Fixed jump control not being unbound after dismounting.
Version 0.0.2.1
Fixed mane and tail using different model names from vanilla Oblivion in the plugin.
Version 0.0.2
Renamed some folders and files to match Oblivion, since not doing that only needlessly obfuscated the install.
Updated and grealty simplified conversion guide for the latest versions of NIFConverter and SNIFF. Elaborated on any steps that might have been confusing.
Version 0.0.1
Initial release.
Consider this to be a proof of concept. There are many issues still to work out, but since I do not currently have a lot of time to dedicate to this project, and I already managed to solve the asset use issue, I wanted to at least put something out there instead of holding off in favor of a more polished product that I may never finish. If anyone would like to contribute to or extend this mod's features and assets, you are welcome to do that. Keep in mind that modified Oblivion assets cannot be directly shared, so there will have to be a way for end users to patch files themselves if you need to make further changes.
The conversion guide is available for download. You MUST follow it carefully in order to install this mod.
