📋 About This Mod
C Coleen\'s Portable Tent (Beta) By Coleen This mod adds a portable tent with interior cell to the Wastelands. It is currently for sale as \"Tent Instructions\" from Moira in Megaton and at Rivet City from Seagrave Holmes. Tent Instructions will show up in your miscellaneous menu. Drop them on the ground, make sure the arrow is pointing to your right, and activate the book. Voila! Welcome to your home away from home. To enter the tent, simply activate it, and to take the tent down, crouch, and activate it. As this is a beta, there are a few bugs I haven\'t yet worked out. The tent instructions have to be facing to your right in order for the tent to spawn properly, and once you take the tent down, you will continue to have a message on the bottom of the screen indicating for you to \'take\' the tent. Open your Pip Boy to clear this message. This mod is inspired by, and partially based off, of the dandy scriptwork of Diernayr. Installation: Extract the .esp, meshes, and textures to the data files directory. Contact info: I may be reached at the Bethesda forums as Coleen. Version: 1. 0: Initial beta release. 1. 1: Added a map maker that is automatically placed when the tent is pitched. 1. 2: Fixed an issue with the map marker showing up before you\'ve purchased the tent. Also added a version in which the tent has no interior storage boxes. The legalese: This combined tent/door in this mod may be used in other mods, as long as credit is given in the readme. The scriptwork originated with Diernayer, and the tent spawn blueprint is also by Diernayer. Credits: Diernayer for the scriptwork and meshes/textures for the ground spawn object. ThomasGideon for the combined tent/door mesh. The Fallout 3 community for inspiration, help, and advice.
