AGM Better Horse Management

Intro:

This is an Addon for Ghost Mode (AGM) overhaul of management of Geralt's trusty horse, Roach.

Features:

1. Includes Crow's Saddle Overhaul  -- a number of changes to stats of horse gear. Ensured compatibility with Ghost Mode. I've made some research into "how much stuff can a horse carry", learned a lot about horse measurements, horse weights and horse management in general -- and found out that balance of gear in CSO is made very well. GM compatibility here is mostly about prices.

2. Includes immersive horse whistling feature, inspired by Immersive Horse Whistling. Now you can call Roach only if mare's nearby or you're near a signpost. It will not appear out of thin air anymore.

3. I've always disliked vanilla stash feature. Big chest with my stuff that no one other than Geralt can open, and it follows you around? Oh please.

Now Geralt's possible stash is in Roach's saddlebags. Saddlebags now will NOT increase Geralt's own carrying capacity, but it will provide an extra space to storage gear, limited by saddlebags. Press 0 when you're close to Roach, stash menu will appear - and you can store items this way. You can't store more than it is allowed, want more items to carry - buy better saddlebags. Now Strong Back perk instantly has some meaning, same for fiend decoction. Vanilla stash access is disabled. Finally, pressing 0 when Roach is a bit away will report an amount of stuff in stash-saddlebags.

Installation:

Dump mod into /Mods directory, merge scripts with Script Merger, don't merge XML files.

Add following to input.settings file located in your /My Documents/Witcher 3 directory

IK_0=(Action=HorseStash)

IK_Pad_LeftThumb=(Action=HorseStash,State=Duration,IdleTime=0. 5)

Compatibility:

New version: compatible with Ghost Mode 4. 0.b5.

Old versions can be used with 4. 0.b5 w/o problems so you don't have to update, only difference there is in Roach's sprint stamina drain per second.

Old versions: compatible with Ghost Mode 3. 0. 2 and 4. 0.b3 (checked). Probably compatible with 3. 0. 3.

Optional Version:

This one has Friendly Meditation support. Changes compared to basic version:

1. Disabled stash access via "E" key. Now it is just a big chest.

2. Disabled Roach call when near signposts.

3. Now you need to meditate (in real-time, with Friendly Meditation) for some time (till game hour change), when it happens Geralt will whistle and Roach will appear.
