1.a About the Mod
----------------------------------------

VERY FRIENDLY WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! - IF YOU HAVE ANY EQUIPMENT OR ANYTHING ELSE IN THE NON-RESPAWNING CONTAINERS IN BROMJUNAAR SANCTUARY PLEASE REMOVE ALL OF IT BEFORE YOU ACTIVATE THIS MOD. ALL STORAGE HAS BEEN CHANGED SO YOUR STUFF WILL GO BYE-BYE IF YOU DON'T. THE MASK HOLDER WAS NOT TOUCHED AT ALL AND SHOULD BE SAFE. IF YOU FORGET TO DO THIS YOU WILL HAVE TO REVERT TO AN EARLIER SAVE WITHOUT THIS MOD ACTIVE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AND I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY WHINING ABOUT THAT. NUFF SAID.

EXTRA IMPORTANT - Don't put the mask or ring on in the sanctuary because that will reset your teleport back to the Sanctuary. The mask and ring WILL NOT work if you are really close to the ruined dragon mask alter at Labyrithian.

About BCSS - Well...this is primarily in response to a request on the Forums that I agreed with. I always thought Bromjunaar Sanctuary had a lot of potential for expansion but was flawed in that you could only visit it if you were standing in that Nordic Hovel at Labyrinthian. So...after the Creation Kit came out I decided to take a whack at fixing the drawbacks and add a teleport from anywhere function. This is the result.

You will find all crafting areas as well as plenty of named storage locations to keep your stuff organized. At the moment you can't get to or leave the sanctuary any other way than with the Wooden Mask (and coc of course).

I tried to add a book written in Falmer but it didn't work....so enjoy the twisted alternate lore that is not written in Falmer.

Added a bedroom area in same cell and some special areas that will be fixed up as I go.

Added some eye-candy.

Reworked the cells.

Added a Ring with the same functionality as the Mask that uses a totally different script references so you can potentially create two different teleport back-to locations.

The false floor in the vault is a mod FEATURE not a bug.

------------------------------------
1.d
------------------------------------

I don't use the Nexus Mod Manager so you'll have to look at the directory structure of the archive and react accordingly. I did go ahead and make the file structure start out with STEAM so wherever that folder is you should be able to just drop it there. This mod will overwrite the Wooden Mask script pcx so you will get an overwrite error. I also included my source text file for anyone to look at. Just say YES to any overwrites so that the new Wooden Mask script to be active in your game.


------------------------------------
1.e Bugs/Glitches/Conflicts
------------------------------------

To make the Mask work as a kind of Mark & Recal Dimensional Portal, I had to make it so it wouldn't work if you are within 128 units of the OLD Labyrinthian static marker. So.....the FIRST time you find the mask....(Partial Spoiler Here) if you try to use it right away....it may not work. But....IF you walk away a bit....it will start working again. That should have been what happened anyway.....kinda of a surprize. =)

The second problem is that it is a magic effect that ends when you take off the mask......and when you take off the mask.....you teleport back to where you came from. Going to look at that and make it specific to exactly where you are.

Finally, players were never supposed to go past that first door. Now you can....but I modded it so the two actual exits will just lead you back to the sanctuary for right now. The auto load doors that I'm using are causing me fits but they do work as intended. You just get the travel flag in wierd places. I plan to add content in that direction later....depending upon reported bugs and my wife's temper.

This mod will conflict with any mod that modifies the LabrythianPriestSanctuary cell or the
DunLabyrinthianWoodenMaskSCRIPT.

It is not compatible with the mod Bromjunaar and the Wooden Mask mod that was just uploaded on 13 Februrary 2012:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9001&navtag=file/images.php?id=9001&tab=3

It is not compatible with the mod Bromjunaar Extended that was just uploaded on 14 February 2012:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9572

NMM may not install the scripts properly. If the ring does not work.....check to make sure its script is in the proper place.

The floor in the vault is supposed to let you fall through if you don't step on the dragon tiles. It's a security feature. =)

One bug report of the Dragon Head not opening once all masks are placed seems unrepeatable and it is believed not to be caused by this mod.

-------------------------------------
1.d Future Plans

Making the sanctuary follower friendly is the next logical step. I'm pretty sure I can add a check for NPC's in the same cell as you with the follower package & faction. All that's needed is to grab their ref and MOVETO the player (After a quick disable/enable with a wait in between I'm sure.)

Expanding the sanctuary would be nice. I've thought of making the exterior area useable by dropping some ground meshes but as it stand now the sanctuary is in an interior cell that has high walls on three sides.

Don't know why they didn't make it its own world....that might have made things easier.

Either way additional cells or zones that can be gotten to from the first cell will be easy to do.

I'm very partial to making it a travel hub like Dovakiin Hideout started out being and the Oblivion All-in-One Basement did. If I have more luck with further scripting of the mask then I might try to port that idea over with one door and multiple destinations.

Till then.
