📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes all the bugs that I know of for the Sprint Swim Redux SKSE mod.
If you are on a lower than 1. 3 of this mod and find yourself being forced to stand in shallow waters, get version 1. 3, the tolerances were massive improved due to lowered tick rates allowing for higher water levels before being forced to stand.
Bugs fixed:
[]Follower doing sprint swim animation while sprinting on land (I used the same method basically as my Auto Follower Stuck Sneaking Fix mod to fix this) Basically its the same issue where the animation graph states and actual state isn't synced, and this mod makes sure it is. I was able to make a save when this bug happened, and could always load into this bug being present and thus was able to be 100% sure that my mod fixes it.[/]
[]Player crouching into water with the sneak roll perk and end up sneak rolling instead of sprint swimming underwater. This one was a doozy to fix as my original attempts at forcing the player to stand while swimming already doesn't solve the issue, something causes the sneak state to be baked after swimming happens. Instead I use water level detection and if the player is just about deep enough in water right before they are forced into a swimming state, I make the player stand up. Thus, by never fully crouching into a swim transition, it avoids this issue entirely and now the player no longer sneak rolls underwater instead of sprint swimming. (there's like a gazillion ways players end up crouching into water but every single one has been fixed at this point in time)[/]
[]Not a bug but a feature change: Sprint swim only works in 3rd person, so if player is in 1st person camera mode and starts sprint swimming, this mod now forces a camera change to 3rd person.[/]
[*]Player doing sprint swim animation while on land: This bug is not yet fixed, as of currently, not only does it think that the player is correctly in the swim state and its animation graph is perfectly synced, it also thinks the player is actually underwater when swimming on air/ground. I need another roundabout way to detect ground status without these, as currently all these methods of water detection all fail. I have tried animation sync status, water height checking, raycasting, and even anti-gravity velocity value checking and all of these fail, as when this bug happens, every indicator will show that the player is underwater despite them not being underwater. This is even worse combined with this bug being difficult to recreate and not knowing if any fixes actually work or are placebo until I end up recreating the bug again after like 60 attempts to do it. I need some extreme out of the box thinking to fix this one. Though you the player can always stop holding the sprint button to stop swimming on lan
