Very nice mod. My little Khajit got to the second level of the mines before she met a . Being only lvl 3 she ran out of the mines with her tail between her legs.
Overall the mines felt very "realistic" and immersive and has a very good "atmosphere". :tops:
I made one small modification, though, replacing the mine door with one from Immersive Caves.

Loved the rabbits in the village. Forgot to close the gate so they started jumping (but not humping) all over the place.

Only minus is the chickens not moving or making sounds.

BTW, Laura Roslin and Gaius Baltar? :shakehead:

Well, finally managed to make modded Oblivion running smooth again and im quite sure this mod wont give me any problems as well

Everything has been said Arthmoor so i only have to nod at the previous comments. Only thing i want to add about the abandoned gold mine, this sounds like a must for Midas users as myself.

Thanks again for bringing more realism to Oblivion :goodjob:

Issue with farm animals not making sounds I am aware of this issue, it is model related itself, so it will take me some time to figure out how to fix this problem once again, without scripting the sounds to be played..

Model related? That's interesting. So the mesh itself can influence how the sounds work? If that's the case would looking at the rabbits in Faregyl be useful since they appear to work?

Yes, the nif actually control the sounds..In the case of the rabbit's they use the rat skeleton so those sounds work because the nif file themselves have the sound.

In case of the bull, cow, calf, they do not.different skeleton and different animations etc..chickens also included..

open these creature in cs editor and go to animation tab under the creature and select idle in list, down below you will see there is no sound attached to it. So this is why some of the sounds do not play.

The problem is that I am not a moddeler and do not know how to fix the problem..All I know is that we Need sound's attach to them in order work..other than scripting the sounds to play..

I will have to contact Mr Siika and Sarkandar or Exprienced Moddeler to Fix this problem most likely..

After running out of the mine and ambushing the using a poisoned crossbow bolt, I headed into the mines again (cats *are* curious) and reached a very *hairy* place.
I don't know if this is intentional or not (I'd really like to know!) but the passageway was a bit to narrow for the vile abominations to attack me, so I could safely snipe them at a distance.

The mod (the mines part) part is not very original, but extremely well done.
I really liked the invisible level transistions - very clever!

I'm going to give this a try Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.

p

For the larger ones, yes. Though on occasion the game will warp them into a passage where they can become stuck. Not much to be done about that I'm afraid.



Heh. The mine was 90% afterthought, it wasn't intended to be the most original dungeon ever made. But I was trying to be a bit different and hope I managed that much at least.

The invisible transitions being one thing I was experimenting with. The other thing being on the first level of the mine, at the exit. I had originally tried to make that an invisible transition as well that allowed you to look out the entrance and see the world beyond. It worked pretty well until I tried to darken the mine's interior. That's when I realized two things: 1) Negative lighting clashes badly with normal lighting. 2) Trying to manipulate climates and regions to alter the lighting works well until you want the second region to be significantly brighter than the first and the engine refuses to transition it fast enough to be useful. You can still see the remains of the failed attempt in the file if you're curious. That's what the extra worldspace is for.

The http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=OblivionMods.Detail&id=5229 link is now active. Wonder what the deal is with Nexus....

And a patch for Elswyr Faregyl Road too. Didn't notice that one on Nexus.

The sounds are usually triggered via the animations - if you look at the textKeyExtraData in any of the .kf files there will likely be some text keys that say: 'Enum:' (where is the name of the sound). The ones that don't have sounds are likely missing these keys.

Aaah, looks nice, will download this tomorrow when I get back from school

Would be nice to roleplay in that village. Imagine: A powerfull warrior raised in a village in the woods, few citizens, little defense, just a quiet little town. Would be a nice place to settle down in^^

Hmm. Interesting. In looking at, for example, the idle animation for the chicken I see it has the Enum: Idle like it should, but the pig doesn't. So why isn't the chicken working either? The rat animation that the rabbits use is structured the same way. Also, how does one go about adding these things to the files if they're missing?

i run big mod fcom, do i have to worry about imperial faction thanks,

Probably not. The mod is already tagged, so if you're in doubt, use Wrye Bash and enable the import relations options. Faregyl will be listed there and the faction relations will be merged in your Bashed Patch.

Something that should have already exist in vanilla Oblivion, good job :goodjob: I do have some minor complains though



Now, I'm looking forward sound for some of those animals...

Yeah, always bugged me to death that such a large empire has almost no food supply.

Version 1.0.5

* Modified two lights in Faregyl Inn because the place was too dark and gloomy.
* Gave the innkeeper at Faregyl Inn a second vendor chest with things to sell from the farms.
* Fixed some meshes which had distortion from parallax flags they can't support.
* Rebuilt the silent voice files with the latest TES4Gecko which makes more beleivable lip movements.

I was going to comment on those spiders too - they're really nasty. Have they been fixed?

Also, I found a land tear on the road directly across from Laura's house - you'll see it if you walk east along the road into the village; it's on your right.

The spider will be fixed shortly. Their base health value was insanely high which would of course account for why they'd take far too long to kill. I want them to be challenging. Not a suicide mission. The mine wasn't even supposed to be the focus of the mod, it just turned out that way

The ox is getting a bigger pen too. He kept ending up lodged in the fence because there wasn't enough space for him to wander.

I've also scoured the mod up, down, left, right, with and without objects visible. There are no land tears. You'll need to post a load order along with a screenshot of where it's at. Chances are you have something else which modified a landscape cell in the area - quite possibly without your knowledge.

Oh, never mind... it's because I had Faregyl loaded before Roads+Bridges. Oopsie. I either missed that when I installed it the first time, or wasn't paying attention when I did my load order. I caught it when I updated, and the tear's gone (and the rock blocking part of the road at the edge of the village is moved back too!)

What about COBL support ?

So far its something related to a farm I guess it should be a must have since its the base of most immersive mods out there

Also, have you tought about the people of NPCWJ ( http://aledra.19.forumer.com/index.php? ) ?
They got all sort of work covered by now, and are usualy quite open to lend them if asked nicely.

A small exept of what's avalaible :


Guess you'll see by yourself why it may be of some interest ?

Could you make it so that villagers get scared/Post watches after you've come in the middle of the night and burned all their vegetables/roasted their pigs/Skewered their pigs/Eaten their chicken/gored the chicken.


Testing the mod now, anyway

Yep. So apparently I forgot about that last update I mentioned. So....



* Toned down the health values on the spiders. No more needing to be God to kill them, though they will still be a solid challenge.
* Enlarged the ox pen so he doesn't get hung up on the fence so easily.

COBL: Unlikely to happen unless someone else whips up a patch for it. I don't use it and don't particularly want to either.

NWJ: Also not terribly likely.

COBL and NWJ both have quite a following, I get this. But I'd rather not end up having to impose any dependencies on foreign master files. If support can be had through a patch file that references COBL/NWJ and the Faregyl.esp file without needing to modify my ESP directly then I've no problem with it. What I don't want to end up with is a project with multiple ESPs with different dependency requirements. That's almost as much of a maintenance hassle as Open Cities is with all the optional configurations.
