If I dont use TR at all, not the mod itself nor the TR asset repository, can I still use River Striders to ride them across only Vvardenfell? Apologies if this question was answered already.
Are scenic routes to the mainland Tamriel Rebuilt (24.12) no longer supported?
IMPORTANT! While extra trips are enabled by default, the routes to Tamriel Rebuilt mainland are enabled by default only if the main quest has been completed. If you want to enable mainland routes from the start, just use the included configuration menu option.
I saw this line in the readme and attempted to use menu, but I couldn't find any option to enable scenic trips to the mainland. I saw an option to "Enable extra trips" but that option is enable by default and I'm still not seeing the option to travel to Old Ebonheart from Ebonheart when talking to Sansi Andrethi.
The readme also made reference to TR_Preview.esp a few times, which is no longer a thing in newer versions of TR. So, I was wondering if the reason the config option doesn't appear is because your mod recognizes that TR_Preview.esp isn't there? Idk. It's been a while since I've installed Elder Scrolls mods.
There is detailed information for dummies in big letters about up to recent TR compatibility for Vvardenfell routes at the top of the Nexus mod description. Some readmes parts are still there for the few people still reading them or still using old TR_Preview/looking for mod historical evolution.
Extra TR routes are available only if you are using a old TR compatible version and loading abotBoatsTRYYMM.esp/abotRiverStridersTRYYMM.esp /where YY = old TR release year, MM = old TR release month),
if you are loading abotBoats.esp only with more recent TR version you will only have Vvardenfell routes available + a few extra trips e.g. to Tel Fyr if enabled
I have currently no idea if Tamriel Rebuilt 24.12 did some other invasive changes impacting Vvardenfell routes, moving Gorne in the middle of the Vvardenfell Sea is probably not exactly helping compatibility but hopefully abotBoats.esp routes will not be interrupted by it. [EDIT] Gorne is still to the south, so no problems with it yet
Provided abotBoatsFirewatchPatchTR2310.esp to reset Firewatch port area to be compatible with abotBoats.esp probably will not work well with TR24.12, I may update it if needed if/when I find the energy/motivation. [EDIT] from a preliminary inspection in CS it seems abotBoatsFirewatchPatchTR2310.esp is still compatible with TR2412 thanks to Greatness7 MergeToMaster tool so try loading abotBoatsFirewatchPatchTR2310.esp after abotBoats.esp and let me know if you find problems
I saw that part but mistakenly assumed that it meant compatibility was baked into abotBoats.esp going forward instead of the routes just not being there. Thanks for the clarification.
im redownloading these mods and last i remember they worked just fine with openMW. I know he doesn't support it directly but it doesn't seem to cause any issues.
I wonder if he'll be interested in swapping to openMW when their lua advancements further the .49 nightly builds added a big step forward.
because I'm tired of having to repeat the same answer again and again? because there is a "please don't ask about OpenMW, I'm not interested in using and supporting it" written in giant font size in the mod description? User blocked.
OpenMW is compatible, I use abot's Boats and Silt Striders mods with OpenMW 0.48 and they work just fine. Actually they're compatible at least since OpenMW 0.47. I wonder why people keep asking about it.
Is it possible to make other scenic ships to appear more often? It would be also awesome if we could add scenic large ships docking to port in Ebonheart or Vivec.
Travel from Vos to Sadrith Mora colides with ship in Firewatch docks (TR22.11). After skipping rest of the journey I got dumped in Tel Aruhn. Maybe I missclicked destination.
Read the mod description [EDIT] if you are already using abotBoats.esp no idea at the moment [EDIT2] turns out TR22 changes to Firewatch area are more invasive than expected. If you are using abotBoats.esp, you could try loading this patch too, it should solve problems at least in the Firewatch Port area.
Is the patch for abotBoats.esp for TR_Mainland.esm v.2310 also needed for abotBoatsTR2101.esp? (I know it's affected by the latest TR changes, but still). Thank you.
No, TR2101 is still compatible with abotBoats.esp. But if you are still using TR2101 better to use abotBoatsTR2101.esp instead of abotBoats.esp so you can have the TR routes too
One of the best mod I've ever seen, well done abot, it's putting a lot of life and charm to the game. OpenMW officially not supported, but nevertheless I can state that so far it is working like a charm !

[EDIT] Sigh ok, revoked this last time.
No I'm not interested in OpenMW and I most likely will not be in the future

Thx abot.
