*CHANGE LOG*
-------------------
04/01/2012 - V1.0 - Initial release.

I'm sold .. It has clocks

Thank you WillieSea, this looks like an amazing amount of attention to detail - as usual from yourself.

Edit: I do believe I got the first download - Now I have a problem, need to keep it in mint condition, this will be a collectors item one day.

Edit2: No need for the Script Extender , this is more surprising than I initially thought.

Yeah, there are no requirements for this mod.
And I included all my source code for the scripts in case you want to see how I did something.

Awesome! I used your mod for Morrowind back in the time, glad to see you created an equivalent for Skyrim.

Fantastic stuff WillieSea! Congratulations on your release!

And last, but not least; thank you very much for sharing your great works with the community!

Thanks Willie.

Great! Thanks.

I am going to have a good nosy at those later .. Meanwhile Having fun

Beautiful work in game. The arena and the possibilities .. I loooove this place

I dare not pick anything up just yet .. Too early in the games life-time and I dont want to get used to grabbing something out of here to the point it becomes an addiction detrimental to the longevity of the game - Which means I understood the warning at the door (highly amused watching conan refuse and .. well, you know, sulking a bit afterwards)

Lydia got lost - But that may have something to do with me amusing myself with a troll and a giant, Lydia also got a bit anti, and started walking down to join the fun so I threw the switch which (even though the gate was shut) managed to catch Lydia a bit .. Oops.
Walked around some afterwards and she got lost somewhere there (a bit slow limping behind)

This is polished. I tried to ruin it (made a BAIN out of the files with a copy of the textures scaled down with DDSOpt as an option for my laptop which is a bit under spec for skyrim in the graphics memory department) ... Long story short, it still looks gorgeous.

Edit: It would not surprise me if this hit the bethblog top five selection - That arena with; Toy soldiers, a few strategically placed exploding chickens, press some buttons and have some "Cheeeeeese, for EVERYONE" at the ready from the balcony.

Request: Could we have a restrain companion cage

I long to install this but having used the equivalent Oblivion mod I know I wouldn't be able to resist some of the temptations that would dangle.
This will sit in my pending file until I have a very high level character.

Congrats on the release though.

Thank you all for the generous comments!

You really don't need to pick any of the equipment up if you don't want to. With the right items, you can make everything at the forge that is available in this mod. (I think I got everything)

I can look into a restraint box for NPC's. But I was rather thinking about changing the body clean up effect to not include an Actor if they are in the player follower faction. That would prevent them from being killed as well. But, perhaps scripting an AI package on the NPC might work too... Perhaps in the next version.

Those would be funny buttons, like the flaming raining dogs in Oblivion.

I have patched the mod to v1.1. Install the patch over the full download.

Fixed navmesh in Throne room.
Fixed arena corpse cleanup so it does not kill your NPC as long as they are in the player follower faction, or the current follower faction.
Added button so you can 'learn' *ALL of the ingredient effects that are used in potion making. *at least most all.
Updated texture on tomato plant, thanks Elinen!
Updated readme file.

Congrats, Willie! You did it!!

Its a good job I am not married to Lydia, she would be divorcing me tomorrow for what I am about to put her through .. Or maybe not, I think she would probably tell me to "Say cheese for the kill cam" and end it nord stylee.

Lydia lives, as do I

Noticed a tiny thing, every time I step out of the tower, its as if I am stood on a small elevator. My player character is adjusting to where he should be stood .. on top of the steps just outside the door (its like you start with your legs inside the steps, and elevate up to be on top of them).

The same thing happens if you fast travel to the tower from elsewhere in the world, as soon as you arrive, its elevator time.

Another small glitch but this will probably prove hard to replicate .. I spawned (among other things while telling Lydia to wait at the bottom of the stairs near the entrance to the fighting area) a giant again who at one point decided to run up the stairs on to the raised platform at the back right of the arena (if you are stood next to the levers overlooking the arena) .. But instead of running up the stairs, he got up a couple of them and then fell through them so became entombed for a while inside the platform. After a short while, he did the elevator thing and rose to be stood on top of the platform.

I like how the arena gate only opens for me, effectively leaving a companion behind the auto closing gate. And no matter how I tried to get Lydia attracted to having a brawl with whatever I let loose within the arena, she was safe running around the outside of it. No more crippled Lydia each time I used the smart bomb.

Edit: One more tiny thing; If I go upstairs and outside onto the balcony, Lydia will not follow to that little spot. And when I re-enter the tower from the balcony, she runs up the stairs towards me as though she has just entered the tower from the tower entrance at the bottom.

Ooh and ( sorry about this ..)

Spawn a creature menu's - Could we have a cancel (changed my mind, want to spawn something else from another button)

This one is going to affect veeery few people (ie probably just me on my rapidly becoming senile laptop), but your menus get cramped on a screen only 800 pixels horizontal resolution, with the vanilla menu interface.

