Me too, as I am very lazy by nature... Well with lazyness, comes the ability to invent stuff that can keep me lazy... Hmmm... That is what I am doing really. Make life easier in the long run... ;)

Honestly, how big is the chance something like this happens? :ohmy: Damn!!!!

 

Background. Book Burglars broke in to the worlds biggest library, yes YOUR library as you own the biggest library ever made, bigger then the one in Vivec really. So the Book Tracking Agency that contains of 12 Agents, tries to help you recover all books.

 

I was at the Dzonot Cave, taking screenshots for the Dzonot Cave book and also waiting to see how the burglars reacted to take good screenies... With Chameleon 100%

The Book Tracking Agents? They are 12, 8 are mostly around the house in Anvil. A bug makes them refusing to go to the Stable at Arcane university (a stable I added there) and guard it, as they walk all around the Isle, passing every damn cell, instead of the shortest route, so how big chance is there that this one single groupof 4 of them, in the whole area, would pass and actually get engage??? Well i would say, 1 in 10000.... So far they are only there for Immersion, guarding Arcanane University Stable and my House in Anvil, so they are not supposed to be here, and specially not kill their own enemies.

 

So the burglars did spot some rabbits that they started to hunt, meanwhile 4 lost Agents did came from north :D They killed the leader... I was so damn amazed and surprised... This game never stops to surprise and amaze me. This was never meant to happen, as it did happen because they refuse to follow the pathes, they are not supposed to be there at all. :D :geek:

The farm and the Outdoor area is a bloody chaotic nuthouse now. So much is happening, that I cannot keep up. I will explain, just look at the screenies... :wink:

 

Civil War!!! If anyone attacks someone, all hell breaks loose in full chaos, they all will fight in the end. So damn fun to eat pop corn and just see them knock out each others

52006737483_3b6f3b16f3_k.jpg

 

I attacked this horse by mistake and I tried to escape, by going in to the kitchen, but failed as it went after me, attacking my staff, so I had to kill it in the kitchen or rather knock it out. And remeber, this is not ordinary horses, as it is war horses, lvl offset 1 with HP 25 (25 * lvl) ad high attack Power too. Look at my HP bar and you see they are extremely deadly... :wink:

Waited until the horse woke up before I took it out with moveto player

Companions on Schedule do not have time to fight, as the packages updates ever 20s, something I cannot do anything about as that is how addpackages works. They are only active for 20s, 10 min game time. Well this is how it is as I had to interfere and kill that bloody bird. I do not mind. Hmmm, that is not true. I should add this to the top of the script:

If ( CompanionRef.IsInCombat )
    Return
EndIf

*ADDED*

Well the farm is the most active place in the game. It is overwhelming now to be there. First when i made it, it was an extremely peaceful and very boring place to visit, but also very relaxing but if I want to relax, I can go inside the almost empty house and watch paintings instead. I love this a lot really as this has become a place in full chaos, as as soon you get outdoors, all hell break loose. The house gets under siege, the agents fights all monsters that roams the area, every damn critter at the farm runs around in full panic, stuff at the roof flies around - Relaxing? No way... It is so damn chaotic that I got so stressed, I had to take a break, getting here and write something, trying to get my brain pulled together. :D I am in FULL STRESS.... This has never happen in Oblivion.... :D So damn fun :wink:

 

Well the real reason I tok a break is to adjust some packages... :wink: I cant wait to get back there.... :wink: So damn fun :D

Can anyone point out a better place for companions to be at than here? I never had so much fun in game as I had today, and then we talk about 27 years of playing TES. As it is so crowded, they easily start to fight eachothers.

 

I had all critters running around the whole farm.

A war horse hunting me, that I had to kill when it ran into my kitchen, attacking my cute baker.

This elf took off 2 times, no wonder, she had 2 packages telling her to get to Chorrol, the Oak and Crossier inn... :/ She killed some bandits on her way. Packages fixed...

 

BLOODY CHAOS. So damn fun, I love it :D I can just sit and watch them, while eating pop corn....

 

What I do here is to add a custom Schedule to my companions, 6 different ones. This is Schedule 4 that I tested on a Hidden Elf today. When I ported to her, i landed like this we see in the first picture, so I did not jump up at her, I landed here... Not my fault...

 

Companion Schedule 4. This is 1 single day for this Hidden Elf in game

 

52006254972_7528672cec_k.jpg

 

What a day.... :wink:

Schedule 5

 

Not much did happen this day, no surprises, nor anything special, nothing. They did clean the place yesterday... Killing of all stuff of killing eachothers. One day is not the other like. I will now wait 3 in game days until I make the final Schedule, the 6th one, so we get some action into the screenies as this one was boring to make or watch and I do not even have popcorn :D

 

Fortunately we have

Set GameHour to <hour>

...so I can fast forward when i get bored, so 17:00 I took a screeny, set the clock to 18:00 and so on... The most important is that this sh*t is working like a bloody clock. It works perfect as I intended and planed.

