Oblivion Magic Extender

Name: Oblivion Magic Extender Version: v1. 0 Date: 2010-09 Category: Magic - Gameplay Author: JRoush Forum Thread: Bethesda Forums Contact: jroush.tesmods@gmail.com Requirements: NOTE: using OBME with the wrong verison of Oblivion or the CS will, at best, cause it to crash.

• [] Oblivion v1. 2. 0416 [] TESCS v1. 2. 404 (only if you are planning to make mods using OBME) [] Oblivion Script Extender (obse) v0018 or higher. v0019 recommended.

Description: OBME extends the Oblivion magic system to make it more general and open to mod makers. It is a pair of plugin libraries for OBSE that hack the game/CS to change it\'s behavior. This is the same principle behind OBSE itself - it\'s quite safe, and legal. OBME does not alter Oblivion.exe or TESConstructionSet.exe in any way. The key features are:

• [] More control in editing Magic Effects and Effect Items in the CS [] Creating new magic effects, both in the CS and from scripts in-game [] Any effect item may now override select properties of it\'s magic effect: Name, School, VFXCode, Hostility, Icon, Base Cost, Resistance AV, and numerous of other properties. [] Expanded ModifyActorValue handler to specify what modifier is affected [] Expanded SummonActor effect handler to allow custom summoning limits [] Expanded ScriptEffect handler to allow scripts specified for an entire magic effect, not just individual effect items [] Expanded Dispel effect handler to allow partial dispelling of effects, to selectively dispel effects based on magic effect, effect handler, hostility, and magic item type [] When an active effect is dispelled by recasting the spell or exceeding a summoning limit, its remaining magicka may be \"reclaimed\" to strengthen the effect that replaces it.

OBME is a modding resource*. All of it\'s features are modular, and are disabled by default. A 3rd party mod like the included examples is required to actually use any of these features. For more details and technical information, please see the accompanying document \'OBME Features.pdf\'. This file has background information and technical details. Compatibility with the Oblivion Script Extender: Some obse functions will not work with OBME, and some have been deprecated. See the full readme for details. Compatibility with other mods: OBME doesn\'t add any actual content to the game, so there is no chance of conflicts with any traditional mods. Mods made for OBME can be loaded even if OBME isn\'t installed. Any OBME-specific features are disabled, so the mod may not be very useful. Savegames made with OBME can be loaded after OBME is uninstalled, provided the \'Uninstallation\' directions above are followed. OBME is designed to be compatible with AddActorValues. OBME is incompatible with
