==You must wait in a safe location for you Respawn Timer and Area Cleared Timer for Changes to take effect this Version. I changed formid for nearly all variants, leveledlist have been redesigned, alot of new features for Version 0.25==Once Again Requires Respawn to Take Effect=====

Welcome to Skyrim Creature Alive this mod is a Creatures Overhaul focusing on Creatures, creature ai, creature factions, new variants at this Time. Creature Leveledlist Redesign has well with a Unleveled Encounter Anything at lvl 1 approach with Vanilla Feel that is balanced yet Random.
This is a start of what will be Very Large Mod Project Similiar to Oblivion Mart's Monster Mod that I manage and maintain.

Section 1: Leveledlist Spawn System
Section 2: Faction Changes
Section 3: Vanilla Creatures and Monster Variant List

=============================================
Section 1: Leveled Creatures List Changes
=============================================

Only Creature Leveledlist are changed. Did not touch Npc or Dragon or Skeleton or Draugh List. So you may use PISE for it Npc Changes Etc.
All Creatures or Monsters have chance to Spawn at Level 1, regardless of player levels. each vanilla type has a Variant that is weaker or stronger and a chance of spawning so beware.

I have designed the unleveled system very carefully using custom leveledlist for everything. And also ensured that list still followed lowest to highest level creatures. With skeever and wolves being listed 3 times, bear and sabrecat listed 2 times, monster's listed 1. This is very balanced because it still has a Vanilla Feel to it. But at the same time, is unleveled and random.

Also all creature are more regional based. For example in Vanilla almost all the Snow Creatures can be found in Snowy Areas only this make sense. But in some list NOrmal Wolves would spawn instead of Snow Wolves. In other Region list like the Plains or Marsh The Wolves could have been spread out to be more regional or only certain types of Bears. So you will not Artic Animals in Warm AReas, and Vice Versa. No plains or marsh animals in Snowy Areas.

This will make the game more challenging has many creatures that did not spawn until higher levels. Will now spawn at lvl 1 (ice wolf) or eariler then they should (Cave Bear / Snow Bear), Trolls, Giants. And this really does not unbalance things too much. Has some of these creatures can be found in world even at lvl 1 has some are placed in world itself.

=============================================
section 2: Creature Faction Changes
=============================================

I have changed many of creature faction to be friends, neutral or enemy with each other. In and effort for creature to fight with each other More. So that player is no longer center of attention per say.

Bears - Friend with Spriggan, Neutral toward Skeevers, Enemies - Spider, Wolf, Chaurus, Troll, SabreCat
Chaurus - Was Friend with Spider they are now enemies, was friends with Skeever now Neutral, Spriggan Friend, Enemy - Bear, Sabrecat, Wolf, Troll
SabreCat - Friend with Spriggan, enemies - Bear, Wolf, Skeever, Spider, Chaurus,
Skeever - Neutral toward Bears and Chaurus, Friends with Spriggan, Enemies - Bears, Sabrecat, Trolls, Wolves,
Spider - Was Friend with Chaurus now Enemies, Friend with Spriggan, Enemies - Bears, Sabrecat, Trolls, Wolves, Neutral with Skeevers
Spriggan - Friend to All Creature Faction expect Troll which are enemies
Troll - hostile toward everything
Wolf - Friend of Spriggans, enemies - Bear, Spiders, Chaurus, Skeever, Trolls,
Giant - Added Frost Giant has Enemy
New Frost Giant Faction - Enemies are Normal Giant and Mammoth's.

Needs Feedback please, hopefully it does not break anything

From Last Thread


From what I am looking at their are no faction changes..

Just Mixed Creatures and Npcs in Same Leveledlist.

No actual changes to factions. That I see..


version 3 just came out, 2 had some problems..

I could add chance for Npcs to Spawn from Creatures LIst like it does. But that is not something that I want t do after all..

Most Npcs Spawn close to forts, camps, dungeons etc

While most creatures do not..


I have not talked to bellyache yet..but he does alot of variety after all that perhaps I could use..

-----

Should have version 0.25 out soon..

I am going to add a chance for hostile creatures to spawn from Prey list the foxes are just too many..I see them more than anything else .

Downloading when I get home.

Does this mod by any chance make the wolves and bears less...well...less mean and hostile?

Breaks my immersion when I have to kill every bear and wolf I see. svcks to have to kill them and not use their pelts.

use the link that posted at the top of the thread, has I have not posted version .20 to skyrimnexus yet




I have a beta plugin that changes all the behavior to be like this for all vanilla creatures pretty much..

http://www.4shared.com/archive/0CoNinkc/Skyrim_Creatures_Alive_Passive.html

Affect all Vanilla Creatures that not quest related or under spriggan control

- Skeever, Bears, Wolves, Mudcrabs, Horkers, SabreCat's -

Behavior should be this

- If Creature is greater than you will attack you, once you are higher than them goes to below
- If Equal In level to you should challenge you
- If weaker than you should flee or avoid you

====

If going to use with SCA itself, passive has to load after and it only affect Vanilla does not affect the variants that I added..

or you can use passive just by itself..will only affect creatures and nothing else

Thanks mate, quick question regarding the mod PISE, compatible? Loading order?

