OBLIVIFALL - Last Call! - "There you can have a flagon of ale, enjoy the bard's versifications, and chat with the pub regulars. Some of the greatest adventures have had their starts in smoky, noisy taverns." - The Daggerfall Manual, p.58 What is it about? Oblivifall - Last Call should be the last module to complete my Oblivifall series of mods; a series that adds new gameplay elements that were found in The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall. Last Call is about enhancing the mood in taverns and inns by adding patrons like citizens, minstrels, bouncers, serving gals/guys, adventurers, prostitutes/courtesans and more along with drinking contests, fistfights and, possibly, dialogue-based gambling. This project is basically about making taverns feel like busy places where people from all social classes and professions come to relax, share rumors and perform shady deals while listening to the bard's songs and stories. Features ​Over 1600 new NPCs ​Generic NPCs: Travelers from a leveled list of various professions and backgrounds who spawn inside Cyrodiil's inns and taverns. They are replaced anytime a tavern cell resets (Three days by Oblivion default). Includes Arena combatants, assassins, barbarians, warriors, crusaders, farmers, herders, pilgrims, thieves, etc. (Full list of NPC classes at the end) Regulars: Composed of named peasants, commoners and nobles, those citizens are the taverns' main customers. They fill the tavern during the busy hours (Dawn, Noon and Dusk). They arrive at the tavern during those hours to eat, drink, dance and chat. If you become a regular, you may start noticing a few faces you saw before. ​Minstrels: Minstrels travel around Cyrodiil to play their lute and learn the latest rumors. Some minstrels are entertainers to the courts of Cyrodiil, others play in the streets during the day and move to taverns at night. Other than playing their lute, they can also offer services to the player for some septims: Rumors: Bards are the best source of information. They hear and participate in the taverns' discussions. For 5 septims, they will inform the player of rumors and information they heard. There are more than 100 rumors, all based on quests the player has or hasn't completed along with other main events. Storytelling: For 75 septims, the minstrel can make up a story about your good or evil deeds each month. This will increase your fame or infamy by five points. When your fame or infamy is high enough, storytelling will no longer be possible. Tipping: You can also simply tip the minstrel while he's performing to show your gratitude. Tip enough and you'll put a smile on his face while he's playing his lute! (An unintended but very nice side effect) Special NPCs: These characters can interact with the player in interesting ways: Bounty Hunters: May recognize and confront the player if he has a bounty on his head. (Minimum 250 gold) Healers: For a fee, healers can restore the player's health, cure his diseases or perform a full restoration. Traveling Merchants: They carry around various miscellaneous wares for sale and can buy some loot from the player. Vampire Hunters: Armed with vampire-slaying weapons, they will spot and attack the vampire player after some time if the player stays in his sight for long enough. Serving Gals/Guys: These people are employed by some of the bigger/busier establishments. They will greet the player when he sits down, offering him drinks and food. They also give information about their establishment's services. Prostitutes/Courtesans: Prostitutes are found in some low-class taverns and inns and can provide a good night's rest for a small fee. Courtesans, on the other hand, are trained in erotic instruction at the House of Dibella and are found in high-class inns. An expensive night with a courtesan will grant the player a small bonus to his personality and endurance for a limited time. Bouncers: Mostly composed of Nords and Orcs, bouncers are there to throw out drunkards and undesirable patrons. Trained in hand-to-hand, they will try to break fights, hopefully before the city guards arrive. Fences: These freelance smugglers are direct competitors to the Thieves Guild. They appear at certain dates, at certain times and at certain places to sell or buy hot merchandise from other freelancers. Dancers: In low-class and mid-class establishments, some patrons will stand up and dance to the minstrel's moving songs. Real-Time Drinking Contests A popular gambling game among adventurers and hard-working peasants, drinking contests test the contestants' alcohol resistance. The first to fall unconscious loses! Contestants can be found in several taverns, mug in hand. Rules: The two contestants agree to a bet. The first to fall unconscious loses his bet and the winner earns it. If both contestants fail, they get their bet back. (And they look funny, lying on the floor in the middle of the tavern until they regain consciousness) Alcohol resistance: The higher a contestant's Endurance, the more resistant he is. Orcs and Nords have a higher resistance than other races. Luck also plays a part. Being very lucky will increase your resistance. Fistfights ​While illegal, some taverns open their basement to fistfights for high-paying customers which are mainly comprised of nobles and other high class characters. Participate in fights to earn money or place bets on contestants. These special VIP clubs are also home to drug dealing and other shady activities. You'll need to be a good friend with the owner to pay your way into the nobles' den of depravity. Cats & rats ​Cats have always been important to tavern owners. Do not be surprised to see a cat wandering about the inn's basement looking for their prey. On the other hand, some low-class establishments cannot afford cats, so do not also be surprised to see a small rodent or two in your room. Horses outside taverns To simulate the come and go of travelers on the road, different species of horses populate the stables and exteriors of roadside establishments.

