📋 About This Mod

This is my enhanced version of Lock Bash Enhanced ; this last one is a mod by Piepers, TheLys & DarkDragon. Big credits to them. If they want me to remove my mod, i will do it.

This mod changes all concerned doors and containers! It's expected for Morrowind+Tribunal+Bloodmoon, not for Tamriel Rebuild...

The chance to break the lock depends of the door/container (editable), the weapon (including fist), the skill and/or the strengh. The player, or the weapon, can be damaged. While bashing, you get a 100 penalty in sneaking.

My enhancements :

- Some bugs corrections (including forgotten things)

- Improvement of the « night time doors lock » owners setting

- Better angles to hit door/container

- Better mathematical simulation

- Big improvement of the detection mechanism (to put a bounty on your head)

- Messages improvements

- When you hit a lock, actors around come to see what's happening!... ()

() Only with version 3.x and with No More Indifferent Actors To Combats. If you don't use OpenMW, or if you don't use No More Indifferent Actors To Combats, it's better to stay with version 2.x.

If you hit a locked door/container, and you get detected, you will get a bounty on you head if you’re in a « populated » area. Populated area are all these cells families : Vivec, Ald-ruhn, Balmora, Caldera, Ald Velothi, Dagon Fel, Seyda Neen, Sadrith Mora, Mournhold, Pelagiad, Tel Branora, Vos, Tel Mora, Suran, Raven Rock, Gnaar Mok, Gnisis, Hla Oad, Khuul, Maar Gan, Molag Mar, Dren Plantation, Tel Aruhn, Skaal Village, Arvel Manor, Ules Manor, Morvayn Manor, Omani Manor, Balur's farmhouse, Alof's farmhouse, Dirara's farmhouse, Llovyn's farmhouse, Manat's farmhouse, Nilera's farmhouse, Piernette's farmhouse

If you want to change this list, you have to edit my lb_isolated script…

In my opinion, the crime bounty for a lock bash must be equal to « Trespass » x 2. As trespass crime is 5 (Morrowind original value) i set lock bash crime bounty to 10 (default value ; editable, see below). So if you hit a door/container eleven times (and you’re detected in a populated area) you will get 10 crime bounty on your head, eleven times (10 x 11 => 110).

Console commands with default values examples (you can ignore case):
