📋 About This Mod
REQUIREMENTS:
Bloodmoon + Tribunal MWSE (tested with latest and greatest MGE XE)
Original description of Arcimaestro Antares' Bounty Hunters 1. 1:
"This mod adds the Bounty Hunters as encounters in the game. They are tough Npcs that will try to take you to prison (or to kill you) if your bounty is 500 or over. They can be met in taverns or in the wilderness."
2. 0 Features/Changes :
1) Bounty hunters can actively pursue (not simply follow) you through different cells. a) I created a simple simulation based on the distance to the player to determine how much time it takes before they appear in the new cell. b) You can cause them to lose your trail in an intuitive manner. Otherwise, if you can't pay them directly, you'll have to run to a guard or whatever to: pay your reduced fine (turn-in bonus), or choose to go to prison. c) This is seriously optimized for performance, so you shouldn't notice any loss. 2) Bounty hunters have a chance to spawn (and re-spawn) in 18 inns/taverns in the game (where thematically appropriate). a) I adjusted the spawn chance so that there is ~50% chance that there is no bounty hunter in that city/town, regardless of the number of actual spawn locations... so it won't feel like there's too many of them. 3) Changed dialogue a bit (only those added by the mod -- no vanilla dialogue infos should be touched in any way) a) for style (but it could be better with race-specific dialogue) b) added a dialogue check for when your crime level is >= 5000 (for kill warrants) c) Changed the dialogue result that sent you to jail to one that allows you to pay a fine (for better compatibility with any Go To Jail mod)... this will cost more than paying guards due to not receiving the turn-in discount (this is intentional).
2. 0. 2 Changes:
1) Very minor script change (not really a big deal). If you care to know the details, I was using a local copy of isInterior which stored the value of GetInterior within a doOnce block which ran only when the bounty hunter was spawned as a performance optimization. It works, but it turns out I can't get away with doing that all the time, because in some situations that can change the behavior of the bounty hunter. No one would probably notice the difference except for me, though. It was a very minor optimization to begin with that turned out not to be worth the trouble. 2) I had trouble uploading here it as 2. 0. 1, so using the name 2. 0. 2
HOTFIX 1 changes:
1) Changes the "BH_script" to remove the AIWander command when you pay off bounty hunters in exterior cells because it would cause a CTD (at least in my game under the conditions I tested). This fixes that. I don't expect to find any other bugs. Load

- Test the mod early in a new save to see if the bounty hunter behavior works as intended.