The problem with OnClose is that the event initiates only when the object finishes its closing animation. In the case of most containers, there is no such animation so the event never initiates. In this case, the sack does not have a close animation. Thank you for the tips, Will and Trira, I'll try with these modifications and let you know what happens.

Greetings! I've been trying to get a script to work on a container. The script checks if the container has two particular items. But for some reason, the GetItemCount condition is not working. Here are the details: The script is attached on a container. The player is tasked with placing a fake letter in a sack and removing the real letter. The script sets a Int to 1 if it sees that the sack has the fake letter, sets another Int to 0 if it sees it does not have the real letter and when the conditions are met, it updates the quest stage to confirm the player has succesfully done his job. Here is the script, followed by the error report: Scriptname TOSInn01CourierSackScript extends ObjectReference Quest Property TOSInn01Quest Auto Container Property ContainerTOSInn01CourierSack Auto Book Property BookTOSInn01RealLetter Auto Book Property BookTOSInn01FakeLetter Auto Int Property FakeLetterPlaced Auto Int Property RealLetterPlaced Auto; Set to 1 by default Event OnInit() RegisterForUpdate(1) GoToState("InventoryCheck") EndEvent State InventoryCheck Event OnUpdate() If FakeLetterPlaced == 0 If (ContainerTOSInn01CourierSack.GetItemCount(BOOKTOSInn01FakeLetter) == 1) FakeLetterPlaced = 1 else FakeLetterPlaced = 0 Endif Endif If RealLetterPlaced == 1 If (ContainerTOSInn01CourierSack.GetItemCount(BOOKTOSInn01RealLetter) == 0) RealLetterPlaced = 0 else RealLetterPlaced = 1 Endif Endif If FakeLetterPlaced == 1 && RealLetterPlaced == 0 TOSInn01Quest.SetStage(20) Endif EndEvent EndState And the error report: I'm confused.

Well then, all sounds have been found, edited and are ready to be put in the game once the CK is released. SoS will add around 470 sound effects to all areas of the game. Here are the links to samples from the Dungeons, Civilization and Special Events sound sets: The Dungeons Civilization Special Events About the project's distribution....Sounds of Skyrim will be released in modular form and a Full version. There will be a module for Civilization, The Wilds, The Dungeons and Special Events so the users will be able to install the module they are interested in. The Full version is simply all modules put together. Sounds of Skyrim will come with an in-game config with which the user can enable/disable certain sound effects such as looped chatter in cities or taverns. The folder structure also allows the user to remove or add his own sound effects so they can be played in Skyrim. For example, a user can record himself shouting insults and place it in the "CitySoundsReverb" folder to hear his voice in the game's cities.

Here's a new sound effect. The dungeons are pretty much complete, so onwards to Special Events. The following sound, which is still a work-in-progress, is one of the sounds played when a dragon flies-by a Stormcloak-occupied city. Only cities (Like Windhelm) or towns (Like Dawnstar or Riverwood) have this sound. Smaller settlements do not. When a dragon attacks, there's the possibility that this sound is played, or only horns or only the people screaming. So that way it is not redundant, especially considering how the dragons love to launch frequent attacks there. If the dragon attacks at night, you'll only hear the horns. Imperial-Occupied towns have the Imperial battle horn instead of the Stormcloak's. Special Event - Dragon Attack on a Stormcloak Town

