Congrats to your release m0nster.

Since you're working with travelling priest I wonder if this is feasible. How about having entertainers of the Bard's College in Solitude travels on the roads and perhaps have them on the dirt tracks too on their way to the spread out war camps there is in Skyrim.

[m0nster]

Thanks
I actually planned to include bards instead of priests in version 1.3.
But I ran into a few problems and decided to work on something easier first.

Travelling to the war camps is a good idea - it may be suitable for some other traveller types too (e.g. apothecaries).

Edited by m0nster, 06 July 2012 - 06:44 PM.

[Leonardo]

That's okay with me and take your time.

In the mean time I saw this in the OP. I wonder what will happen if you have all of them activated at the same time?

Since version 1.10 the mod includes optional files containing only specific travellers:
'TravellersOfSkyrim - Alchemists Vanilla.esp', 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Apothecaries Vanilla.esp', 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Mercenaries Vanilla.esp' and 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Merchants Vanilla.esp'.
They can be combined as you please.
In order to use them the 'TravellersOfSkyrim.esm' is required!
They can't be used in combination with 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Vanilla.esp'!

I don't have any problems by using them plus I'm using the AFT mod in my game.

[m0nster]

It wouldn't make much sense to use one of the optional files together with 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Vanilla.esp', since it already contains 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Alchemists Vanilla.esp', 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Apothecaries Vanilla.esp', 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Mercenaries Vanilla.esp' and 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Merchants Vanilla.esp'.
Using them with 'TravellersOfSkyrim - Vanilla.esp' could lead to duplicated NPCs - but I didn't test it myself.

As stated you can combine the optional files in any way you want to. Also all of them - although using the main files would make more sense

I hope that answers you question

[Leonardo]

Yes it did answer my question and more than you would know.

You see it also gave me an answer why I had 7 CTD's in a row from that point when I step in the Helgen Keep cave during the final quest of the Live Another Life mod. Before I could enter the cave I had one CTD and the last one was after the Bleak Falls Barrow quest started, but 5 CTD occur from when I came out of the cave and I could finish the Before the Storm quest. All that time I had the Economics of Skyrim mod installed along with your mod plus those extra esp I mention, which could explain why I had so many CTD within 1-2 hours of playing.

I haven't seen a white skinned Khajiit before and I think this is a Mercenary Warrior.

Now was I ready to go out and explore the world and investigate the rumours near Helgen which I did, but when I was just about to go inside of the Helgen Keep cave I had my 1/7 CTD (only the last one occur later) and the first 6 CTD's occurred before I enter the Dragonreach to inform Jarl Balgruuf the Greater about what has happen in Helgen before the next quest began. Here is some pictures during this time.

Hehe, I created the NPCs pretty much based on guesswork since my half broken PC wasn't able to display the character preview.
I'm glad they turned out ok

Out of curiosity: does the increased follower limit by 'Amazing Follower Tweaks' work for the mercenaries?

I guess that he didn't want to die so soon in his mercenary career after all did he. He could also got use the harsh weather in Skyrim and his skin would change colours just let him have some sort of camouflage in the snowy terrain. Anyway it looks good in-game and if you release a weather body replacer based on the Traveller Of Skyrim mod it would be welcome too for most people including me.

TBH I don't know since I haven't explored all feature in AFT just yet, but eventually I would probably do that and if I had a problem I'll let you know about it okay.

[m0nster]

Version 1.30 is online:

• Added basic bow and arrows to the 'Travelling Warriors'.
• Added torches to all travellers.
• Upated the 'TravellersOfSkyrim - UFO Compatibility Patch'.
• Fixed the class for 'Travelling Warriors' using two-handed weapons.
• Fixed the 'Travelling Conjurer''s AI package and equipment.
• Fixed faction issues.
• Fixed vendor chests / inventory.
• Removed master level spell tomes from the 'Travelling Merchants'.
• A clean save is required! (How to do it: http://arwenevecom.i....htm#Clean_Save)

If the dialogue for the traveller NPCs doesn't appear try saving your game and immediately loading that save!
For version 1.3 there are currently no optional files containing only specific travellers available.

[Tigersong]

Please say you gave each character a unique name...

[m0nster]

They have generic 'Travelling ...' names.
Giving them unique names would be a bit odd since they respawn.

Edited by m0nster, 07 August 2012 - 10:35 PM.

[m0nster]

Version 1.31 is live!
If you weren't able to encounter travellers previously you might want to try this update.

Changes:

• Fixed a bug that caused the travellers to be stuck at their spawnpoint.
• Balanced the travellers' level scaling.

Edited by m0nster, 19 August 2012 - 11:33 AM.

A Dragonborn Addon is now available. It allows the travellers to visit 'The Retching Netch' in 'Raven Rock'.

Travellers of Skyrim had it's first anniversary on the 19th of April.
I want to thank all of you who supported the mod in the last year through downloading and playing it, posting feedback and suggestions, creating translations and providing great mod hosting sites and a big thank you to the Elder Scrolls modding community in general for being great.

[m0nster]

Another addon for 'Traveller of Skyrim' is available!

It requires either the latest 'Vanilla Version' ('Full Version') or 'Light Version' of 'Travellers of Skyrim' and 'The Ningheim Race' mod.
Alternatively you can set it up as a standalone mod if you use the latest 'Travellers of Skyrim - esm file' instead of the 'Vanilla Version' or 'Light Version'.