Compatible with PISE ,

SCA needs to load after PISE Modules for it changes to work correctly

and best to use Wrye Smash and use a bashed patch

Thanks, you have probably answered that a few times...

MMM was one of my favourite mods in Oblivion - will the features of SCA be heading in that direction?

AWESOME SAUCE!!!!

Thanks. Downloaded and installed.

Hey you planning on making any creatures bigger in scale? I seen a mod that made a slaughterfish as big as a great white. Maybe those can be rare or static?

Good New Everyone

BellyAche is allowing me to use his Animal and Creatures Pack for Skyrim Creature Alive Variants..In exhange for my knowledge when it comes to modding.

His Mod can be found here. Which are really great and much more better than mine. Plenty of Colors, I love the Non Hairy Goats..

http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3621

I am dropping my textures in favor of his..



This Means next Version 0.25 will feature his textures. Has I am swapping mine out for his..

And a Skyrim Nexus Release..

So, I installed your passive creatures mod and I'm still being attacked. In fact, it seems like I'm being attacked more with the mod than without. I was attacked by a bear who jumped off a cliff to get to me. So, I wasn't even in his field of view or whatever it is.

and what is your level ?
Using any other Mod ?

Fantastic!

Corepc, you might be interested to note that Leviathan and I are considering using the power of java to dynamically create new variants in a patch. While you may want to do more fine-tuned changes, you could specifically define lists of changes in a JSON file (including textures, and JSON is similar to XML but imports to java easier), and have the program create a patch plugin with all those changes from the NPC's. It'd also create a nested leveled list, so any reference to that NPC in the leveled lists would then be replaced by a reference to the nested list of variants.

In the end-result, it'd basically allow you to define sets of changes, and have it be compatible with other mods.

I'll let you know how progress goes. Most of the patching process is complete for the leveled NPC lists, perks, spells, but texture variants will need some more code to work - we're not finished, but it's certainly a ways into the project. The only issue would be in the future leveled lists changes - in which your mod for leveled lists would have to be entirely excluded, to 'force' those changes onto the game without getting modified by other mods, or to use Wrye Bash to merge and then run the patch onto the Bashed Patch. And if you wanted your own plugin, you could define changes in the file, run it through and have it create a plugin, and modify that instead of starting from scratch.

40. No other mods other than one that cleans up the signs. I haven't downloaded anything because I'm waiting for the CK before I start DLing mods like crazy.

I think you and bellyache should partner up. Maybe he can be your texture artist. You guys could accomplish things at a faster rate.

I have been reading in PISE thread about it..Can't wait..

Has for leveled list compatiblity with other mods, because of how mine redirect's, delevel, relevel list . All my creatures have sca in the name and leveled list are like this LCHARSCA(Number)(Creature) with variants already placed in those list. So perhaps we can exclude list with name SCA when times comes for it.


Hmmm, Agro Radius maybe,


He is allowing me to use his stuff in exchange for my knowledge. It works for me.

Nice work! Great to see some talented modders collaborating! Can't wait to see what you all can do with the CK.

You think you could have creatures drinking water at lakes and rivers? It would be a nice random encounter seeing a drinking animal being ambushed by a predator.

BellyAche stuff is great once again and plenty of variety for What I need.


I Should be able to give them appearance at least of drinking water via aipackages that send to certain points or look for certain objects that are close to water. And once close got into a idle animation..I was able to do it in Oblivion. So should not be a problem with skyrim..

Testing Beta 1.4 - it appears they have fixed issue of passive creatures trying to cross in water to soon.

1.3x version you can pretty much chase passive animals into the water..

Beta 1.4 I am having a much harder time chasing passive animals into the water, they are running along shore until they find a shallow water crossing and crossing at that. Much better. Sometimes they are even outrunning me where has before I could keep up with them.So perhaps they adjusted speed of them has well..

Question. Did you create the animations for you guar pack mod? Also did the guars have attack animations?

The guar comes from http://tes.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7471. I think it used the Clannfear skeleton, so it could use the clannfear attack animation.

@Core: I've started working on some creature retexes for my own project, but if you are interrested you can use them for SCA as well. http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/gallery/album/114/64-starx-album/.

What StarX posted below. I did not make them, and Wish I had the advanced 3dmodeling skills to redo them Skyrim..


Correct the Guar was based around a Clannfear Skeleton and used it animation's..

I like the Magma Fiend Texture..(But Beth really could have done a better job on Frost & Storm Atronach Model),,The Flame they got right..

======

Hey Look a Plain Trolls and 2 New Mudcrabs in One Spot..okay So I lured the Plains Troll in hope it would kill the Giant that was not at it camp...And there was a stream close by that spawned the mudcrabs..I will have to fix the whole troll being friend with mudcrabs thing..Mudcrabs are food for Trolls after all..

http://s1.bild.me/bilder/060112/9641252sca6.jpg

http://s1.bild.me/bilder/060112/9481180sca7.jpg

Oh ok, kinda svcks though. So our only hope is to get a animation from a dlc that could fit with guar? I wonder why animations are so hard to make...

Oh and you purposely didnt name this thread 2? Or mistake?
