Dynamic Timescale

This mod changes how quickly time passes in-game depending on where you are and what you're doing. Now traveling on foot between cities will take an appropriately long amount of in-game time (since Vvardenfell is supposed to be much larger than it appears), while time slows down in other situations so days won't pass while exploring a dungeon. This mod is based roughly on the Oblivion mod of the same name.

There are different timescales for town interiors, dungeons, town exteriors, other named exterior locations and wilderness areas. There are also different timescales triggered by various activities, and you can have time pass at a different rate at night than during the day. In addition, you can significantly speed up the passage of time by holding down a configurable hotkey (use the control key as well to speed up time even more). All of these features and a number of other settings are configurable in the Mod Config Menu.

Finally, the mod includes a feature allowing other mods to temporarily disable this mod, potentially allowing for compatibility with other MWSE-lua mods that change the timescale.

Timescale Priority List

The timescale is the number of seconds of in-game time that pass per real-time second. Vanilla Morrowind uses a timescale of 30.

Timescales are applied with the following priority, from highest to lowest:

Blocked: If another MWSE-lua mod has temporarily blocked Dynamic Timescale, then this mod will do nothing, allowing the other mod to control the timescale.

Turbo Mode: If you're holding down the configurable hotkey plus the control key, the Turbo timescale will be applied. (Default: 3600, or one hour per second)

Fast Forward Mode: If you're holding down the hotkey without using control, the Fast Forward timescale will be applied. (Default: 360, or six minutes per second)

Combat: If you're in combat, the combat timescale will be used. This can be disabled entirely in the MCM. (Default: 10)

Sneaking: While you're in sneak mode. This can also be disabled. (Default: 10)

Wary: Wariness means you're paying careful attention to your surroundings. By default, the following actions trigger wariness: attacking, being attacked, casting (or attempting to cast) a spell, taking a certain amount of damage, or activating an object. (Default: 10)

The wary timescale can be disabled entirely in the MCM, and each wariness trigger can be disabled individually. You'll remain wary for a certain length of time after any of the enabled trigger events occur, and this length of time is also configurable. (Default: 10 seconds)

In addition, the amount of damage you must take in a single attack or o
