Ambience and Environment
*****************************
RfCIP Awakening Integration and RfCIP Awakening Mechanics Resources (from RfCIP for RtF) includes awakening herbs (and other placeables), and stamina draughts available by containers herb or otherwise. Additional custom placeable Deep Mushroom (Spider Corpse Variant) model included; from and compatible with Deep Mushroom Resources (so you can have both Ghoul Mushroom variant and Spider Corpse Variant) with Shanamah's permission (you do not have to download the mod, but you should it is great). Also this same model is used as a replacement for Corrupted Spider corpses (APR_base_spider_corr file), it only affects models of corrupted spiders and if you have mods that conflict you can delete it.

NPC plot continuity, for example ambient NPCs added to Mage Origin with the mages form Mage's Asunder from the Fade (as well as their corresponding dead or "unconscious" bodies in the Circle Tower) during Broken Circle. As well as the previously dead bodies turned ambient NPCs for Mage Origin. Some examples (see Ambience and Environment Article for full list):

Spoiler:  
Show

  • Ambient Animals, many ambient animals have been added especially in Lothering. Including, more ambient Halla; which is even better if you have/use Updated Halla. I tried to make the Halla in better numbers to accommodate the Aravels (two Halla per Aravel), but of course taking into account the werewolf attack and them losing a portion of their herd for Zathrian's clan. 
  • Blood Mages, from Broken Circle are also added to the Mages Origin as suspicious ambients (some even conveniently witnessing Jowan's blood magic).
  • Dwarves, various ambient dwarves from both Dwarf Commoner and Dwarf Noble Origins are now in Orzammar for Paragon of her Kind. Some show upon arrival and other triggered from plot progression.
  • Mages, from Broken Circle either as dead bodies or seen Mage's Asunder from the Fade, are added to the Mage Origin. Also, the Mage's Asunder from the Fade bodies (dead or unconscious) are now in the tower during Broken Circle.
  • Templars, from Broken Circle seen in the Fade are both added in Mage Origins and as bodies (dead or unconscious) for Broken Circle. Also, restored generic templar (multiples added) with interaction dialogue has been added to Mage Origin.  
  • Wisps, during the fade harrowing two neutral Wisps have been added. The area map actually already has their waypoint paths but must have been cut content since they aren't in the game. Sadly, one waypoint path seems to have a block so one Wisp stops after following it's path, so it has been set to a random wander. The other will continuously follow it's path. 

Interactive and non-interactive clutter and decor. Some strange items have been added to the game with unusually properties. Mouseholes containing lesser stamina draught, awakening herbs, an apparatus that refills mages mana and more containers to pilfer your surroundings. If you have opted out of RfCIP Awakening Integration and RfCIP Awakening Mechanics Resources some of the containers will just not provide the items but still have clutter or not show up. Also, many props turned placeables; including recolours because without most are are overly bright even more than traditional placeables (but many are only party converted they still can't be interactive with), for even more decor. Examples of unique and special placeables (see Area Lists for alternate list(s)):

