v1.00 - This is the very first time release.
===============
1. DESCRIPTION
===============
LIGHTNING: the eardrum-tearing thunder and extremely high voltage electric shock is enough to make a person shudder with fear.
If you can have a SWORD with such effect, it would be great, isn¡¯t it? Now you can have it in the land of Cyrodiil.
This mod adds an animated lightning sword that can be turned on and turned off as you draw and sheathe.
It also has various crisp SOUND EFFECTS depending on different actions such as:
1. drawing 2. sheathing 3. swinging 4. hitting and finally 5. carrying-a constant ¡°buzz¡±or "hum" sound while the weapon is drawn.
It is enchanted and it does approximately 50 shock damage on your enemy.
Above all, thanks to the script magic, now your COMPANION can carry the weapon with the same effect as the player!!
For example, when your companion draws the sword, the lightning column will instantly appear and you will hear the drawing sound.
The same with other actions. (except swinging - refer to limitation section for details below)
I can say it is truer to what it is supposed to be and it is purely for your immersive gaming experience.
So give it a shot and enjoy!
****Location of the Sword of Lightning****
You can find it in a cave (->very small!) at the temple of [Cloud top] where you can get the fingers of mountain spell. (Northwest of Chorrol)
Go through the stone door right behind the temple; you can't miss it.
Make sure to retrieve the swords and come back right out immediately or you might suffocate due to the smell. (You will know what I mean by that) ;-)
Refer to the screenshots for exact location.
****How to use the swords*****
There are 8 swords. You are probably wondering why there are so many. The reason is that 2 are for you.
And 6 are for your companion. There are 3 sets, 2 types (1H and 2H) each.
In your inventory, swords designated as "(C)" are for your companions.
You can give the ones with "(C1)" to your first companion. You can give "(C2)" to your second companion and so forth. They should work ok.
Even if you use "companion use only" swords, they will work fairly ok EXCEPT the annoying swing sound every time you press the left mouse click button!!!
So, don't get mixed up with that: use them "separately."
Also, if you happen to get annoyed by the background "hum" or "buzz" sound,
you can find the file SOLhum.wav in the Data\Sound\fx\SOL and simply drag and drop in the "no hum" folder and you won't hear the hum.
And of course you can always move back the file to the original location to hear it again in case you change your mind.
===============
2. Requirements
===============
This mod uses a script based on Oblivion Script Extender.
So "OBSE" is a MUST.
Any version from OBSE ver. 0010 to the latest ver. 0017b should make the sheathing and sound effects work OK.
If you don't have one, download at
http://obse.silverlock.org/download/obse_0017b.zip
And read the readme in the downloaded file and follow the instruction carefully.
(It's not that hard; and it is the script that makes the Cyrodiil more magical!! You need it!!)
NOTE: You have to start your game using OBSE, otherwise you won't hear anything and sword not turned off/on.
========================
3. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN
========================
Unzip the file into the /data folder where oblivion is installed.
Or unzip the file into a convenient location of your choice
and copy Meshes + Sound + Texture folders and Sword of Lightning with sound.esp file
and then paste them in the Data folder.
=====================
4. PLAYING THE PLUGIN
=====================
From the Oblivion Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the
name of The Sword of Lightning with sound.esp
==========================
5. UNINSTALLING THE PLUGIN
==========================
From the Oblivion Launcher, select Data Files and UNcheck the box next to the
name of Sword of Lightning with sound.esp
OR
For a clean total uninstallation, remove the following folders.
Textures\Mistro
Meshes\Mistro
Sound\fx\SOL
===============
6. SAVE GAMES
===============
This file has no known effect on save games.
=======================================
7. CONFLICTS / KNOWN ERRORS/LIMITATIONS
=======================================
Conflicts: not known
Errors: You might hear every once in a while the sheathing sound out of nowhere even if you didn¡¯t do anything.
That¡¯s probably because as the script repeats itself and when the whole cycle begins anew,
there is a glitch moment in between that disrupts the sound triggering system.
This is only my guess and there is no cure for it now.
However, I am pretty certain that you won¡¯t find it annoying or disturbing.
Now you¡¯ve got to deal with it otherwise there is always a chance to uninstall.
Limitations: When your companion swings his/her sword, you won¡¯t hear the same swinging sound as the player makes.
It is very hard to find a script that does that. It¡¯s not an error. It was designed to be like that for now.
I¡¯ve got a lot to learn in Oblivion script. So please be gentle and encouraging when commenting.
Please let me know any other conflicts and errors.
