Feedback

I've completed my sandbox page. If no one has any remarks for significant style or content changes, I will replace the Shivering:Traps page with this one. --Timenn 10:57, 4 July 2007 (EDT)

Looks good to me. More top Timenn work! --Rpeh^Talk 04:16, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

Confirmation on data

As plenty of data on traps can't be read literally from the Construction Set, here is an overview of the data I worked with.

Physical Damage calculation

Conditions

• Using the console command "setlevel" to test different levels.
• Test trap are the Swinging Blades close to the entrance/exit of Lindai01.
• Using the console command "tdt" to measure the exact health values.

Conclusions

• Damage is calculated the moment you're hit, and is based on your character's level at that moment.
• Damage is calculated for each actor. The skeletons who were so nice to get hit received damage dependent on their level.
• Damage = fTrapDamage + fLevelledDamage * Level.

"fTrapDamage" and "fLevelledDamage" are both variables set in the trap object's scrip.

Test data

According to ARTrapSwingBladeFAST01SCRIPT:
fTrapDamage = 20
fLevelledDamage = 1.5

Level	Damage
1	21.50
2	23.00
3	24.50
4	26.00
5	27.50
10	35.00
15	42.50
20	50.00
25	57.50
50	95.00
75	133.50
100	170.00

Trap Names

I've tried to come up with names for several traps which Editor ID was not usuable to make a good name out of it. Some names are from the old Oblivion:Traps page. If anyone has better names, by all means... (see the list above) --Timenn 14:42, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

Information Provided

In what ways can the information provided on traps be improved? At the moment there is information on the general locations of the trap (or specefic information if the trap is rare); the traits on how to recognize the trap, the action if the trap is triggered; and the effect (e.g. damage) the trap has on its victims. --Timenn 14:42, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

It looks pretty comprehensive to me, and much much better than the existing page. You've already answered some questions I'd wondered about (e.g., effect of difficulty slider on trap damage), and I can't think of anything else thats needed to be added. (And with the wiki, it's easy enough to add anything that happens to come up later.) Great work! --Nephele^Talk 15:32, 9 May 2007 (EDT)

Then I'll copy the contents of the article (and this talk page) to the Oblivion:Traps page as soon as possible.
