Video demo: http://media.putfile.com/oblivion-binoculars official forum thread: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=560762 Binoculars 1. 1 by Mundane ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Disclaimer and credits: This is my first attempt at modding. I just wrote 1 script . You will need the OBLIVION SCRIPT EXTENDER (OBSE) installed and running to use this mod. I use the version v0008 Download page: http://obse.silverlock.org/ I literraly stole the model and textures made by KafeiDotour and included in the excellent Dwemer Spectacles v3 mod. Take a look at it, it adds glasses, eye patches and many more nice eye wears. Download Page: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=5198 ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Version history: 1. 1 -Right mouse button to activate the zooming -Zoom can be controlled with mouse wheel. -Added \"tic\" sounds ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Description: -Adds a pair of functional binoculars to the game. -There are no quests but I placed the binoculars in the house of it\'s owner, you will need to steal them! (The item will not appear as stolen in inventory). -A clue can be found at the copius coin purse, in the market district of the imperial city. -You probably already know the owner if you played the game for a while. If not, you WILL meet him. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Controls: -When equipped, press the right mouse button(RMB) to activate the zooming. (The default action of the RMB is deactivated) -Zooming in and out: With RMB pressed, use the mouse wheel. -Display zooming factor: With RMB pressed, press MMB. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Installation: Extract to your Oblivion/Data folder and check the esp. file. If prompted, allow files to overwrite. You need to use the OBLIVION SCRIPT EXTENDER (OBSE) for this to work (see http://obse.silverlock.org/). ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Conflicts/Bugs: Nothing so far, should not interfere with other mods since its only 1 short script. ---------------------------- ----------------------------
