📋 About This Mod
Name: Shield on Back Author: Tycho (tycho@morpheous.biz) Version: 2. 0 Full (yes, i skipped 1. 2-1. 9!!! hehe) Contents of this readme: 1.) Features 2.) Installation / Uninstallation 3.) User\'s Manual 4.) Troubleshooting 5.) Modders information 6.) Credits 7.) Version History ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.) Features This mod is similar the many shield unequip scripts out there but it takes it one step further. This mod also puts the shield on your back! Previous versions of this mod used an arrow and the quiver slot, but in this version the script has been redone from scratch, and now uses the shield slot, which works much, much better and means all you marksmen out there wont have to worry about your arrows! This also means that the enchanted shields will still give you the enchant and armor bonus, since the \"back\" shield is basicly a duplicate of the orginal, except it uses a different .nif file. It also transfers the health of the shield back and forth. Note: The mod ------REQUIRES----- OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender) v0009a (or above) to function, get it here: http://obse.silverlock.org/ Any questions/comments/suggestions/bugs etc please feel free to email me! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.) Installation / Uninstallation Installation: If you already had v1. 0 or v1. 1, delete the respective esp, and delete everything in the folder \"data\\meshes\\tycho\", including the folder; or if you have the OMOD version, just deactivate it and delete that OMOD. The meshes have now been moved to \"data\\armor\\tycho\" since the \"back\" shields are now armor and not arrows. Make sure to activate the mod. If you have the OMOD version just activate it, otherwise extract the contents of the rar to your \"oblivion/data\" folder. There should not be any files overwritten. Then make sure to activate it in the oblivion loader. In both methods make sure to start the game with OBSE. One suggestion, because this mod adds a script to every shield in the game, i suggest you disable any mods that add scripts to shields, or use Oblivion mod manager to change the load order so this loads after any other mods that add scripts to shields. Uninstallation: If you have the OMOD, just deactivate it! Otherwise delete the \"Tycho\'s Shield On Back v2. 0 Full.esp\" file, and delete the folder \"tycho\" under \"data/meshes/armor\", and all the files in it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3.) User\'s Manual This mod does everything automaticly, so all you have to do is equip a shield and it will start working when you draw and sheath your weapon. If when you sheath your weapon or already had it sheathed and the \"back\" shield isnt shown, then draw your weapon, unequip and then equip the shield again and it should work from that point on. Y
