AttendMe-Rideable Silt Striders-Boats mod - compability patch

# AttendMe, Rideable Silt Striders, Boats mod compability patch

This project is a patch that makes these two mods compatible:

- Attend Me

- Ben's Rideable Silt Striders (OpenMW)

-Also any sailing mod as it checks water below player and prevent from teleporting.

It improves follower behavior during travel and prevents immersion-breaking teleportation issues.

---## What This Patch Does###

Attend Me Improvements

- Silt Strider Travel Compatibility

- Follower teleportation is completely disabled while riding a silt strider

- Followers are restored correctly at the destination

- Prevents followers from being re-enabled mid-travel and ending up in incorrect positions

- Uses a shared global storage flag written by the silt strider mod

- Boat / Sailing Mod Compatibility

- Adds water detection using ray scanning

- Works with most sailing mods automatically

- Followers won’t incorrectly teleport while traveling over water

- Interior Teleport Restrictions

Followers will NOT teleport into houses/buildings, it prevents unwanted situations (e.g., pack guar appearing indoors). Teleportation is still allowed in:  caves, ruins, mines, tombs, etc.

Custom interiors may require manual allow-listing

Ben's Rideable Silt Striders Improvements

- Adds shared global storage flag used by Attend Me

- Disables cliff racers during travel

Player jumping off when opening inventory

Player floating above the silt strider (tested on Dark Elf)
