Volkihar Travel

Added some travel features and shortcuts to Arthmoor's "Castle Volkihar Rebuilt" mod.

-summary-

This mod is primarily aimed at those who wish to avoid fast travel as much as possible. This provides some convenience for moving around Volkihar Castle, which may become an issue once you realize the size of Volkihar Castle after clearing the castle through Arthmoor's "Castle Volkihar Rebuilt".

• What it can do -

This mod can do six things:

i- Added a shortcut between Volkihar main lobby to the docks, reducing the distance from 3 loading screens to 1.

ii- Adding dinghies to the Icewater Jetty and the front of Volkihar Castle for faster and easier access to Volkihar Port.

iii - Added a captain, Rungvald Stormchaser, to the port of Volkihar to take advantage of the longboat added by Arthmoor, allowing travel to major port cities and Solstheim.

iv - Added fast travel marker to Volkihar port.

v - Travel cost to Volkihar from other ports reduced from 500 gold to 50.

vi- Diversion of travel to other ports of arrival from Icewater Jetty to Volkihar to Volkihar port

-information-

• The boat that takes players from the Icewater Jetty and the front of Volkihar Castle to Volkihar Harbor is enabled by default. You can ignore these until later if desired.
• The dinghy that takes players from Volkihar Harbor to the Castle Front and Icewater Docks, as well as the shortcut from the docks to the Castle Hall, are disabled until the player clears the harbor via Arthmoor's "Castle Volkihar Rebuilt", at which point a lever will be displayed to activate the assets added by this mod.
• The shortcut from the Castle Hall to the Docks will be disabled until the player has cleared the passage from the Castle Hall to the Courtyard via Arthmoor's "Castle Volkihar Rebuilt", at which time the assets added by this mod will be activated when leading to the Courtyard.

-Travel from Castle Volkihar to Solsheim is disabled until the player reaches Solstheim via the Dragonborn Main Quest, or if you have already reached Solstheim via other means, you can enable the "--Solstheim Override-dialog option" in Rungvald Stormchaser. I strongly recommend that you do not have Solstheim travel from Volkihar until the player has traveled there via Gjalund's ship in Windhelm. This is to avoid unnecessary issues with scripting etc. in the DLC.

-Planned-

-Added sounds for Rungvald Stormchaser

-Requirements and installation-

"Volkihar Castle Reconstruction" in Arthmoor is needed

-----

Install via MO or NMM using the "Download with Manager" button under the Files section.

Install manually by moving the contents of VolkiharTravel.rar into the Skyrim Data folder.

-uninstall-

WARNING: If you don't follow these steps, there will be holes in the castle.

Go to the "Volkihar Travel" MCM menu and make sure both settings there are changed to "Disabled" for proper uninstallation. These settings can only be changed after you switch the joystick to activate this mod for the first time.

Once everything looks pre-installed, you can start the installation and uninstall the mod without worrying about drafted castles.

• Known issues -

• When making a pre-saved call with the ferry resident who takes you from the main port city, the chat option for traveling to Volkihar will show that it costs 500 gold. This is just a display issue, it will still only cost 50 gold.
