Description
===========

How to espy:
============
1. Press V.

c. A good fight: 1 to 2 more levels.
d. Same level of experience.

6. Moving will cancel espying.
Details
=======
When starting or loading a game, the game's activatable range (iActivatePickLength) is save.
When espying, iActivatePickLength (http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/IActivatePickLength) is changed to 2000.
The Activate key is disabled, so that player doesn't actually get to activate the creatures (i.e. talk to NPCs) during this time.
To keep the user-interface free flowing, the Activate key and iActivatePickLength are restored in different conditions (e.g. when the player moves the crosshairs to an item that is nearby and that can actually be activated).
Espying is cancelled when the player moves.
When cancelled, the Activate key and iActivatePicklength are restored.
Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the kuerteeEspyCreatures.esp file.
Uninstall
=========
1. Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the kuerteeEspyCreatures.esp file(s).
2. Delete the .esp, .ini and .txt file(s) associated with the mod.

Duke Patrick/Spookyfx.com/Sca built the first mod of this type a long time ago (2008?). I can't find the original file anymore.
Also, he gave me permission to release my built-from-scratch mod.

You can do whatever you want with this mod but all I ask in return is that
you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod. I would also like
to know what mods are including my work.
