=======================
1. Brief Description
=======================

The Hunters of Skyrim is a new guild offering services to the people of the land such as contracts and hunting assignments. The story is currently work in progress and serves as a starting point, but many of the important features are already in place.

From humble beginnings the mod is started by visiting the Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun. You'll find a door in the back that leads downstairs to the Whiterun Hunting Guild Outpost. Inside there is a book on the table. Take it and your journey begins to become the greatest hunter the world has ever known.

Along your journey you'll carry out quests to obtain animal skins, hunt down animals, and slowly build the Whiterun guild outpost into something bigger. For players there are also hunting challenges to fulfil, new perks, skills and abilities to unlock, and many other cool features that add so much to the game I needed my own website.



================================
2. Installation & Compatibility
================================

For an up-to-date installation guide, visit http://www.huntinginskyrim.net/troubleshooting/installation-guide


No Perk Tree version is now available to download. Should be fully compatible with any perk changing and skill tree changing mod.

Do not run both the normal and No Perks version of the mod together. Bad things will happen.

Dialogue is currently all silent so turn on subtitles.



=========== Updating From A Previous Version ==========

If you currently use version 1.2 or 1.2.1, ensure you meet the following criteria before you update the mod:

1. You have not started any quests at all from this mod, or
2. You have completed The Great White quest.

The mod now only comes as a BSA archive version. So if you are currently using the Loose Files version of this mod, you need to completely remove and delete all files relating to this mod, including scripts, meshes, etc.

If you don't do these things before updating you will break your game.

If you currently use version 1.3 (or above), ensure you meet the following criteria before you update the mod to 1.37:

1. You do not have any active quests from this mod. Except if you're stuck on The First Of Many due to the bug in version 1.3.4.
2. You have completed all quests up to receiving your guild log book.

If you don't do these things before updating you will break your game.

1.37 is new for public release. Please backup your save before using this mod, and report any issues/bugs you come across.

=========== Updating From A Previous Version ==========


- Recommended Installation -

Many people along the way have helped me in various ways. Some helped when I was learning to code, others have allowed me to use their models or textures in my mod. A full list of credits and acknowledgements can be found here - http://www.huntinginskyrim.net/the-author-s-notes/thanks-credits

Only Skyrim patch 1.9 is supported. As is the general practice of mod usage, please remember to backup your save before using this mod.

If I am off-line and cannot be contacted for a period of 6 months or more, I give all rights and permissions for this mod to TES Alliance (tesalliance.org).

Visit the new Hunting in Skyrim Website (http://www.huntinginskyrim.net) for more details on the quests and other content this mod offers.

4. Changelog
=======================

- Mod has been cleaned with TES5Edit (and will be each update).
- Slanted wall outside of Pelagia Farm.
- Deleted pillar in the Bannered Mare.
- Fixed stair in Whiterun Guild base so actors no longer get stuck at the top. This is a bug with that stair object, in all places in Skyrim you find them... like in Breezehome.

- Removed my custom guild hall music.

Might be worth users looking into this. They play fine on this end and for the majority of my mod users.

- Fixed dialogue for upgrading the Whiterun shop to only accept Gold once, by removing the upgrade note.

- Version 1.3.6 18/02/14 -


- New Features -

� Hunting Challenge I released. Can be initiated by carrying out the first challenge once the player receives their log book.
� SKSE feature - Some stats are now viewable in the journal/general stats pause menu
� Craftable backpacks that increase carry weight; craftable at Tanning Racks. Created by TreasureChest, DVAted and Tumbajamba - Sabre Gear Backpack, and used in Hunting in Skyrim with permission.
� Alternate skinning system available, the Realistic Skinning system. New way to skin animals besides taking carcasses. The player will be able to choose either the carcass system, or realistic system for skinning pelts. Both are also optional, the player can use neither if they wish.
� In-game help system created. Offers info on different mechanics and features in this mod, help during quests (Like the first quest to find the Wolf), and also the ability to skip contract quests in the event they get stuck for whatever reason.
� Added Good, Fine, and Flawless improvements for Sabre Cat Black Pelts.
� Added more variety to the appearance of the Hunters in-game. This was due to the radiant recruitment quests the player will be able to undertake; I didn't want too many of these members to look alike.
� Due to changes to the LCharHunter levelled actor as detailed above I've added the necessary Bash tags to the mod. This will allow the levelled actor to be compatible with other mods, as long as the bashed patch includes those.
� Added new pelts for Tolls and Frost Trolls. Only available after the log book is given to the player.
� Options menu available via Path of the Woodsman, allowing the player to customise various aspects of the mod, including choosing which skinning system they want to use. An MCM menu system was not chosen so the player could chose various options and only require the base game and my mod, nothing more.
� Added new pelt; Rabbit Fur. Available from skinning/killing Rabbits after the player receives their Log Book.
� Hagraven kills now tracked.
� SKSE feature - Realistic Skinning System animation. Without SKSE after skinning the camera will default to third person. With SKSE it will remember which setting the camera was on before skinning started, force third person to skin, and put it back.
� SKSE feature - Carcass Skinning System animation. Without SKSE the animation for taking a carcass will play even if in first person, meaning the player doesn't see it. With SKSE it will remember which setting the camera was on before skinning started, force third person to skin, and put it back.
� Added support for Dawnguard creature Vale Deer for skinning systems. Vale Deer Hide value set to 20 gold as well as the ability to improve the animal skin, is only possible if you have SKSE. Stats wise a Vale Deer is counted as a regular Deer.
� Added support for Dawnguard creature Vale Sabre Cat for skinning systems. Vale Sabre Cat Hide value set to 50 gold as well as the ability to improve the animal skin, is only possible if you have SKSE. Stats wise a Vale Sabre Cat is counted as a regular Sabre Cat.
� Technically a change, however all arrows that have the keyword VendorItemArrow can now be salvaged from dead animals when using the Carcass Skinning system, not just vanilla Skyrim arrows. This will now include mod added arrows and arrows from official DLC.
� SKSE feature - Carcass weights can be increased in the mod options menu; accessed in Path of the Woodsman.
� World model for Hunting Guild Armour (Nordic Hunter Light Armor) now included, thanks to hothtrooper44, c/o Immersive Armors.
� Hunt notifications like "Deer Killed" are now optional, and can be enabled/disabled in the options menu via Path of the Woodsman. Default is on.
� Your controller will vibrate when a successful kill is made, and like notifications this can be enabled/disabled in the options menu via Path of the Woodsman. Default is off.


