Short description
Actors will flee when they start to lose a fight. You can loot NPCs that yielded by conversing with them.
Quick start
- []Step 1: Quickly read only 3 sections for now: the "Requirements" (above), the "Install" (or "Updating") and the "Uninstall" sections, all below.[/] []Step 2: Do a very quick read of available configuration settings in the "Configuring the mod" section.[/] []Step 3: Play.[/] []Step 4 (when something is wrong): Only when you think something is wrong, or when you don't understand how a feature works, should you open this document again. Also search for keywords to quickly "jump" to a possibly relevant section. It's better than reading this from top to bottom.[/] []Step 5 (when something is REALLY wrong): If you feel that something is really wrong in your game, read the "Troubleshooting", "Creating a clean save", and "Script logging" sections below. A log of your game session really helps in determining a problem and in finding solutions for it.[/]
Updates since last release (0. 806)
- 0. 81, 23 April 2015:[]Bug fix: When looting a surrendered NPCs with the "Give me..." option, their gear would sometimes disappear.[/] []Compatibility fix: Followers are never resurrected anymore. Resurrecting them caused too many bugs on them. They simply die from this version on. Make sure that they are set as essential in whichever follower mod you use.[/]
Updating
[]Simply deactivate and uninstall the previous version then install and activate this version. Note that you do not need to stop the mod in-game. If you do, you will lose your accumulated mod-specific data. Let the new version back-up the data of its old version, clean-up the old data (i.e. zero-out) by stopping itself, restart itself and restore the data of the old version.[/]
[]After the update is finished, the message "kuFOF2 v0. 81" will appear.[/]
