addition to the Transportation Network

[hoihoi8]

Hello,

 

I recently got the Cyrodiil Transportation Network and it's a little unfulfilling for me. As I love to gaze around at the beautiful world, I think a real time system would be awesome.

 

Here is my Idea for the Carriage Real Time mod.

 

Art Models:

A horse and cart are connected (I have seen cart models sitting around in the world). The driver of the cart is sitting on the horse. Parented to the cart is a stool/bench/chair. The wheels turn while moving.

 

Activation:

Carts are parked outside major cities near the stables. When the user selects to sit down on the cart, a message window pops up asking where you would like to go and the price is stated. If a town is selected the horse starts on their way to that town and your gold is removed.

 

Cart Ride:

As the cart begins to move, the user is still sitting down from the stool activation. The user may press space to get up. This will give them a full field of view, and they can now hunt animals from the cart with bows. If the user jumps off the cart, is keeps going without the player.

 

Out of view Horse & Carriage:

If a player gets off the carriage and it is out of view, it could either TP back to the original position, or it could run it's full loop to the destination city, then travel back around to the origin city. Maybe the traveler jumped of to hunt for a while, and could hop back on during the return trip.

 

Arrival at the Destination City:

Once the carriage arrives at the city, it would just loop around and head back to the origin city. The player would be in charge of jumping off once they get there. If they choose, they may stay on and return to the origin city.

 

Additional Idea stemming from this mod:

Tour Guide - A tour guide business using the same concept above would take the player around Cyrodiil. The player would activate and sit on the carriage in the same way. When the cart gets to certain areas, either spoken dialog or text would come up to explain the lore or history of the specific area.

 

I must say I'm not really a modder. I've just got a some ideas. Anyone can steal this idea and make a mod out of it. I won't mind.
