================== REAL HUNGER V1.5.5 =====================

Author:Dominic Watson, edited and updated by Thingamajig, then by Cipscis
Date: 19th November 2006
Description: If you don't eat, you get hungry!

=================== FEATURES ============================


* Level of hunger is unlimited (0=Stuffed -> inf=somewhat hungry). So in theory, if you were a God, you wouldn't need to eat.

* When you view the stats menu, a message appears displaying how much food you need to be fully stuffed.

* When you get hungry, you will hear grumbling noises to tell you that you need food. If you want messages to display as well as hearing the sounds, open the console (by pressing the "`" button, next to the 1 on your keyboard) and type "set RHShowMessages to 1" (without quotes). The messages can be turned back off by typing "set RHShowMessages to 0" (without quotes) into the console.

* While your stomach is grumbling, enemies will find it easier to detect you. This can be turned off by opening the console (by pressing the "`" button, next to the 1 on your keyboard) and type "set RHSneak to 0" (without quotes). It can then be turned back on by typing "set RHSneak to 1" (without quotes).

* The following stats are effected by hunger: Agility, Endurance, Strength, Willpower & Personality.
Health & fatigue are not directly effected but your max health and fatigue will diminish as your stats are drained.

* Every player can go without food for 10% of their endurance level (in hours), after that, hunger will increase around 1pt per hour unless your character is sleeping or waiting, in which case they will get hungry 1pt every two hours if they're sleeping, and 4pt every three hours if they're waiting. To change this, open the console (by pressing the "`" button, next to the 1 on your keyboard) and type "set RHSleepMult to x" (without quotes), where x is the factor by which you want your hunger to increase while you sleep/wait. For example, if you want it to be as fast as when awake, you would type "set RHSleepMult to 1", if you want it to be half as fast, you would type "set RHSleepMult to 0.5" etc. etc. The same is true for waiting, but the variable is called RHWaitMult.

* In the "Original Alchemy Edition" esp files, hunger is restored when eating using a script as opposed to a script effect. It is thus no longer possible to make Restore Hunger potions by mixing different food items, however all food items now have their original alchemy effects. If you use to Classic version, food items will restore your hunger with a new alchemy effect (which replaces their default effect, enabling restore hunger potions to be made but making restore fatigue and restore health potions more difficult to make due to rarity of ingredients)

* Different foods will restore hunger at a lesser or greater level. The list is as follows:

=====================INSTALLATION==========================

Most importantly, if you are upgrading from a previous version of Real Hunger: Uninstall the old version before you activate the new version! (See instructions below).

As sounds don't change between releases, they have been uploaded as a separate file to download. If your Real Hunger download doesn't contain the Sounds folder (if you're downloading the latest version it won't) please also download the "Sounds" file.

To install, extract the sounds folder and .esp files into your Oblivon\Data directory (C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data by default)
There are 4 different plugin files to choose from, you will use only 1 of these. This is what they do:

The "Original Alchemy Edition" plugin retain the original alchemical properties of all the food items, and includes Nirnroot.

To use the "Original Alchemy Edition" plugin with MMM, load the "RH 1.5.5 Original Alchemy Edition MMM Patch.esp" plugin after "RH 1.5.5 - Original Alchemy Edition.esp"

The "Classic" plugins give all food items a new alchemical effect, and does not include Nirnroot.

=====================UNINSTALLATION=====================

First, eat until you are stuffed (if you don't then you risk permanent stat damage). Then, simply uncheck the .esp file that you were using. No files need to be deleted to uninstall this Mod.

In versions from 1.5.3 onwards, you should be able to simply type "set RHRepair to 1" into the console in order to "wipe clean" any stat damages Real Hunger has dealt to your character, so you can safely uninstall.

=======================CHANGE LOG======================
---------UPDATE 1.5.4 -> 1.5.5
*Fixed a bug where your stomach would grumble when you exited the wait/sleep menu, even if you hadn't waited/slept (the noises still play if you have waited/slept)
*Whether or not messages display along with grumble sounds is now customisable within plugins (main reason for this was to make updating easier, as the script that is most updated is now shared by all plugins, except for one line)
*Fixed a bug where breaking out of jail would have the same effect on your hunger as serving your time
*Hunger increases at a customisable rate while waiting (which is different to sleeping)
*Original Alchemy Edition now standalone, with separate patch for use with MMM

---------UPDATE 1.5.3 -> 1.5.4
*Script partially re-written to make further updates easier to perform on many plugins
*Stealth script partially re-written to fix and potential bugs

---------UPDATE 1.5.2 -> 1.5.3
*Changes made to messages
*When your stomach is grumbling it will be easier for enemies to detect you
*Bugs with SI items (if they existed) should be fixed
*Nirnroot plant script is no longer affected
*When sleeping of waiting, your hunger will now increase half as fast as normal by default. This is still customisable
*Included Uninstallation variable for easy uninstallation

*Sneak damage from grumbling sounds can be disabled
*Uninstallation variable should work for Classic plugins without needing to go into the journal

---------UPDATE 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2

*Performing Alchemy with food items will no longer cause you to become less hungry
*Food items now have their alchemy effects in the correct order
*There may be some bugs with SI items

---------UPDATE 1.5 -> 1.5.1

*Fixed some broken quests (scripts were previously overwritten, all these quests should work properly with 1.5.1), Real Hunger 1.5.1 Original Alchemy Edition will now allow Restore Hunger potions to work if they are left in the character's inventory from changing from classic Real Hunger to the Original Alchemy Edition.

---------UPDATE 1.4 -> 1.5 Original Alchemy Edition

*Hunger is now done entirely by script, so all foods now have their original alchemy effects. This means, however, that restore hunger potions can no longer be made (if you don't like this I suggest downloading version 1.4). Nirnroot is now also a 1 unit food item (the quest should still work fine).

---------UPDATE 1.4 -> 1.5

*When sleeping or waiting, your hunger will no longer increase. If you want your hunger to increase while you sleep or wait, open the console (by pressing the "`" button, next to the 1 on your keyboard) and type "set RHSleepMult to x" (without quotes), where x is the factor by which you want your hunger to increase while you sleep/wait. For example, if you want it to be as fast as when awake, you would type "set RHSleepMult to 0", if you want it to be have as fast, you would type "set RHSleepMult to 0.5" etc. etc.

---------UPDATE 1.4 -> 1.4 With Grumble Sounds

*Added immersive "tummy rumbling" sounds as an indication of hunger

---------UPDATE 1.4 -> 1.4 NO-MMM

*Removed MMM dependency and references to MMM foods.

---------UPDATE 1.3 -> 1.4

*Added hunger effects to all --but one-- of the "food" classed ingredients in the game, that includes the Shivering Isles ingredients, as well as the new meats from Martigens Monster Mod (MMM, ver 2.0.1), the one ingredient i didn't add the hunger effects to was Nirnroot (yes, beth classed this as a "food" ingredient), as its a quest ingredient and i didn't want it to screw up the quest(s) that involved it.

*Also changed a few of the foods "unit level" to a more realistic one, these are: Watermelon, Mutton, Boar Meat, and Beef

--------- UPDATE 1.2 -> 1.3

* Fixed bug that enabled NPCs to eat for you. Credit to PS33 on ElderScrolls forum.

--------- UPDATE 1.1 -> 1.2

* Really Fixed stat drain bug.

--------- UPDATE 1.0 -> 1.1

* Fixed stat drain bug. Stats were not being refreshed after eating! They are now.

Once again, this readme is practically a copy of the original, with small additions to make it up to speed with version 1.5.5 of Real Hunger
