Usable Kegstands Lua dynamically transforms the decorative kegstands scattered across Morrowind into fully interactive, lore-friendly drink stations. This lightweight OpenMW-exclusive mod allows players to drink, even steal from, kegstands found in most taverns: bringing immersion and function to an otherwise overlooked piece of decor..
Part of the May Modathon Month 2025

Installation
Requirements:
    OpenMW 0.49.0 or higher

Steps:
    Download the Mod Files: Obtain the mod files from the Nexus Mod Manager.
    Extract the Files: Extract the downloaded files into your OpenMW Data Files directory.
    Modify openmw.cfg: Add the following lines to your openmw.cfg file:

    data="path/to/your/extracted/files"

    Activate the Mod: Open the OpenMW Launcher, navigate to Data Files, and ensure usable-kegstands-lua.omwscripts is checked.

How to Play:
After installing this mod, Kegstands found across Vvardafnel are dynamically replaced with dynamic, usable ones. Each kegstand has a random alcohol contained within it, and a random type of drink (Sujamma, Cyrodillic Brandy, etc.)
To use a keg, simply walk up to it and activate it while carrying an empty bottle or cup in your inventory. If you are sneaking, you may attempt to steal a drink unnoticed. If you are not sneaking or are caught in the act, you will instead purchase a drink - paying the closest witness to you in exchange for a pint.
The result depends on your proximity to NPCs, visibility, sneak skill, and active effects like Chameleon. Being seen during a theft attempt triggers a crime, unless you remain perfectly hidden.

To test if this mod is installed, check the kegs in the basement of the Census and Excise Office in Seyda Neen.

Compatibility:
Incompatible with anything that entirely replaces the keg asset, such as Keg Drip.
Compatible with graphics-only mods that replace the kegstand asset.
Compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt.
Should be compatible with most vanilla-friendly mods.
