raziel23x Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Notice Requires OBSE V0011 or higher to run This Project is going through a complete Overhaul. It will not increase skill level maxes past 100 in skills or increase the max of your stats past the 100 cap. What this will do is try and better balance leveling as well as give Bonuses to skills that have gone past level 100 where in Vanilla Land you stop getting bonuses once you reach 100 in that skill. This mod alters the way in which the player gains attribute points. Instead of being gained on leveling up, attributes rise dynamically as the player's skills increase (at a standard rate of one attribute gain per three related skill gains, changeable from the console). For ease of use, many of the main functions of the mod can be controlled from the console. The new leveling system will start working after the player leaves the prison sewer system. This mod works by running a background global script (low priority, once a minute on standard settings) which checks player skill increases and alters player attributes to reflect them. Attribute gains from leveling up will be automatically reverted on the first cycle after leveling. In order to initialize, the mod will check to see if the main quest has reached MQ01 Stage90 (Go to Weynon Priory after leaving the sewer). This is to avoid issues caused by the player changing their class at the end of the tutorial. Mastery Bonuses Notes: AlterationOnce you reach master in Alteration, you now gain the ability to take soul gems and Combine them into there more powerful versions. This spell is a master level spell, which once cast will change two of your Soulgems into there next stone level. This does not allow you to create Black Soulgems this way. You will still have to do that quest to obtain a black soul gem if you so desire to acquire them. Comment: In a future release, I may change this into a lesser power instead of a normal spell. MysticismOnce you reach master in Mysticism, you now gain the ability to discharge any Soulgems of the souls to reuse them. For example trapped a lesser soul in a grand Soulgem you will be able to use this ability to safely remove the soul from the gem and reuse the Soulgem to place a more proper soul into it. Comment: In a future release, I may change this into a lesser power instead of a normal spell. Bonuses over 100 Notes:I have gotten the mage skill classes confirmed that they stop give bonuses beyond 100. What I do not have is the other skills. I need testers to test the functions of the warrior and thieves skill classifications before I will implement such. I need actual feedback posted in the form thread posted further down to know what needs added and what to leave as is. Destruction skillDestruction skill bonuses for mages who have taken their Destruction skill above 100 via the manyskill enchanted items in the game, which without this script become useless once the skill caps at100. In the default game, mana costs do not continue to go down after 100 for skills, for example What this script does: Multiplicative magicka bonuses for every two points above 100 Destruction by modifying the MagickaMultiplier of the pc based upon a ratio. 110 destruction is far superior to 100. This allows mages a fair and balanced way to increase their damage in the high end game. These results in a healthy progression of mana upwards of 100 skills, keeping pace with the mana demands that mobs at this level pose, and giving you continued ways to improve your character after you have capped out. Example: If at 100 intelligence and 100 destruction, you have 400 mana At 105 destruction, you will have 480, at 108 destruction, you will have 560, At 110 destruction you will have 600, ect... Restoration SkillRestoration skill bonuses for mages who have taken their Restoration skill above 100 via the many skill enchanted items in the game, which without this script become useless once the skill caps at 100. What this script does:What this script does is take your base magic regeneration and every point above 100 increases the amount of Magicka you regenerate by 1% Example: If your Restoration skill reaches 150 then the amount of magicka you regenerate over time will be one and a half times faster. If your Restoration skill reaches 200 then the amount of magicka you regenerate over time will double. Illusion SkillIllusion Skill bonuses for mages who have taken there Illusion Skill above 100 Via the many skillenchanted items in the game, which without this script becomes useless once the skill caps at 100. What this script does:What this script does is take your base Health and every point above 100 increases the amount ofthe amount of health you have by 1%. Example: If at 100 Endurance and 100 Illusion, you have 200 Health Base. At 105 Illusion, you will have 305,at 108 Illusion, you will have 308, At 110 Illusion you will have 310, ect... Mysticism SkillMysticism Skill bonuses for mages who have taken there Mysticism Skill above 100 via the many skill enchanted items in the game, which without this script