Shattered Stones - An Earthquake Mod
HWkk_1YSXso
This mod adds recurring earthquakes to certain volcanically active regions of Vvardenfell. The quakes are implemented strictly for atmospheric purposes and should not directly affect gameplay or conflict with any other mods.
How it works:
While you're in the designated region (interior or exterior, see the map), a background script will periodically roll for a chance to spawn an earthquake. If the roll succeeds, an earthquake will begin proper and you will experience the various effects associated with them: you'll hear the sounds of moving earth and breaking rocks, your screen will start to tremble with increasing intensity, and, if inside an interior, dust and particles will shake loose and fall from the walls and ceiling.
Location where the earthquakes can take place:
To quickly take a look at how the earthquakes look, you can just use the following console commands:
set fQuakeTimer to 10 set fQuakeChance to 100 coc Mababi
