Armor Training (OpenMW)

Armor Training - OpenMW Edition

This mod is a native OpenMW implementation inspired by Armor Training by Vengyre. If you are using MWSE, please support the original mod and author.

This mod allows armor skills to improve through movement while wearing armor. Rather than relying solely on being struck in combat, characters gradually develop proficiency with their equipment as they travel, explore, and adventure throughout Vvardenfell.

How It Works

Armor experience is awarded periodically while moving. The amount of experience gained depends on several factors, including:

• []Armor type worn[/]

  []Amount of body coverage provided by equipped pieces[/]

  []Movement type (walking, running, or swimming)[/]

  []Current armor skill level[/]

  []Player movement speed[/]

  []Configurable training multipliers[/]

Major armor pieces such as cuirasses, greaves, and boots contribute more toward training than smaller pieces, encouraging realistic equipment choices.

Uses Armor. TYPE to define armor class, uses getCurrentSpeed(self) to determine values for speed scaling, and SkillProgression.skillUsed to invoke experience gains.

Settings

All options can be configured in-game through OpenMW's settings interface. Additional tweaks to per-piece armor contributions can be made in the settings.lua file.
