📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION: Cancel your attacks by pressing block while attacking. Please see the readme for more details.
UPDATE: Version 2 bug fix: if you were holding down block, sometimes your first attack or cast would be interrupted by an animation. This should not happen anymore.
For personal reasons, I will no longer work on this mod, even though there is significant room for improvement.
INSTALL: Stick the cancelattack.esp in your OblivionData folder. Open your Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, and place a checkmark next to it. Or make an OMOD.
CONTACT: Send me a private message here on tesnexus, or email me. The address is in the readme.
LICENSING/LEGAL: Don't redistribute this mod. Don't use anything in this mod without permission, or else you'll get in trouble. I speak from experience!
