As many of you may agree, the Ranger Tent by Dongle is far and away one of the most useful mods in all
of Morrowind.  For versatility, it surpasses any house mod; for elegance and simplicity, it is superb.
Even with all of his wonderful scripts for display cases and mannequins, his housing and ship mods,
weapons, and so on, I, personally feel that the Ranger Tent was nothing less than a stroke of genius!

What could be better?  Well...that's what this mod is all about.

You see, there are other "Portable House" mods out there that can do things the Ranger Tent cannot.

For example...one portable Yurt allows you to take companions inside the tent with you.  I have a few
companions...in fact, I run with Fliggerty's Slave Mod installed, and my cat--or, rather--my Khajiit,
T'sutfi, has decided that owning slaves is, shall we say it: "Poetic justice."  Currently, he owns
an Altimer, a Bosmer, a Redguard, an Imperial, a Breton, and two other Khajiit, and he's hoping to get
his hands on a Dunmer or twenty......

Also, there are "Outside" areas that...well, aren't really outside.  Like Mournhold.  Luckily one of
the "Portible Home" mods could be erected in Mournhold.  Unluckily, Dongle's Ranger Tent wasn't one of
them.

UNTIL TODAY!

I, The SASS Man, have corrected BOTH of these shortcomings.  And I've done it to the coolest portable
home in all of Morrowind!

Introducing "The Ranger Tent Advanced Scripts."

Simply enable this mod, along with Dongle's Ranger Tent, and you'll be able to set up yuor tent in
either the Plaza Brindizi Dorum or the Temple Courtyard in Mournhold.

Furthermore, you'll be able to invite any of your travelling companions - including that awesome "Pack
Rat" from the Mournhold Great Bazaar - into your tent with you!

And talk about portability: Once inside the tent, you can pack 'em away, and jog across Morrowind,
Mournhold, Solsteim, or even Tamriel Rebuilt, and set up your tent in a faraway land....

...your companions will stay safe and sound inside the space, ready to join you at your new campsite!

Many thanks go out to the people who helped with this--although you may not know you were helping,
lol...I mostly Googled the questions I had...lots of problems getting the scripts to behave, you
understand.

Thanks, of course, to Dongle, for the model(s), the scripts I altered, and, of course, the Ranger
Tent itself!

Thanks to Aftershock_81, who's Travel Tent (an Ashlanders' Yurt) gave me the Companion Scripts to
work with.

Thanks to Fliggerty, who tought me much of what I know about Morrowind Scripting.

And, thanks to Bethesda, for making a game that ANYONE can make greater game out of.

And by the way...if you happen to be playing this mod, and you spot a Port Marker standing near the
doorway in Plaza Brindisi Dorum--you know, right next to the Marine that sells you the BFG-9000?
Or...if you see it's mate standing next to the Wise Woman's Yurt in the Zainab Camp, would you let
me know, please?  These were added to the mod during testing, and...I've noticed things have a way
of...re-appearing!  

Shouldn't be a problem, tho.  I've cleaned the mod with Morrowind Enchanted Editor.  ANYTHING besides
what the mod was meant to do got tossed...well, into another mod, anyways.

Always gotta keep my cheats current, you know!

Was it you that did the ashlander tent companion update?

There is only one thing missing from that mod imo. The amulet of return should return you to the place you last used it outside the tent if used inside the tent.

Was it you that did the ashlander tent companion update?

No, I just grabbed the code--and the idea of a magic activator for use mid-trip--and put them into the script(s)  for the Ranger Tent.
