📋 About This Mod
Mod: Archmage\'s Study Author: DJ_Zephyr Original Release Date: 11/09/2009 Last Update: 6/24/2010 Shivering Isles is required since I\'ve used meshes from this expansion. _ Basic Description: When the rigors of adventuring, research and guild management finally take their toll, even one as powerful as the Archmagister needs to take a break. But what kind of place is a dark-lit, stuffy bedroom to relax and meditate? It\'s certainly not fitting of the highest rank in one of the most prestigious and powerful factions in Tamriel. Hence, the Study was installed! A quick step on a portal takes one to the top of the Archmage\'s Tower, a place of peace and tranquility with a view of the Heartland rivaled only by White Gold Tower itself. Small sprites zip around the room, drawn to the Ayleid wellspring that serves as a ceiling and chandelier. Enchanted waters stir mysteriously within a magically-warmed basin, capable of cleansing any ailment. If one tires of studying the view, they can study their book collection at a welkynd-lit desk. To further magical studies, globes of Nirn, Masser and Secunda are mere steps away, and poking one\'s head (carefully) out the window affords an excellent view of the stars at night. Finally, a worthy home to the master of the Mage\'s Guild! _ Notes: The \'room\' is placed entirely in the Tamriel worldspace, so expect something similar to your outdoor FPS (my semi-antique rig runs it fine, with and without Streamline). The room is accessed via a new portal panel in the vanilla Archmage\'s Quarters. Some of the clutter items- namely, an envelope and a scroll on the desk- may have a bad habit of falling; I\'ve tried my best to prevent this, but they still seem a bit unruly (any help with this would be nice!). Note that the books and scroll on the desk are unscripted replicas, and will not affect any quests, so feel free to move \'em about. The arcane bath uses a modification of the chapel altar spell and script, but can be used regardless of infamy. Move your mouse around and you\'ll find a hidden seat inside the basin should you wish to role-play a relaxing soak in the tub. The ayleid well functions the same as its vanilla counterparts- if you find the sound annoying, simply \'use\' the well and it should go away til the well recharges (the room lighting will remain). I\'ve placed invisible \'chairs\' at each window; your seated position will be outside the window, but when you get back up, your character will climb back inside- no worries about taking a tumble! The two smaller globes can be picked up and moved as you see fit, but be careful not to bump em\' out of place if you like where they are (I recommend Beancounter\'s awesome Decorator Assistant should you wish to lock down any items). Update- I\'ve added a couple of files that the game doesnt seem to wanna read from the BSA- the critical meshes and textures that compose the tower architecture. I also need to me
