📋 About This Mod
Name: Double-Tap Dodge
SHORT DESCRIPTION ================= Double-tap a direction key to dodge in that direction.
HISTORY ======= 1. 2, Nov 28 2010 - Fixed the fatigue problem. My bad. Thanks to akbaroth for reporting it. 1. 1, Nov 20 2010 - Dodging now consumes fatigue. Now requires OBSE 19. 1. 0, Nov 20 2010 - Initial release.
REQUIREMENTS ============ Latest version of Oblivion. Get a patch here: http://elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm OBSE 19 or later. Download here: http://obse.silverlock.org/
LONGER DESCRIPTION ================== If your acrobatics skill is 50 or higher, tap a direction key twice quickly to dodge that direction. Double-tap dodge offers a couple benefits over the vanilla dodge: you can dodge while facing a close wall or actor in front of you, and you can dodge while getting up after being knocked down. Your dodge animation must be completely finished before starting the taps for your next dodge.
If you are in first person, the mod will automatically put you into third person during the dodge, and put you back into first person afterwards. I did this because the first person dodge was uncooperative.
This mod works best if you have a high frame rate. If your frame rate is low, the mod might not catch your keytaps.
You can adjust the double-tap sensitivity by typing this in the console: set ddtaptimer to x where x is the maximum number of seconds between two consecutive keytaps for it to trigger a double-tap. The default is 0. 3.
!! If you used version 1. 1 and your fatigue is now all messed up, version 1. 2 can fix it. Take off your equipment, let all your spell effects wear off, and stand still until your fatigue stops rising. Then open the console and type this: startquest ddfatiguefix
Your fatigue should now be fixed.
