Looks like a good mod. Not that I have ever been much of a herbalist in the elder scrolls series.

There are now plenty of screenshots, if your curious about what the MOD actually does.

Enjoy...

#################################################################

Release : 2006.04.03
Filename: DEJ_harvest.ESP
Filename: DEJ_harvest_Clams.ESP ( addon to make clams behave like Flora )
Author  : -Dejunai ( aka XmirroR )
Contact : dejunai[at]dejunai.com

Known Conflicts: ( see Confilt Details Below )
----------------
Vae's MOD 'Skill Based Harvest' ( skill_based_harvest.ESP )

About:
------
A simple MOD that removes or modifies the 3D Art for Flora from the
GameWorld after it has been searched for ingredients. The affect lasts
until a 'cell reset' ( which is when ingredients respawn ). It does
not in anyway affect the ingredient respawn rate set by Bethesda, or
alter the original percentage chance of aquiring ingredients.


Details:
--------
It consists of a few simple scripts, that are now attached to Flora
that did NOT already have a script attached. Currently Grape Vines,
Corn, Flax ( red/blue/yellow ), and Strawberries are using a new method
of 'Modification' to represent already havested Flora. Morning Glories
are still using the method from v0.4.

Script:
-------
The original Script Used a 'timer' variable to respawn the 3D art,
now the 3D art respawns with the cell reset ( which is when the floras'
ingredients respawn ).
===========================================================================
ScriptName DEJ_harvest

Begin OnActivate
  Activate
  Disable
End

Begin OnReset
  Enable
End
===========================================================================

Updating:
---------
Updating from a previous version of this MOD will not adversely affect your
gameplay in any known way.


Installation  : As usual just put the ESP file in your Oblivion/Data directory.
                Select the DEJ_harvest.ESP as a Data file from the Oblivion
                Launcher.

Uninstallation: Unselect the DEJ_harvest.ESP as a Data file from the Oblivion
                Launcher. Delete the ESP file from your Oblivion/Data directory.


Notes on Uninstallation:
------------------------
1. When uninstalled any currently disabled Flora will remain disabled, forever.
2. To defeat permantently disabled Flora, Wait or Sleep or Avoid Picking Flora
   for 72 (game)hours in a cell you have not picked Flora from. All Flora from
   cells that were picked/looted, will have respawned with the cell reset.And
   as such you can then uninstall the ESP.
3. Leave the ESP installed but change the script such that the line 'DISABLE'
   now reads '<semicolon>DISABLE' or ( ";Disable" ). After the next 'cell reset'
   for any given cell, all Flora will be enabled. And no art work will be disabled.

I recommend...
4. Save before testing ESP. Install ESP, test it by picking Flora in game.
 A.  Love it == Keep it.
 B.  Hate it == Uninstall it, restore save.


Changes :
---------
v0.1 Script attached to Only Flora, respawn set to 35 Days.
v0.2 Script polished, Respawn changed to 3 Days, Attached to Clams.
v0.3 Script rewritten to use 'OnReset' Function for Flora.
     Script removed from Clams.
     New Script specific to Clams. Built as seperate ESP.
     There are two test Flora Objects
     1. A Grape Vine at Surilie Vineyard,
        will not remove the vine, just the grapes from the vine.
        See ScreenShot @ Removed
     2. A Morning Glory Vine near the Skingrad East Gate,
        will not remove the vine, just the blossoms from the vine.
        See Screenshot @ Removed
v0.4 Seperate scripts added to Grape Vines, and each of the [4] Morning
     Glory types. This defeats the entire removal of the plant, and only
     removes the grapes from the grape vines, and the blossoms from the
     Morning Glories. The Clam script has been updated to now include the
     original sound effect of opening a clam. ( it is still an optional addon )
v0.5 Developed new method for 'modifying' the Flora to represent an already
     harvested plant. Applied this method to Grape Vines, and added Flax,
     Corn and Strawberries.
     Screenshots available @ http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2037
     


Future:
-------
Assuming there are no complaints about the new method of 'Modifying' the
Flora to 'Harvested Meshes', Future releases will continue to add more and
more 'Modified' Flora.

I may (read will) someday develop a more robust Harvest MOD, Setting the ingredient
respawn rates myself ( independent of cell resets ) and base it on this script.
I plan to require tools/skill and such for proper pruning of plants ( they will respawn
more quickly ). And the antithesis... Improper pruning would result in Longer or
worst case, NO respawn.

The clam addon will likely spin-off into a seperate MOD, something like
'Less Silly Containers' where clams aren't containers, and similarly Ore Veins.
Just doesn't make sense that You can store all you possesions inside a clam,
or an Ore Vein. I'll be working on Ore Veins a little more soon. I'd like to
make it so that if you DONT have a pick axe in inventory you break off the
1 or 2 nuggets you would get as Bethesda designed it. However if you DO have
a pickaxe in inventory, you might see a substanially better return from the
ore vein. Similarly clams might require a knife. The 'Less Silly Containers'
at this point is just an idea. And will never affect this 'Harvest' MOD.

I was also thinking skeletal remains that only have 'BoneMeal' should disappear
in some sort of animation where they crumble into dust skipping the Container
Menu, and auto adding the 'BoneMeal' to inventory ( just a thought )...

Confilt Details:
----------------
Vae's MOD 'Skill Based Harvest' ( skill_based_harvest.ESP ) cannot
be used at the same time with this MOD. Using this MOD after using
Vae's MOD will eliminate the skill based harvest function entirely.
Using Vae's MOD after using this MOD will effective uninstall this
MOD, and any harvested/disabled Flora will forever be disabled.

To avoid disabled Flora when updating from this MOD to Vae's MOD,
add the following code to Vae's script.

[code]
Begin onLoad
  Enable
End
[/code]



Useage:
-------
Anyone for any reason can use this ESP in development of any MOD. Liner Note
Thanks would be nice, but are not required.

Seperate note, If you plan on writting the "Better MOD", than what I have
written, Let me know so I can go back to playing the game.
