In Jay's changelog

What Jay's changelog for GTS says about it, newest revision first. A later revision can have changed it again; the rest of this page is what base GTS does now.

  • V102 Fight a Bunch of Orcs? No, Thank You!: Followers would refuse to enter Cracked Tusk Keep, also the terrain was looking rough around the big fire in the middle. Fixed.
  • V93 Cracked Tusk Keep - 3DNPC Patches
    • Fixes a few possible floating boxes that should now return back to the ground.
  • V85 Uncracked Tusk Keep: The location Cracked Tusk Keep had a floating door and weird terrain around the entrance. This has been fixed.
  • V75 Orc Exiles - The Cracked Tusk Keep
    • Fixes, ore can now be mined properly
  • V75 Orc Exiles - The Cracked Tusk Keep:
    • Fixed clipping and positions of items around the keep.
  • V72 Orc Exiles - The Cracked Tusk Keep
    • This orc location has been overhauled with a stronghold worthy of the fearsome orcs that live inside.

From base GTS 118's own records: the winning copy of CrackedTuskKeepLocation (GTS Patches - Trees and Landscapes.esp). Level: the place's encounter zone, as the records set it. The game sets a place's level from yours, kept between its lowest and highest; GTS's Encounter Zones Unlocked keeps it following you rather than fixed at your first visit. Boss: who the place's own record marks as its boss (one picked by level has no name of its own and isn't shown). People: where the game places them as a game starts; they walk about.
