sample, Upper Class Tavern Sample = Street Atmosphere People shouting Cats fighting Dogs barking Doors being opened and slammed shut. Children laughing Workers sawing wood/using tools Listen to the Imperial City Arena's matches from the outside = Listen to Sample = Farm animals in the distance (Only farms that have animals) Blacksmiths hammering in their forge (Heard only when passing by a blacksmith shop) Temples Beautiful, godly atmosphere for Mara and Dibella's chapels Deep, godly atmospheres for the male Deities' chapels. Monk chants for Stendarr's Chapel Hall echo atmosphere during nighttime Other Civilization sounds Potions boiling in shops, houses and Mages Guild offices where alchemical appartuses are located. Snoring for 122 NPCs when they are asleep. The Arcane University's Pink Fire has been given a magical touch. = Listen to sample = All castles have a looping, echoed atmosphere. Looping Atmosphere for the Imperial Library in which you can hear books being taken and replaced, pages being flipped. A suitable, echoed atmosphere for the Temple of the One. Special Events (Quest spoilers ahead) Feel free to comment. I'm always open to suggestions. ;)

Daggerfallesque Mod List Last updated : April 14th 2010 Have a mod suggestion? Broken link? Comments? Let me know by PM or post it in this thread. Want to play Daggerfall? On July 9th, Bethesda has released Daggerfall for free! As a gamer who started playing western RPGs by discovering Daggerfall, I’ve always thought that there are features and gameplay elements that are missing or need replacement in Oblivion. Features that improve the game. As such, I have searched far and wide for community-made mods that bring me a closer feel to the Elder Scrolls title many veterans and new Elder Scrolls gamers alike claim as the best title of the series and even the best role-playing game that ever existed. Mod Entries in GREEN are mods that have been added to the list on the last update. NOTES : Some mods might be incompatible with each other. I will mention if so in the mod's description, but be sure to always read the mod's readme and manual to see how compatible the mod is. On the list, you will see some mods which require OBSE. OBSE stands for Oblivion Script Extender, a program that adds many new scripting commands for modders and, therefore, countless possibilities for players. You can download the latest version of OBSE at the following link: http://obse.silverlock.org/download/ You will also see SI REQUIRED. This stands for the Shivering Isles official expansion. INDEX Items Races Places NPCs & Creatures Overhauls Quests Gameplay Misc Music Looks Lycanthropy/Vampirism Spells & Magic Modder's Resources Utilities Credits 1.

Daggerfall-Style Sheogorath(SI Required!) by Durza Changes Sheogorath’s looks to match Daggerfall’s. Our favorite Mad God now has a banker coat! Mannimarco Revisited by Militiades First, it changes the looks of the King of Worms for a much better necromancer/ancient lich look. Second, it changes the looks of Mannimarco’s lair. Third, it makes the last quest of the Mages Guild much more difficult by making giving Mannimarco new powerful abilities.

Equipable Beards by taylorsd 37 new beards are added either at the Imperial Sewers exit or around the gameworld through leveled lists. These beards are equipped via rings and amulets. 11.

Note: It is recommended to read bg2408's Magic overhaul Comparison for more information about LAME, Supreme Magicka and the other magic overhauls.

Extends the magic system of Oblivion without disturbing the current spell system. Spell Failure Chance (OBSE Required!) by Talkie Toaster Like in Morrowind and Daggerfall, there’s now a possibility that you fail casting your spell depending on your spell’s related skill and attributes. Also removes the limits for buying and using spells beyond your skill rank. Fizzle (OBSE Required!) by Tejon Removes mastery levels from spellcasting. Instead of simply being unable to cast a spell, you may always attempt to do so, but trying to wield magicks beyond your skill runs the risk of failure. Spell success depends on a variety of factors such as armor worn, staff equipped, fatigue, skill or governing attribute. You might lose the spell, or you might lose far more. NOTE : It is meant as an alternative to Talkie Toaster's Spell Failure Chance. They are not compatible. Morrowind-Style Enchanting and Spellmaking By Cliffworms Like in Morrowind and Daggerfall, you may now use the services of an enchanter and spellmaker in the Mages Guild halls rather than using those services only at the Arcane University.
