Ash's Portable Tent
v2
12-23-09
DESCRIPTION
Most portable tent mods come either as a mystical pocket dimension that holds armouries, or as a hollow shell with a bedroll, campfire, stool, and what-have-you. Not that either of these are bad, just that it seems a bit of a hassle. This mod aims to combine the best of both worlds, bringing the convenience of a portable tent with a cell and the realism of an exterior camp set.
My tent is essentially a bedroll and a portable chest slapped into one. You place the tent, and you can now sleep or store your goods. When you pack it up, all the goods in the storage are returned to your inventory, exactly as they were put in. This is to avoid the infinate storage and weight reduction that comes with an interior style tent. But instead of forcing the player to place an entire household's worth of goods down just to camp, the user may place the tent and be done.
The tent workings are simple - to place the tent, simply drop it and you will be faced with a placer. To place the tent with the door facing you, make sure the thinner flap part is facing you. To pick the tent up once it is set, simple go into sneak mode and activate the tent. The contents of the tent's storage will be returned to your inventory, along with the packed tent.
LOCATION
I have the tent set up in the ruined fort outside Bravil. I'm not sure how the eventual opening of the nearby gate will affect the tent's location, but it should not be too big a deal.
UPDATES
Okay, I've come to list the minor things I had forgotten and fixed. First off, I forgot to untick the "Respawn" checkbox that the storage box had. I lost my stuff, and then realized my dreadful mistake. I'm terribly sorry to any who befell the same fate.
On a good note, though, I did update the tent's functionality slightly. Instead of having an extra option in the message box menu, I've made it so that the player must sneak to pick up the tent. This is something I wanted to do in the first place, forgot about, and then fixed when I accidentally picked up the tent and dumped ~400 weight units upon myself, leaving me stranded and my packhorse too far away. >.
Aside from that, the tent's functionality is the same The only other thing is a much friendlier tent placer - you can predict where the tent door is going to face. It will face the same way as the little flap hanging off the roll faces. Much nicer, I promise.
UPDATING FROM AN OLDER VERSION
To update the tent from an older version, simply pick up the tent. In my experience, changing ESPs did not take away your tent and stuff, but I'd still want to be on the safe side. Pick the tent up, make sure you have your goods, save and quit and install the mod. You do need to reinstall the meshes, as I've added a new placer mesh.That should do it.
USAGE
This mod uses mostly vanilla resources (the tent is simply a couple vanilla models combined in Nifscope) and basic scripts. Thus, use my mod as you wish. I would ask that credit would be given, but it's not mandatory.
