📋 About This Mod
This is an .esp replacer that patches Ducks and Swans for Cyrodiil's scripts and allows it to be compatible with Unique Landscapes Compilation.
It is built upon the optional .esp available on Ducks and Swans for Cyrodiil titles "Ducks and Swans UL Imperial Isle Patch", therefore, it is also compatible with Better Cities.
Script Fixes:
The original mod's scripts all had commands that were attached to gamemode blocks with no conditions to stop them from firing constantly. That means that every duck and goose had a script attached to it that was outputting a command every frame. This is placing very unnecessary script strain on the game.
- Conditions have been added to the scripts that will cause them to fire only once when each condition is met, as opposed to constantly.
- Conditions have also been added that will allow the ducks/geese to enable/disable themselves only once the player is greater than 5000 units away. This will hopefully allow them to only enable/disable when out of sight, to increase immersion.
Cell changes:
- 25,1 - moved a floating duck nest
- 29,20 - deleted everything
- 33,0 - deleted a duck
- 38,-13 - deleted everything
- 44,-8 - deleted duck nest
- 19,-17 moved a duck family slightly so that it no longer collides with waterlillies
- 10,-9 moved swan slightly so that it doesn't collide with objects
- 43,-6 moved swan so that it doesn't collide with objects
- Deleted all edits to vanilla objects (like moved rocks/plants)
- Deleted all added plants/bushes
Name Changes:
Some of the mod's objects either had no names or had names that were inconsistent with the rest of the mod's mechanics.
- duckfamilynestC - changed name from "Catch Duck" to "Duck Family"
- aaDuckFamilyA, aaDuckFamilyB, aaDuckFamilyNestB - named "Duck Family" because they had no name
- aaDuckNest - named "Duck"
- aaDuckNestEmpty - named "Duck Nest"
Requirements
1. Ducks and Swans for Cyrodiil - My mod only replaces the .esp. You need the original download to actually have the models and textures.
Optional
Unique Landscapes Compilation - This esp technically doesn't require Unique Landscapes. It has simply been edited to no longer be incompatible with it.
Installation
1. Download Ducks and Swans for Cyrodiil
2. Download my mod, unzip the file, and Drop the folder titled "data" in your Oblivion directory and confirm any messages asking to overwrite any files.