I will understand if you walk away shaking your head in dis-belief at that last one

Ok, looks like the exterior navmesh needs some work. Thanks!

I actually wanted a 'cancel' button on the menus, but since the go across the screen horizontally, there is not much room to put more buttons on some of the menus. Especially for people with square displays, where I have a widescreen and its still cramped.

Couple things:

Which containers, if any, are not safe for storage?
The menus are pretty long, and a lot of them cut off for me, but just barely. No way to work around this?

Other than that, it's perfect so far. Aside from the general report bugs, of course.

All of the containers in the mod should be safe for storage. I even checkmarked that they are to be ignored by the AI and Sandbox modes, just in case.

The best fix for the 'horizontal menus' is to have a widescreen monitor!
But seriously, it would have been nice if the menus went verticla like they did in all the previous games.
Your only solution with a non-widesreen monitor would be to truncate the text in the message boxes so more text shows.

Hmm... I'll look into it, thanks.

Also, I tested out the arena a bit http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThgch_wMhePr2_rc_LNCaNgXHk4X26Shf28H6cPypXP9Nj8alzwYnJjBu8CA

I'm going to have a good bit of fun with this. Maybe round up a couple hireables and make them fend for themselves.

WillieSea - Another tiny insignificant buggette

I know you cannot possibly accommodate people using all the different female body mods out there - So is it possible you can make Shanara Sea have a complete set of unique body meshes and texture just for her ? (I know you have some already in the files sheanna)

Here's an example: I notice while using "Prometheus Better Female Natural Body" (cant link but thats the nexus title), for the vanilla compatible sized meshes, and also using Navatseas "CBBE skin texture V2 V3 plus Thepal and UNP compatible" Vanilla flavour of the body and face textures from that set ....

When Shanara goes for a snooze, and lays down in her bikini, the feet are awful and see through at the bottom.
Also when she gets into the restoration pool, her head and neck are a different colour to her body, the head and neck in the lighting there look like dunmer colours which contrast with the imperial looking body texture which react differently to the lighting.

I cant get her to get back in the pool or sleep again at the moment but here's a screen to show why I think you will need to have all custom parts for her, anything vanilla you rely upon will probably be changed in someones setup and then cue the "why do my bbbbbbbbbb body parts for this that and the other not look good on her.. ", erm, etc etc ...
You know about the possible gap at the neck already.

This is probably a big ask for just one part of the mod, considering all the body files - all the new meshes replaced, and _n _msn _s _g _hl (+ whatever else applies these days) textures etc for hands feet head and body, but may be offset by the barrage of possible problems.

Edit: Ethatron has a list of the textures here http://obge.paradice-insight.us/wiki/DDSopt scroll down a bit.

It may be better to put her in a vanilla outfit, and you can replace it if you want.

Depending on your CK skill, what you could do is replace the existing clothing meshes in Sheanna's folder with those of your own choice, that go with your particular installed body mod. I prefer the one I am using, and since this is version 1, I left it as is. For the next major release, I will probably change it to vanilla clothing assets.

I also suspect the neck gap might be due to the 'weight' of the NPC. Perhaps if I make her heavier, the gap will go away... Its all new, so who knows!

Solved the feet anyway - Something I have not checked before with my mesh installations; Its a vanilla female feet problem ..

Prometheus vanilla compatible body does not have its own female feet meshes, same as ThePal's vanilla compatible nvde Female body meshes also do not include feet ...

Grabbed Phygit's FemFeet (just the meshes, because of using NavatSea's textures) - Feet are not so vanilla 'orrible anymore ...

Any problem with my mod may only be due to other custom textures installation couse my mod uses vanilla textures and it's own are based on that ...

Prometheus, this is not about your mod. If you load up Levellers tower mod (which this topic is about), with your body, you will understand why I experienced (past tense) minor problems with WillieSea's Shanara NPC.

You need to read things more carefully ( I understand that may not be easy sometimes if english is not your first language ), and not take something personal because your mod has been mentioned in relation to something else.

I was trying to save WillieSea from a lot of people combining other body mods in future which could present problems ... and a lot of headaches from users in the future, and so gave a combination of your body parts with his Shanara body combination - Just as an example.

This mod is early in its development stage.

If I had a problem with your mods ( which I do not ) I would detail those problems in your own topics, not someone elses.

I didn't take personally at all don't worry I was just thinking you may have tought that it had a glitch of some kind due to textures but since I use same ( improved ) vanilla ones I just wanted to clarify it makes no conflicts unless someone alters tha basic vanilla ones...

Anyway I once in while do random search for my stuff in order to find problems or stuff I may have missed about my mods ... nothing related to this specific mod tough ...