Spoiler:  
Show

  • Apparatus, mostly for ambience and has same use as Lyrium Veins from the fade. Found in the Circle of Magi Tower and a couple other areas.
  • Blood Lotus, Madcap and Rashvine, found randomly in various outdoor locations. They aren't set for autoloot sadly, issues with scripting items that do not have matching tags.
  • Circle Supplies and Apprentice's Footlocker, invisible containers located in and near the models of supply and storage units with TS Circle tables.
  • Combat Dummies, some combat dummies have been added that give Combat Training skills.
  • Deathroot Flower, another herb container that holds Deathroot.
  • Deep Mushroom Variant, another herb container that holds Deep Mushrooms.
  • Flesh Pods, a cut content container restored. Found in the Circle Tower with TS Circle tables.
  • Jars, containers that hold health poultices of various potencies, found randomly—usually in various indoor locations.
  • Healing Vases, containing Shimmering Orb of Light are now available in the Fade: Lost in Dreams and removed after Sloth is defeated. 
  • Locksmith's Tools, learn lockpicking and become a hidden rogue. Places the plot item Locksmith's Tools in inventory, as a form of continuity to why you can unlock. Available at all Origins (except mage) and at Ostagar.
  • Lyrium Sand, found in caves contains a large stack of Lyrium Dust (and small stack of Lyrium Sand if you use this mod).
  • Lyrium Vials, invisible container meant to be overlapped with a non-interactive prop or lyrium vials.
  • Mouseholes, found in villages and unkempt city locations. They contain lesser stamina draught; collected by the crafty little rodents.
  • Party Camp Upgrades, as Dog, Oghren, Wynne and Zevran join your party—decor and some containers will spawn. Some decor will depend on plot progress, specializations (including what you have and don't have) and choices.
  • Pile of Ore which contains Meteor Metal Ore, model was replaced, previously game used trash pile, replaced with Silverite Node from Awakening.
  • Shelved Reagents and Stored Reagents, invisible containers located in and near the models of shelving and storage units. Two to three reagents per container, some guaranteed items and some TS Stone tables.
  • Smuggled Contraband and Smuggled Goods, found usually in questionable locations with TS Antivan and TS Tevinter tables.
  • Stack of Sovereigns, 5 gold sovereigns in a coin stack container.
  • Storage Organization, this mod includes my Storage Organization feature (adds three new containers in party camp for storage), so if you had it from my other mod use this one and delete that one. Or you will get it in duplicates, and this mods version is updated.
  • The Black Vials, this mod includes my Black Vials swap out, so if you had it from my other mod use this one and delete that one. Or you will get it in duplicates, and this mods version is updated.
  • The Tower of Ishal (Fourth Floor), a transition door that skips level 1-3 and goes straight to level 4. You are awarded the codex The History of the Chantry: Chapter 1 you would have gotten, the Silver Bracelet gift, Warpaint of the Wolfhound kaddis, 50 silver and 3,000xp to party. But if you want to opt out simply delete Ishal Tower Skip folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc)
  • Wilhelm's House, a transition door added in Redcliffe Village, so you can follow part of the original (and cut) Shale storyline. A new area map of the house will be available and various plot items and dialogues will now open. It isn't exactly cannon, and not the intended complete version (but edited so flagged complete after you find it), but it is a fun small side mission to try. But if you want to opt out simply delete Redcliffe Side Quest folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc).

Body Cleanup, in some areas where you think bodies would be cleaned up after some time will be. When using mods that have "No Corpse Decay" bodies, in certain areas they tend to pile up like Orzammar. Where they would be cleanup up eventually, and now they will be depending on triggers, progressions and how many times you load or re-enter the area. Some bodies will take longer to remove since the developers tend to use the same tags on mobs and the script will only take one at a time. At this time only some areas and some bodies will have this, some bodies are easier to cleanup than others. I use preexisting plot triggers, so if there isn't an easy/direct trigger, I do not want to use it in case they haven't died/been killed yet.

Hostiles, custom hostiles such as Swashbucklers (Normal and Lieutenant, Duelist Spec), Orlesian Assassins (Boss, Assassin Spec), etc. have been made, but other core creatures such are humanoid, beasts, etc. are also used. Some are mixed in as opportunists with existing ambushes, and some are secluded/separate, but they may be stealthed so do run too far when in battle you might drag more enemies. They are not added too close to "meant to be" friendly NPCs areas, nor on top of entrance waypoints. It can be opted out of easily; by deleting the Hostile Creatures by Location folder. Some examples (see Ambience and Environment Article for full list):

Spoiler:  
Show

  • Black Bears, added to the Korcari Wilds.
  • Black Bear Mother, boss added and triggered with the Lothering Black Bears quest.
  • Deep Stalkers, more added to the Basement during Mage Origin.
  • Ghostly Arcane Warriors, added to the Lower Ruins.
  • Giant Spiders, more added to the Storage Caves during Mage Origin.
  • Maleficar, boss added, triggered after the campsite illusion is discovered (re-load of the area may be needed).
  • Orlesian Assassins, female wearing Harlequin's Motley (LF), assassin specialization and boss. Found in various Denerim locations. 
  • Spider Queen, boss added to Ruins Upper Level in the Brecilian Ruins.
  • Swashbucklers, male (tmp7704 light DA armor) and female (Isabela outfit), duelist spec both normal and lieutenant. Found in various Denerim locations; smuggling contraband and goods. 
  • Wolf Pack, various ranks added to the Brecilian Forest and triggered after the Nature of the Beast main plot is complete. Located near the Grand Oak.

Scripts and Misc folder is more or less the optional(s) folder. It has the The Tower of Ishal (Fourth Floor) and Wilhelm's House transition doors as mentioned but there are a few other scripts in there as well:

