=================================================================================

3. On the 25th of every month you will recieve a pop-up journal entry that tells you the festival has begun. You MUST be OUTSIDE bravil and the city limits of bravil in order for the festival to toggle-on (is has to do with loading stuff).

4. Enjoy the festival! There's lots of stuff to see and some of it is dependant on the time-of-day. Enjoy

***IMPORTANT***
You MUST be OUTSIDE bravil worldspace/bravil city limits in order for the festival to toggle on or off! Otherwise nothing will happen.


**********************
DETAILS && WALKTHROUGH
======================

MINI-QUESTS:

* Skooma Overdose: If you talk to Big Rig (the dark elf on the hay bail) he'll offer to do skooma with you. Follow him to the docks. If you keep encoraging him (activate\talking to him) he'll eventually overdose. If you find the nearest guard and tell them they will revive Big Rig who gives you the rest of the skooma and swears off it.

* Free the Rats: Feebi approches you when you first enter the square and asks you to free the rats. If you're sneak is better then Bhola's (greater than 65) you can steal the key from him. Otherwise you can pay him 100 gold to free the rats. Feebi will find you and raise your speechcraft +1 in thanks. INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: Once freed the rats will search for cheesewedges.


THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS:

* Deer Bait<< Bhola sells these. Once dropped in a woody area they smell will attract nearby deer. They will approach but are spooked easily. The good strategy is GO INTO SNEAK MODE, drop the bait, retreat back a little ways and use the bow zoom to nab them as they come to investigate. Sometimes the deer WILL eat the bait so you may have to buy more. Try to shoot them before they reach it. Sometimes this method will attract large numbers of deer (I got 5 to show up at the same time!).

* Get Drunk<< The nord Ignar (by the lonely suitor lodge) is drinking by the fire with his buddies. If you aggree to drink with them, they get you comepletely hammered. Your vision gets all doubled-up and sometimes you fall over. Eventually the drunken stupor wears off.

* Bet on Mudcrabs<< Bhola takes bets on his mudcrabs. You can bet 100 gold on Blue or Red crab and it's a fair chance for either one.

* Tarot Cards<< Eva the seer, has a crystal ball that can be activated pulling a random card from the major arcana. Not really a finished tarot reading or anything just a script that pulls random cards. Really a beta feature that i'll refine at some point.

* Magic Mushrooms<< Indiego Vaddel Is by the north gate behind the square. He's selling fish and flowers...AND magic mushrooms. They make your visuals go all melty for 3 minute. It looks very cool but there's a small bug when you go through loading doors the effect gets left behind. But you can always take more! :=P

* Fireworks happen every night from 10 - midnight. NPC's actually stop and watch the fireworks.

* Flower-girl throws flowers around the town. Wheezy the Janitor tries to clean it up.


There's lots of ai behaviors like the lute-player following bacchaus around or sitting with the bum who's fishing for change in the fountain. NPcs go up to the tents and browse (lean on the counter), lean on walls, use bathrooms. Rats look for cheese, count regulus shows up at the archry thing and yawns the whole time. Everyone has a midnight feast after the fireworks. The feast has a caterer who sets the table with food. Because of the limitations of the oblivion havok engine the food usually ends up on the floor, making it a rather messy feast. The Janitor guy sometimes gives up on the cleaning up the flowers and the flower-girl throws flowers all over the place.

Enjoy!





FOR IMPATIENT PEOPLE:
You can cheat and toggle the festival by pulling up the console ("~" key) make sure you're outside of bravil area
and type the following

setstage hazbravilfestivalquest 10

there will be a pop-up saying the festival is on. DO NOT CLICK IT...YET!
with the console still open type

coc bravilplaza

Now you can click continue or activate quest on the pop-up enjoy. Since we artifically trigged the festival. It will end as soon as you leave bravil.



*********
Uninstall
=========
1. Delete files

Oblivion\Data\HAZbravilfestival.esp
Oblivion\Data\HAZbravilfestival.bsa



*************
Compatibility
=============
Any mod which does not modify the inside of bruma town should be fine. The river shacks and village OUTSIDE bravil mod shouldn't affect this. Unfortunately as much as I love BananaSplit's Better Cities, I don't have the patience or time right now to make a compatibility patch. It's not out of the question though, plus someone else could do that if they so desired. (there's talented modders all over the world).

KNOWN ISSUES:
obviously the frame in bravil will drop somewhat when the festival is running. A lot of people complained that the fps dropped too low but I have a old laptop that barely runs oblivion and it still manages to run this mod okay.
Also sometimes the archers arrows are invisible. I think this has something to do with load order. Its usually fine.
