Basic Wilderness Encounters

DESCRIPTION:

With every excursion out into the wilderness there is a chance you'll come across some of the new randomized and sporadic mob encounters during the day or night. Upon leaving an urban or rural location, enemies may spawn after about 4 to 10 hours and then there should be 4 to 10 hours (ish) between further spawns while still in the wilderness (remember the vanilla spawns will still happen as normal). I made this for myself because I found the other wilderness encounter mods a bit high impact for my tastes and play style (I like to wander in the wilderness and camp out with only some interruptions - not so many it makes travel and resting an absolute pain). I decided to release it so that others with the same desire can enjoy.

NB: I made this without the Travel Options mod in mind (I personally don't use it, I prefer to either travel in real time or use the default Fast Travel option when needed), but if you do, you may find the spawns happen too quickly when traveling at an increased rate. You can edit the time between spawns in the BWENC000 text file of this mod (it's in the "StreamingAssets/QuestPacks/Harbinger451/BasicWildernessEncounters Quests" folder), change the line "Clock _delay_ 04:00 10:00" to "Clock _delay_ 06:00 12:00" or to whatever min and max number of hours you like, just make sure they are in the same hh:mm format as presented here. Experiment till you reach that sweet spot for you. Of course, if your not using Travel Options, and are feeling adventurous, you can set them to spawn way more often ... but that's on you.

Most will be lone or small party encounters, though sometimes two parties may spawn together (changed from three because two just seems a bit more natural - I've also increased the numbers of enemies in some spawns). Some will be friendly, most will not. Infighting is hard-coded into this mod, so whether you have enemy infighting switched on or not, the spawns will infight regardless to prevent you from being overwhelmed on occasion.

A few of the spawns may manifest a fairly high level enemy (Daedras), though this should be quite rare and will only happen during the two party spawns so the infighting should help you out somewhat.

During the day, Humans or Wild Animals have the highest chance of spawning, followed closely by Orcs, then monsters (Centaurs, Giants or Spriggans and the like). Magicals (Imps, Gargoyles or Atronachs) will be somewhat less likely and Daedra (Daedra Seducer, Daedroth, Fire Daedra or Frost Daedra) coming in last will be the least likely to spawn.

At night, the undead (Skeletons, Zombies, Ghosts or Vampires and the like) replace about half the Orc and Human spawns, vermin (Rats and Bats) replace about half of the animal spawns, and Werecreatures replace most of the monster spawns. Magicals and Daedra stay about the same.

I've excluded the most deadly enemies all together; Liches, Ancient
