Blood Sport Readme - Version 1.02
Uber Mud Crab vs. Megataur
by mimada
UPDATE: A tweak to the layout to alleviate the bottlenecking problem between pits. Also, a match between Uber Mud Crab and Megataur. All this plus Killer Sheep. To paraphrase David Letterman: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a brutal fight to the death between massive and horrific monsters...please, no wagering.
DISCLAIMER: This plug-in is distributed as-is. It is not intended as a story enhancement for Oblivion. Rather, this is a "sandbox" for experimentation and entertainment. To make the most of this plug-in, you will need to use the Oblivion Construction Set (CS). This plug-in may be CPU/GPU intensive if you add a lot of participants. This is the "lite" version due to framerate issues. If you intend to use this in your own mod or incorporate its concept and you were inspired by it, please acknowledge me in your "readme" (TIA).
HISTORY: A friend and I were discussing the combat capabilities of various mobs (NPCs and creatures) in Oblivion. By looking at the raw numbers of their attributes (through the CS), we could tell who was strongest or fastest but we couldn't tell who would win in a fight. I built a "versus" pit to test this out. I then connected three more pits to allow entire factions to to slug it out.
INSTALLATION: Just place the .esp file in your data directory and make sure it is checked off on the data section of the Oblivion load screen. Remove (or uncheck) any previous versions.
USAGE: The entrance to the Pit O' Death is in the Imperial City Arena district. It is a sewer entrance near the platform north of the arena (NOT the platform with the two sparring NPCs). I advise you to make a save before entering. Just inside is a "Spectator's Robe". It is an uber robe with 100+ chameleon so that you can watch the combat without the pit fighters trying to engage you. If you are a low level character, please do not use the robe in your game quests as it will seriously unbalance and spoil your play (conversely, if you have no scruples about balanced game play or want to experiment, feel free to use it as you like).
This plug-in is intended for use with the Oblivion CS. The mobs are not set to respawn (Uber Mud Crab may respawn) so if you have no interest or ability to use the CS you will only be able to watch the fighting once unless you reload a prior saved game or uninstall/reinstall the plug-in. If you want to change the participants in the pit, the interior cell is called "ZZZPitODeath".I advise you to keep a backup of the original plug-in if you intend to make changes.
CAUTION: If you intend to modify the stats of mobs for experimental (or entertainment) purposes (i.e., uber mud crab vs. My Hero), please make a duplicate of the mob you wish to change. Changing the default mob will affect all mobs of its type in the game. If you do not know how to do this, please do not attempt to make changes. I accept no responsibility for saved games ruined by random tampering within the CS. You may be able to recover a saved game damaged by such tampering by uninstalling the plug-in however, there are no guarantees that this will work. Use the CS at your own risk!
NOTES: You can stir things up by casting a targeted spell at a dormant mob then running to the vicinity of a rival faction. If you are visible to the pit fighters, sometimes they will "jump" up to the observation area to attack you. If you know how to use the CS, you can add walls to seal off pits from each other. Feel free to test your mettle by jumping into the pit during a fight. There is a ladder in the main pit so you can get out. Feel free to make design changes to the pits to suit your needs. I have a personal version of this plug-in with holding cells to temporarily store mobs for easy access. I have not included this version because of possible framerate issues.
