BorderSense
A very small mod that lets you know when you are near the borders of a hold. Optionally notifies you of your bounty in that hold.
1.3 Updated Release – Bounty notifications added!
This mod notifies you when you are getting close the border of a hold, and again when you actually cross that border. Optionally notifies you of any bounty you may have in the hold you have entered.
That’s all.
A note on accuracy
This mod relies on the Bethesda-provided location identifiers being accurate. Some of them aren’t, and I’m fixing them as I go.
If you encounter an obviously wrong location notification, please let me know by posting! I can’t fix it if I don’t know about it. You should post:
The nearest named location to where you got the bad message
Where you were in relationship to it (i.e. southwest of Ragnvald, the middle of Salvius Farm, etc)
What the incorrect Hold was and what it should have been
Details
=======
This mod monitor’s the player’s location and compares it to all loaded hold locations. DOES NOT require SKSE to run, but requires SkyUI/MCM (and therefore SKSE) to use the settings page.
MCM
====
This mod uses the SkyUI MCM. Options are available to turn on directional notifications and
disable notification sound effects.
Incompatibility
===============
Unless a mod alters or destroys the vanilla Hold Locations, it should be fine.
Only works in Tamriel. Doesn’t break elsewhere, just doesn’t work.
Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Sometimes the detection will be a bit off. This due to how the game keeps track of location data. Since most wilderness cells do not have a parent location, the script tries to guess where you are by looking at nearby named locations. Usually this works fine, but sometimes a location is miscategorized, which will result in the wrong hold being displayed. I have fixed this where I’ve found it: please report any incorrect locations and include a screenshot of your map location!
Todo
====
* Alert you when a nearby NPC reports to a Hold other than the one you’re in. This is actually implemented already but disabled due to a bug.
* Add support for Dragonborn/Solstheim
* Possibly use SkyUI Widgets for notifications or bounty tracking
* Possibly improve detection of player’s location.
