RS - Gladiator preview v0.01 preAlpha

A pre-Alpha to give you a taste of what is to come with forthcoming RS - Gladiator. 

IMPORTANT: This MOD is MATURE only (for now). 
You WILL have nudity with it. Best to put the children to bed, before you enter the Arena. :)

If you have mod (s) that modify the Arena in any way, deactivate (all of them), or let RS - Gladiator.esp dominate the show (load it last). 
RS - Gladiator will conflict with anything else that modify the Arena. It's very stable, and playable even if this is still only a pre-Alpha. 

RS - Gladiator change some vanilla models to something other, so if you want no bugs I suggest you load it last in your load order. Mods that modify the Arena District could conflict, but I don't know that. I didn't change the district itself at all, except from replacing models for the Arena building.


To install:

 
- Drag the two files to your data folder (RS - Gladiator.esp & RS - Gladiator.bsa).

- Enable RS - Gladiator.esp in your Oblivion load order. Load it LAST to see all of it. 

- Visit the Arena. Bet on a match and, have fun.


Optional:

- Donate generously on RealSwords WACshop to help the guy I chained to the PC last year...

- email this read-me to 13 morons you hate, so they can know you now have a great mod (to be), and they dont.



Info:

- This is a release to present what I have so far and to gather more ideas and suggestions. While I know pretty much where I'm headed with the Arena and this mod, I'm still open to suggestions, if it fit.


-I'm not really looking for bug reports with this release. I know where the bugs are at the moment, and I also know how it will change later, so what may appear as bugs now may not be there in the final verson.

- The door to the right hand of Hundolin (the Bosmer at the Arena entrance) lead to an empty Arena. It's the Gladiator Combattants entrance (where you need to enter if you want to sign-up yourself). The blue Team Bloodwrok door is in there. The old door that led to the Bloodwork in vanilla is disabled as it will have another purpose, later-on.

- You can access the Blood Pit behind Ysabel in the Blue Team BloodWork, with a temporary gate door I placed there. Blood Pit is NOT finished (model and in-game set-up). You can get the feeling of it already though, and the BeastMaster is there already. Levers don't activates the prisondoors, doors model have a problem. 

- Many unfinished things in this release although you can play the arena completely without problems (I think). Several areas are left barely touched upon.


- Player matches will work as usual, althouh the armors that will be available to players are not done yet in this version. 
Yellow Team is complete though. The Blademaster schedule is gone, so you can fight day or night if you chose to. When I'm gonna bring the blue rainments, Owyn will upgrade it as you progress. But not done yet.


- If you chose to fight in the Arena already, you will face different gladiators for each Yellow Teams. 

- Be aware that the Arena is no more what you experienced before. Now a match is never the same. Chaos enter the ring with each Combattant, Challenger, Condemned, or beast. There will be more Challenger types later-on as well as another few things I have in mind.
 
- As of now the Arena is mostly unleveled with the exception of the yellow Team Combattants. Expect a hard fight if you apply in the Arena at low level and ask to fight. Go bet on a match to get the idea of what you can expect.

- Flavius (the arena smith) can sell you arena phials, powerful healing potions (at the moment it's the only thing he sell). His inventory on this is always very low. Owyn will give you some later when you win. Not done yet in this version.

- It is in my plan to lock the player in the Arena until Champion. That is not yet implemented.

- I'm in the middle of reworking the betting area of the Arena. When you enter the door after betting on a match, there will be a new door in the gambling pit to the right side. If you use it you will be able to watch the match from a different point of view. For now you can still only watch from the Blue Side. later I'll arrange the yellow side in case you bet on the yellow team.
