This is a first pitch to gather opinions and ideas.
Custom script and gumps to handle the lockpicking differently. It opens a gump with a total of 10 lock parts to chose from. In order to unlock a lock, the player must find the correct lock order. Depending on the player's skill level, the number of locks to choose from ranges from all 10 to 3 (modifiable).
The gumps are from Oblivion's lockpicking system.
To-do / future:
How to install:
I only ask that if you use this script and modify the gumps or improve its function, you share with us so we can build upon it together.
Thank you!

To-do / future:
- Make a better looking gump.
- Balance and finetune the difficulty curve to better reflect initial chances to open a lock.
- Modify the way lockpick consumption works so a player with very high skills doesn't break so many.
- Add sound effects for a better the immersion.
How to install:
- Download the package.
- Insert the "LockpickingGump.cs" script into your project.
- Call the "LockpickingGump" from the "LockPick.cs" file (see below).
- Optional: Modify your gumparts with the included bitmaps.
- Optional: Modify the constants to your liking. You may also use existing gumps for a less immersive mini-game using existing buttons ID.
LockPick.cs:
protected override void OnTarget(Mobile from, object targeted)
{
if (m_Item.Deleted)
return;
if (targeted is ILockpickable)
{
from.SendGump(new LockpickingGump((PlayerMobile)from, (ILockpickable) targeted, m_Item));
//m_Item.BeginLockpick(from, (ILockpickable)targeted);
}
else
{
from.SendLocalizedMessage(501666); // You can't unlock that!
}