Three more compilations for your ears. Once again, we are in the depths of Skyrim's dungeons: Forts and Burrows - Standard Compilation - Echoed, distant impacts. Done by draugrs or human hand? Sewers - Compilation - Metal gates creaking far in the corridors, rats squeaking and fighting, echoed distant impacts from the inhabitants. Distant Falmer Screams Compilation - Falmers are blind and rely on their hearing to sense danger. When they hear something, they scream to alert their brethren. When you hear these high pitched, distant screams, you know a Falmer tribe is waiting for you. For the inhabitants' screams and the like, I do wonder if it's possible with a script command to know if an area has been cleared of monsters. Hopefully there's a function that can check this and thus, remove the dungeon inhabitant sounds when you've cleared an area. Otherwise, I am pretty much done in sound research. I have distant sounds for most animals/creatures that you can hear at night or day from inside and outside. Like a lone wolf howling or several wolves howling at each other. On the next update I will provide the "Horror" dungeon sound effects. These include ghosts, undead and Daedras sound effects played in the dungeons inhabited by these fine gentlemen we love to destroy. EDIT: Oh and I also changed the Dwemer Standard sounds. The creaking did not please me and I muchly preferred subtle, echoed and reverbed metallic impacts. It fits the atmosphere better, don't you think? Thanks!

Here are two compilations of the Dwemer Ruins sound sets. The first being the sounds you'll hear in the Dwemer Ruins inhabited only by the Dwemer machines or bandits. The second being what you hear in Dwemer Ruins inhabited by the Falmer. The first compilation is also heard in the Falmers' lairs, so that you do not only hear their screams. Enjoy! Dwemer Ruins - Standard Compilation Dwemer Ruins - Falmer Inhabitants Compilation Note: The volume has been raised for easier listening. It'll be quieter in the game. Thank you very much Stone! I knew you'd be the first to reply.

Sounds of Skyrim What does it do? Sounds of Cyrodiil, Sounds of Skyrim adds around 450+ sound effects to the game that are played from thousands of hand-placed sound emission points. Sounds of Skyrim affects most cells and regions. From Civilization to the Dungeons; From the Wilds to Special Events, all situations will benefit from sound additions. The time of day gives you a different atmosphere. So when walking in the city streets during the day, you’ll hear the echo of people shouting in the distance, doors opening and closing, workers hammering roofs. While at night, cats fight for territory, dogs bark, drunkards yell. In dungeons, the enemy type that lives in them will make itself heard. In an undead infested dungeon, zombies moan and spirits shriek. In Dwemer Ruins inhabited by the Falmer, their screams alert you of their presence. Like most sound effects, there is a random delay between each sound and a random direction when it happens so you can never guess what sound will play next, when and where it will come from. Thus, keeping you on the edge in dungeons and creating a nice audio environment in civilized areas. The other main feature is being able to hear the outside from the inside. If you get close to windows inside buildings, you’ll hear what’s going on outside. If you’re in a wilderness cabin, you’ll hear the nature sounds around you. If you’re in the entrance of a cave and look outside, you’ll hear the birds and other animals going about their lives. If you're in your house and you look outside, you'll hear what's going in the street. If it's raining, you'll hear the ripples hit the windows and if there's a thunderstorm raging outside, you'll hear the occasional lightning strike. In taverns, patrons chat, yell they want more wine, burp, cough or laugh out loud. When wandering on the city streets in the evening, walk by a tavern and you'll hear the activity from outside. In the Wilds, climb mountains and hear a monster's screaming echo or a far away avalanche. Take a walk in the forest and hear small mammals running from you in the bushes and grass. In Special Events, certain quests or events will have received some audio goodness/additions. For instance, when a dragon flies above a town, you'll hear the soldiers sounding the battle horn and the villagers screaming for their lives. Sounds of Skyrim is about overhauling your Skyrim audio experience. It's about making the game pretty for your ears. For your ears' pleasure Civilization Sounds Samples Dungeon Sounds Samples Special Events Samples As the sounds get designed and edited, I will be adding them to a setlist on Sounds of Skyrim's SoundCloud page. You can easily select which sound compilation you want to listen to on the same page. Enjoy! Trailers The trailers are now online. Select the trailer of your choice. At the end, you'll be directed to the other two trailers. Enjoy! Detailed Soundlist Most of the sounds included in the list can be heard from inside if you’re in a building where you can hear them. For instance, if you’re in a farmhouse that has cows nearby at night, you’ll hear wolves howling, owls, crickets and the cows. Have a suggestion? Share it.