 

52007586867_e58628d542_k.jpg

 

As I am a master in Alchemy, I have not checked how many resources they did find really but I did master it yesterday, again, for the 1057th time. But the whole area is clean picked, so I guess a lot. Same with the critters. a majority is dead... :wink:

As we are getting closer to a release for this mod as an adventure mod, there is now 4 things I need to finish first.

  1. Adding a Sell Chest or rather Sell Barrel, that sell stuff for full price, which you add to your dynamic auto sorter. To make life easier and more fun. It is boring to fiddling in the inventory and to sell stuff and it is not therefor we play this game.
  2. Completing the Companions schedules, with the 6th and final schedule
  3. Adding the new and high performance scripts to my now high performed Display Room. 1 is done, 3 still to remake. Same script almost... :wink: But it must be done, otherwise all players wepons they add efter the new scripts gets active, will no longer be part of the display room and therefor they will fall of the racks Havoc, you know.
  4. Making a book cover for the Requiem book that came with the requiem Sword. How have I managed to ignore that book for 2 years? Damn you Pekka... That is the sword I used for 18 years, It deserves a nice book cover. I make it tonight.

So close now...

 

I edited the documentation yesterday, added loads of text to the already big document. I also tell the player they do not need to read all the rubbish that I write, in the beginning of the description, as it is all explained in game, with quests and books but someone might want to know it all before buying the pig in the bag. I write so much rubbish, you know :D No wonder I built the biggest library ever made, as like to write and read... :wink: No other games had books before Arena I think, but that is just a pure speculation. I did not read the books back then, as I read them from work instead 2-3 years ago, at the Imperial Library. and most of them are very good.

Sell barrel and the Book made. 2 more tasks to do and I release it.

 

This sword is 18 years old now. I never use anything else. I used it since 2004 and I am so lucky that I have permissions to include it in my mod. This book is at the desk in my shop. :wink: Phijama, who made the sword around 2004, wrote a story about it that is in this book. So damn cool.

 

52010464537_b82ff96cf7_c.jpg

 

The book cover was made from the hilt of the sword as base. The book uses 512 textures, the sword 1024... A bit OP really...

I have problems right now to focus. I must pull my self together now, do all the boring work in the Display Room. Damn I do not feel like doing it, but I do not want to release something that is broken. I have a reputation to think about as i do write in the description. High Quality mod, then I must live up to that claim as well. Damn you Pekka and your big mouth and big words... Start working and stop typing your bloody clown and village fool...

 

I do not want to do it!!! :wink: I want to do fun stuff :D

 

Well take a big breath, listen to this and focus:

The Display Room have 4 different Rack types, at 8 different positions. That means 8 different scripts top change and test and I now change stuff that works good but does not have high enough performance.

 

I still have to use GameMode stuff at each rack, as i cannot avoid it even if i tried to exchange as much as possible with a single quest script. Well the performance is high now so i should not complain really... I am hunting millieseconds I geuss. But I only have 6 weapons up right now. What will the performance be like if I add 200 weapons in that room? Then the hunt for micro and millieseconds is vital. I can never do anything about the textures at the weapons but that is bullsh't as i can but rthat means editing MOO and WAC. I should decrease some Requiem textures as they are 1024 x 1024. That is Over kill. My paintings has no textures above 1024 x 512 and the square ones are 512 x 512.

 

It is idiocy to have huge textures, so pointless. It will onlöy kill game play fun as when you are out on an adventure, you do not give a damn about the textures... You fight and have fun, killing everything that moves, well not the companions though. Avoid that. :wink:

 

When I chatted with Alien Slof today, she told me that if she ever play Oblivion again, she will test my home if her 8ft Xivilai would fit in it. Well the inside is so big and spacy, we can fit not only one dragon in it, as we can fit 12 dragons or more even so a tiny Xivilai will be no problems. The tunnel is or hall to the library is tiny but still, a dragon might fit in it. There is a trapdoor, next to the well as well, that leads to the Library and I guess 10 dragons will fit there really. :D

 

I did put her Xiv next to a hidden elf the other day when I fixed COBL bugs, damn it is twice as high...

The house has more space than it looks like

What is happening? Is it spring? I do have so hard to focus... Damn... My brain stands still and I get nothing done... To be able to complete the last stuff I must be able to focus, so i do not make mistakes as that scares me.

 

Yesterday, I did things by auto inside CSE, unfocused, I did not make a single mistake but I really was afraid I might as I felt i did not have 100% control nor focus. This is a bit scaring really. What if I do mistakes in this 2 year old esp? Well, what if is a question that is very odd really but still... It scares me...

 

I need more coffee, and nicotine... I must focus... Now you know why I write so much rubbish everywhere, I cannot focus at my modding. Damn... :/ Do you feel the same? Is it the spring? I know we get tired when the spring comes every year... But not this bloody tired... I hate this. I want to be focused... It has been like this 2 days now and we did have 18 degrees celisus today. First day this year I was out with the dogs without my winter clothes. :D So damn nice weather. I love this day, no doubt... :wink: Now I must work though.

 

WTH. If I make a mistake, I do have tons of backups. CSE is set to backup the files every 10 min. I got even new backups when i typed this crap and no sense. :D So I am so stupid and silly now. :D Nothing else...

 

Pekka - Use your brain - Think...
