📋 About This Mod

Brodual was kind enough to post a video review! Thanks! UyWNuA7h7p8 A very small mod that lets you know when you are near the borders of a hold. Versión en español aquí! Todos Aegeons granizo! Requested by daventry, may his castle never end up in a bottle. Request thread: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/832148-landscape-ouline/?p=6667902&fromsearch=1#entry6667902 1. 3 Updated Release - Bounty notifications added! This mod notifies you when you are getting close the border of a hold, and again when you actually cross that border. Optionally notifies you of any bounty you may have in the hold you have entered. That\'s all. A note on accuracy This mod relies on the Bethesda-provided location identifiers being accurate. Some of them aren\'t, and I\'m fixing them as I go. If you encounter an obviously wrong location notification, please let me know by posting! I can\'t fix it if I don\'t know about it. You should post: []The nearest named location to where you got the bad message []Where you were in relationship to it (i.e. southwest of Ragnvald, the middle of Salvius Farm, etc) []What the incorrect Hold was and what it should have been What\'s new? =========== 1. 31: Fixed misidentified Bethesda-provided locations that were causing inaccurate notifications: Wilderness cell 1,-15 (SW of Riverwood near Embershard Mine) belonged to PurewaterRunLocation, changed it to None. This was pretty clearly a mistake. HillgrundsTombLocation belonged to PaleHoldLocation, changed it to WhiterunHoldLocation. Hillgrund\'s Tomb is pretty clearly WAY south of the Pale, and it was triggering bogus notifications when crossing the Eastmarch/Whiterun border. SnaplegCaveLocation belonged to EastmarchHoldLocation, changed it to RiftHoldLocation. This one is a border case (yeah yeah) but since it\'s between two locations that are definitely in the Rift and it\'s at a much higher elevation than Eastmarch, I\'m calling it the Rift. Fixed a bug where a bounty notification would be displayed even if your bounty was 0. Special thanks to Kirilov13 here at the Nexus and SJR on Steam for pointing out the bad locations! 1. 30: Added optional bounty notifications (on by default). Several different levels of notifications have been added. Immersive (Default) - Tells you not only which hold you are nearing/entering, but how the player knows that (landmarks, weather, smells, vegetation, etc). Detailed - Tells you what hold you\'re in, and what hold you just left. Optionally, tells you which direction the border is from your location. * Basic - Minimalist notifications that tell you what hold you just entered, nothing more. When border proximity notifications are disabled, this behaves almost exactly like Oblivion\'s location system. Added the ability to turn off border proximity notifications, so you are only notified when you actually cross a