- Fixes -

� Added some missing crafting recipes for pelt crafting and improvements.
� Fixed carcass script to account for followers carrying carcasses for the player (not retroactive, only fixed for new instances).
� Thanks to Neodymus the script during Pelts for the People has been fixed to only take 10 total Wolf Pelts or Deer/Elk hides.
� Added hold parent locations to animal dens to allow new radiant hunt system to take effect in those locations.
� Removed unnecessary destruction data from Hunting Practice Arrows. Hopefully should fix issues with the reproccer.
� SKSE feature fix - Added better conditioning to the script that closes the inventory when taking an animal carcass. The feature presses your menu/journal key to close the menu, and sometimes this would cause the menu to fire twice.
� Edits have been made to the Goat and Horse death item levelled list, carried over from the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. The "Use All" box has been ticked.
� A lot of general housekeeping.


- Changes -

� Revamped and improved the kill tracking system.
� Improved conditions required for animals and creatures to be seen by my Stat Tracking system and Carcass Skinning system. Should hopefully catch mod added animals better; however they still need to have certain vanilla Skyrim attributes. Details for mod authors on how to make their animals work with my systems will be added to the website when update 1.3.6 is uploaded.
� Changes to Bears and Cave Bears brought over from the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. Cave Bears are now black as intended, and standard Bears are now brown as intended. All guild trophies, and animal carcasses, are changed to match. Changes are retroactive.
� Increased prices for Sabre Cat Black Pelts.
� Skinning and crafting stats are now only updated within 2 seconds of exiting the crafting menu, instead of after skinning every carcass individually. This is to improve the script speed when skinning carcasses. Also affects the Skinning Rack for improving pelts.
� Changed the animation for taking an animal carcass to be optional. Applies to both the carcass system and realistic skinning system. However the game will always fade to black for the realistic system if the animal is added by a mod.
� Trophy system no longer requires the carcass skinning system. Animal pelts can be used instead of animal carcasses.
� Power to turn on/off the skinning system removed. Customisation now available though an options menu via Path of the Woodsman.
� Removed Debug.Notification() functions from skinning and hunting kills, and replaced with Message.Show() functions. Better scripting practice, and better for mod translations.
� If the player is sneaking when they take/skin a carcass, no animation/idles will play; thus not breaking the sneak.
� Improved script for Portable Skinning Kits themselves as well as the notifications for set up and pack away times (switched from Debug.MessageBox() to Message.Show() where needed). Pack away times also now given in minutes. Both notifications are now read in the first person; "It has taken me 2 hours to set up."
� If the Carcass Skinning system is disabled, Portable Skinning Kits (the Misc Item version) won't display any messages, it will simply be added to your inventory. This is because they also serve as a skinning time bonus in the Realistic Skinning System.
� Removed the "Complete Quest" box tick for each of the stat and system management quests. There are mods that add things like auto save on complete quest, which would happen every time you skin a carcass for example. This is no longer an issue.
� Removed the notifications for pelt improvements; for now.



- Version 1.37 16/08/2015 -


- New Features -

� Trapping system.
� Perk requirements in the No Perks version altered to account for SkyRe/Perma perk changes, if the player is using SkyRe/Perma.
� New and improved models and textures for skinned animals; Deer, Elk, Horker, Mammoth, Sabre Cat and Troll.
� Users of Hunterborn will get my skinned animal effect when using the skinning system in Hunterborn.


- Fixes -

� Realistic Skinning system no longer works when the player is in werewolf form.
� Ability to improve Hunting Guild armour fixed.
� Hunting Challenge 9 now available and will begin automatically upon completing challenge 8.
� Fixed lots of papyrus log errors.


- Changes -

� The passage of time in the Realistic Skinning system is now optional and can be turned off in mod options. Default is on.
