📋 About This Mod

1. 11 - Fixes a funny bug that allows you to trample enemies on foot when steering is turned off. This is the \"final\" version in that I\'ve completed spellcasting to support all spells and cause hostile reactions etc but I still plan to make improvements to the mod as time progresses. This mod adds mounted combat to Oblivion. The Mounted_Trampling.esp allows for a Mount&Blade type steering mechanism for your horse. You press forward to accelerate and backward to slow down and eventually stop. Running into objects will automatically stop your horse. Your horse\'s turning speed goes down as you accellerate and it goes back up as you slow down. You cannot jump off of a speeding horse. If you are running fast enough, you\'ll be able to trample actors you run into. They\'ll be knocked back and take fatigue and health damage. Trampling is not a crime unless you kill someone with it so running over a few people on the road is alright. You can turn off trampling and just use the steering mechanism of the plugin by typing \"Set ToggleTrample to 0\" without quotes in the console. Set it to 1 to turn it on again. You can also turn off steering and just use the trampling mechanism by typing \"Set ToggleSteering to 0\" without quotes in the console. Set it to 1 to turn it on again. There is a crash detection system in place which would stop your from running if you run into an object but it\'s imperfect and can get annoying sometimes especially with special, mod-added mounts like Akatosh or the Flying Carpet from Midas Magic so you can disable it by typing \"Set ToggleCrashDetection to 0\" without quotes in the console. Set it to 1 to enable it again. There is also a script effect icon replacer esp included in the package that fixes the sounds and lights caused by script effects. It uses an unused icon made by Bethesda. With Mounted_Spellcasting.esp, you\'ll be able to cast any spell on horseback just like you would on foot. Touch spells that are hostile work as short-ranged target spells and when cast, two bolts are shot in front of the player. Non-hostile touch spells are instead directly cast upon your horse so you can cast heal/shield/waterwalk on your horse while riding. Exceptions are spells like charm and calm which are cast like hostile spells rather than onto your horse like other non-hostile touch spells. Currently this mod supports all spells including custom and mod-added spells. Casting hostile spells onto civilians will add to your bounty and in some cases will trigger hostile responses from the target. Requires OBSE!
