Items that are both in vertical mode and against a wall can now be freely rotated around the central axis with the rotate key. Vertical mode now cycles on/off instead of multiple rotations.
Holding Alt to copy the last orientation also temporarily disables auto-alignment, so you can reposition tilted items without changing the item orientation.
Removed unneeded message box on picking up an item.
Added support for translation files using the recently added MWSE translation library.
Cleaned up a mod compatibility issue. Special thanks to Abot.
Version 2.0
Items will align to the ground, in the same way as the Just Drop It mod. Special thanks to Merlord for the code. Alignment can be switched on and off with a toggle key, and there is a default setting in the menu too.
Picking up tilted items will rotate them to a flat orientation when in the air.
Moving vertically oriented items no longer shifts the item a small distance on pickup.
You can hang items by holding Rotate key + Drop key.
Both MWSE and OpenMW version is supported! The OpenMW beta requires the OpenMW 0.49 dev build. It is 99% working, but please save before use in case of any bugs.
Perfect Placement allows you to interactively arrange all your items in first person view.
Just point at an item and press 'G' by default to pick it up. Look around to move the item, and a shadow spot will appear where the item will set down. Press 'G' again to drop it. Other controls are displayed with an on-screen guide. Check MWSE's Mod Options for keybinds and more configuration.
- Perfect Placement places the item exactly on top of surfaces in horizontal mode, and the back of the item against vertical surfaces while in vertical mode. - The item will rotate to follow the surface. This is toggleable with a key, and the default mode can be set in mod options. Special thanks to Merlord for this feature. - Items in Vertical Mode can be mounted to walls just by placing them against a wall. - Rotation Snap lets you line up books precisely. - Copy Last Rotation causes the held item to match the rotation of the last item you placed. - Carry your stuff around anywhere, but you will drop it if you have to ready your weapons or magic!
