📋 About This Mod
Changes the scripting for the logs in Qarl\'s Harvest so that searching a log doesn’t yield a smorgasbord of mushrooms; rather you are given a varied number of one particular type of mushroom specific to the type of log you are searching. The add-on adds five new mushrooms to the game that are found on the logs and are offered by the game’s alchemists: 1.) Birch Conk - found on birch and redwood tree logs Cure Disease / Damage Speed / Damage Magicka / Night-Eye 2.) Heart Rot - found on maple tree logs Damage Endurance / Damage Fatigue / Damage Health / Fortify Health 3.) Pine Canker - found on pine tree logs Cure Poison / Damage Speed / Drain Strength / Resist Frost 4.) Rust Gill - found on hemlock and oak tree logs Damage Endurance / Drain Speed / Dispel / Restore Strength 5.) Silver Leaf - found on oak and scotch pine tree logs Drain Magicka / Detect Life / Fortify Luck / Reflect Spell These are “virtual” mushrooms as I don’t have the needed programs to create my own meshes, and my attempts to retexture the existing meshes turned out rather pathetic. So I used the existing mushroom ingredient meshes while using Bethesda’s treefungus01 texture to create their icons. As most players are only going to have them in their inventories for use in potions and trading they will never be seen “in-game” and this is a work around not having the needed programs/skills. But at least in the inventory screen the mushrooms will look like what was on the log. In addition, this mod adds messages to the logs’ scripts telling you when you find a sack or chest of gold, and the number of mushrooms you were able to find, or weren’t. The amount of gold in a sack will range from 1 to 100; a chest will have from 3 to 300. Finally, there is a MMM version of this addon for use with Martigen\'s Monster Mod which adds a chance that a Bush Spider will spawn out of a log in addition to a rat or fawn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Version Info: Version 1. 0: Initial release Version 1. 1: Fixed a small labeling error with the Heart Rot mushroom
