📋 About This Mod
Description: This adds the inanimate cuboid object known as the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube, which is used as a tool to complete one specific level on Valve\'s puzzle game Portal, to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It can be found outside the front entrance to the Chapel in Chorrol. \"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.\" \"In the event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.\"
- Compatibility: [] ESP untested with un-patched versions of oblivion, but should work [] If you use the Open Cities mods the cube won\'t appear.
- Updates: []Version 1. 2 Version 1 is not required for functionality.
- []The .esp and icon files remains unchanged from v1. []Fixed the issue with the cube appearing black indoors. []Added a glowmap for the strips down the side, which you can see in this image created by Xzen. []Replaced texture and normal maps then moved them into their own folder.
- Future development: []Version 2
- []A render of how far I\'ve currently gotten with making the v2 model & texture, which is now finished visually but the collision physics still need sorting for the new model; since 3DSmax9 seems to have problems with exporting anything other than static meshes; as soon as that is done, however, it will be ready for your enjoyment. []Also in up-to-come version2 pics is a screen shot demo of the Enrichment Center inside Oblivion, from before I had fixed the scale issue I had with it, which I may or may not include with the cube and may, or may not, have a small quest with the Companion Cube as the reward.