Spoiler:  
Show
  • Add Grey Warden gear into inventory and redresses the Warden upon arriving Ostagar, previously the warden armor was in Alistair's inventory. Grey Warden Robes for mages and Gray Warden Armor for rogues and warriors. To opt out simply delete Ostagar Redress folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc). 
  • The Tower of Ishal (Fourth Floor), a transition door that skips level 1-3 and goes straight to level 4. You are awarded the codex The History of the Chantry: Chapter 1 you would have gotten, the Silver Bracelet gift, Warpaint of the Wolfhound kaddis, 50 silver and 3,000xp to party. But if you want to opt out simply delete Ishal Tower Skip folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc)
  • Skip Loghain's cutscenes (1, 2 and 3) after prelude. I find it terribly annoying when you change the MORs and redress and the cutscenes are vanilla. It goes straight to the Dog's cutscene instead. This also fast tracks Zevran to be obtained after Lothering. To opt out simply delete Skip Loghain Cutscenes folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc).
  • Wilhelm's House, a transition door in Redcliffe Village is now interactive, so you can follow part of the original (and cut) Shale storyline. A new area map of the house will be available and various plot items and dialogues will now open. It isn't exactly cannon, and not the intended complete version (but edited so flagged complete after you find it), but it is a fun small side mission to try. But if you want to opt out simply delete Redcliffe Side Quest folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc).
  • Corrupted Spider Corpses, gives the DAI Deep Mushroom model as the spider skeleton for Corrupted Spiders. To opt out simply delete Corrupted Spider Corpses folder (Ambience and Environment\Scripts and Misc). 

Disclaimer:
Some triggers may have to be confirmed by users/players. Sadly, I have limited game files I lost all a while ago and only have one complete run-through and I tend to play my games pretty much the same way. I have tested to make sure the placeables/NPCs spawn, but not with the triggers in place. I will provide a list and if users/player can let me know on the unconfirmed that would be very helpful.

If you are wondering why some areas have been left out, note that some areas cannot be scripted into. Sub-areas to Area List areas; like all the buildings within Redcliffe Village, but the Redcliffe itself can be. At least to the knowledge of various well versed scripters. Scripting just has it's limitations.

Lastly, do not be surprised if I update—adding even more. At this time some areas are just getting more attention then others. Either by what is inspiring me or because it is a favoured part of the game for me. For example, I got very inspired for Lothering, and really, I usually fast track and not care about it—but I keep getting more ideas. Or Mage Origin/Broken Circle because I always play mages and got focused on the continuity.

Area Lists
***********
List of each area (approx. 110+) where, and what type scripts (approx. 140+) have been used.

Some areas may also have a destroy object script or dead (kill) NPCs script. Also note, the below may all be listed as plurals but there can be as little as one.

Some of the Mages are from the original Dead Mages in the Tower during Broken Circle or Fade: Mage Asunder. Technically, one apprentice mage MOR is one of the servants of the fade, but I made her a cleaning apprentice mage to make up for it.
  • The Fade, Wisp x2, the area map actually already has their waypoint paths but must have been cut content since they aren't in the game. Sadly, one waypoint path seems to have a block so one Wisp stops after following it's path, so it has been set to a random wander. The other will continuously follow it's path.

  • Roadside (Highway Mages), Raven x3

**************
Hostiles List
**************
Some are amongst other monster mobs and some on their own. Normal rank unless otherwise indicated. This is more apart of the NPC extension, if you are wondering why this seems less content compared to the other parts of the expansion. But kept separate for those who do not want added difficulty to their game, so that it can be opted out of easily. Also note that these hostiles are intended for those who use no corpse decay mods, or else some of them will keep spawning with each load or re-entry of the area.

v2.0 Updates
**************
Ostagar Redress Script:
This will now script in Warden's Keep DLC gear Warden Scout Armor Set and Studded Warden Helmet, instead of the premium+. It is usually unobtainable gear. Mages will also get Warden Apprentice Robes and Enchanter Cowl. This is official content gear from Warden's Keep, but if used with my Warden's Keep replacements it will look like the below. Note the example also has new Alistair, Daveth and Jory redresses also in the next update for Appearance and Equipment.



Lists of Fixes:
In the next update of Ambience and Environment there are several minor fixes.

  • Mage Origin, Spider Caves, one of the Spider will be rotated 180 degrees.
  • Mage Origin, the 3 talking ambient mages (the eventual blood mages), will not be casually talking while Jowan just preformed blood magic.
  • Ostagar, Combat Dummy was spawned twice by error, this will be reduced to one.
  • Ostagar, Combat Dummy, should not appear if you are a Warrior and thus already have Combat Training.
  • Ostagar, Locksmith Tools, should not appear if you already have Deft Hands.
  • Party Camp, Dalish Origin decor will be moved to accommodate the new map's location.
  • Wilhelm's House, a transition door in Redcliffe Village is now interactive—before another one was added.

Mabari Dominance Added:
The Attack at Nightfall will now have the Landmark tree for Mabari Dominance.

Source Files Added:
The .nss source files have been added for personalization, if you need to move an object. You will need to have some Toolset knowledge and recompile the scripts to .ncs. Please do not republish as your own work.
