Description

This mod creates a job board in the Imperial City Market District just outside the Black Courier offices. On the board collection jobs are listed, asking for delivery of ingredients, books, or just random items. Every week 8 random jobs appear.

To take a job, take the paper from the job board. When you've got whatever the poster requested, turn it in to "Mudcrab" (the orc next to the job board).

Notes

Known Issues:

• There may be extra job postings up after several weeks. This is due to either a problem with the PlaceAtMe function losing refs, or more likely, refs being changed when the load order is changed. I've decided to ignore this bug. Either way, fixing it would require a complete rewrite. The changes in 1.1a mitigate this, and it's an easy matter to just pick up extra scrolls.
• The job scrolls are NOT HAVOKED. This is deliberate. I thought about making them quest items so you couldn't drop them, but that would just be evil. I recommend only putting them into containers and not dropping them.
• The script uses the dreaded disable to get rid of job scrolls. I've been unable to find a way around this in vanilla oblivion (books have a special activate so you can't just throw them in a garbage can). The number of zombie refs will be fairly small unless you play for a long time - a max of 8 are created every 7 game days.