becomes useless once the skill caps at 100. What this script does: This script affects the player's Spell Absorption using spell abilities. Your Mysticism skill growth affects the magnitude of the Spell Absorption affect. Example: At level 120 in the Mysticism skill your total Spell Absorption affect will be at 15%At level 160 in the Mysticism skill your total Spell Absorption affect will be at 20%At level 200 in the Mysticism skill your total Spell Absorption affect will be at 25% Alteration SkillAlteration Skill bonuses for mages who have taken there Alteration Skill above 100 via the many skill enchanted items in the game, which without this script becomes useless once the skill caps at 100. What this script does: This script affects the player's Magic Resistance using spell abilities. Your Alteration skill growth affects the magnitude of the Magic Resistance affect. Example: At level 120 in the Alteration skill your total Magic Resistance affect will be at 15%At level 160 in the Alteration skill your total Magic Resistance affect will be at 20%At level 200 in the Alteration skill your total Magic Resistance affect will be at 25% Miscellaneous Changes to the gaming mechanics Health Regeneration Over timeYou now gain the ability to regenerate your wounds over time. I used global Values so that it can be adjusted in game if you so chose to change the rate of healing. It uses a formula similar to the one that Magicka uses to calculate magicka regeneration. Global ValuesfHealthReturnBase = 0.2500 (default value)fHealthReturnMult = 0.0200 (default value)HRTimer = 10 (default value) FormulaHealthRegenRate = 0.01 * (fHealthReturnBase + fHealthReturnMult * Endurance) * TotalHealth.Console Commands In addition, the mod can be controlled by changing certain global values from the console. The console can normally be accessed by pressing the ~ (tilde) key or the ` (grave accent) key (which can generally be found below the ESC key). Once in the console you can use the following commands to affect the way, the mod works: Set ZLSALStoggle to 0 This will force the mod to stop working at step 1. This will not stop it from processing, but will stop it from making changes to attributes and counting skill changes. Set ZLSALStoggle to 1 (This is set as standard) The mod will run normally under this setting. Set ZLSALStoggle to 2 This setting will force the mod to initialize. This is mainly for total conversions and other major game changing mods that may stop this mod from initializing properly. After initializing, the toggle will revert to 1. Set ZLSALStoggle to 3 This will force the mod to reset its values, taking the player's current attributes and skills as the new base values. Any unmade attribute changes will be lost. This can be used to workaround anything that changes the player's base attributes, or which mods their skills, such as changing class during the game. Before changing, set ZLSALStoggle to 0, change class, and then set ZLSALStoggle to 3. After resetting, the toggle will revert to 1. Set ZLSALSVerbose to 0 This will stop the mod from popping up any messages on the screen. Set ZLSALSVerbose to 1 (This is set as standard) The mod will pop up messages to inform the player that their attributes have increased, and a few basic status messages. Set ZLSALSVerbose to 2 The mod will display debug messages as well as standard messages. Set ZLSALStimer to # Replace # with the number of seconds the mod should wait before the next cycle. The lower this number is, the higher the processing load will be on your PC. At the standard setting of 60, your attributes should refresh fast enough, at no performance hit. I recommend keeping this value above 4 at all times (to avoid message clashing) and higher during activity like combat. Set ZLSALSlevel to # Replace the # with the number of skill improvements required to raise an attribute. This is set to three as standard. Set ZLSALSluckpercentage to # Replace # with a number between 0 and 100. This sets the chance of gaining a luck point every time you gain an attribute point. Set at 21 (20%) as standard. Set ZLSALSbasecap to # Replace # with the number you would like your attribute base value to be capped. The mod will not raise attributes beyond this value. This is set to 100 as standard. Most values that will create problems been scripted out; however, certain settings can be assigned very high values or very low values that may cause you problems. Use your own common sense when inputting values.Bugs and issues No actual bugs that I know of, please tell me if you find any. Please note that if the ZLSALStimer setting is set too low (0-1 seconds) there may be a serious performance hit. To Do list Lesser Power Console Command to Customize the leveler system.Revise the script to give it more functionality and to improve performance.Making it possible to get bonuses from skills that go beyond 100.Set up checks for when starting a new game to call the Game settings and to store them as Global Values to be used as a reference in case you are using a mod that already changes the setting.
