Bug Fixes
patch
for Windhelm Lighthouse. Original mod is required.I really like the mod but it has some errors the author has been promising an update since last year but appears to have gone quiet
So I took it on myself to make a patch to address the most common errors:
Missing benches outside
Unable to move all around the beacon on top of the lighthouse due to collision issue and misplaced ladder
Oversized lighthouse fire due to replacement model(s)
Missing ladder leading up to the roof/top of the lighthouse
Deleted navmesh
Those are the errors that I encountered some people have reported others but I'm not able to reproduce those so they aren't included here.
The author is free to incorporate whatever he wishes from this mod its intended as a simple bug fix until he returns nothing more
Any improvements to this patch anyone wants to make you're free to reuse the assets in this patch for that purpose. This mod is esl flagged.
Notes:
Added a vanilla trapdoor ladder model as I couldn't get the custom model to fit
Retextured a farm bench to sit on the dock its the right size learnt a bit about reskinning models so that was fun
Resized the collision objects for brazier stack as it was obstructing close movement around it
Removed superfluous ladder that was obstructing movement on roof (left behind in error?)
Restored vanilla fire model as that fits
Undeleted the reported deleted navmesh - CK reports a few overlapping triangles but I don't think its a problem if someone wants to properly redo the navmesh feel free - most of it is still missing underwater but I can't be bothered redoing it especially as only a few slaughterfish use it
