==============================================================================================================================

Updating/Current Nemesis/ pandora users

If you already have nemesis installed, you should delete the contents of your Nemesis_Engine\cache folder and re-run nemesis, before you have in stalled S.O.U. 

Pandora users can just simply rerun the pandora engine.

This should be done on every new nemesis run/update. 




Load order and Compatibility:

The load order of SteedsOfUltimaVR.esp plugin should not matter.
 
If another mod uses a Horsebehaviour.hkx or 0_Master.hkx, Make sure they do not overwrite you Nemesis output.

.Most likely not compatible with Immersive Horses and Convenient Horses. There are may overlapping features. Also these are script heavy and not suited to Skyrim VR.

.Make sure Be Seated has its relevant horse settings configured in its mcm.



SKSE config file and settings:

You can find SteedsOfUltimaVR.ini file next to the dll in SKSE\Plugins folder.

Important settings:

MountedActivationDistance: This will dynamically change fActivatePickLength setting while mounted to this value.
MountedActivationRadius: This will dynamically change fActivatePickRadius setting while mounted to this value. 

EnableMountedKick: You can enable or disable Horse kick while mounted with jump button. Mounted kick only works while the player is in combat.
MountedKickDamage: You can set the damage amount of Mounted Horse kick. Default is 35.

This mod includes custom shouting system while mounted (and while on foot if you choose). By default it uses your original shout button. You can change this and use any hand's any button or button combination for activating shouts. Check the comments for details. Button codes can be found in the ini file.
CustomShoutHand = 0    # Set 0 for original mapping, 1 for Right Hand, 2 for Left Hand
CustomShoutButton = 2    # Button code for custom shout. Only used if CustomShoutHand is set to 1 or 2.
CustomShoutButtonCombination = -1  # Button combination code for custom shout. Only used if CustomShoutHand is set to 1 or 2. 
EnableShoutingOnFootAsWell = 0  #If you liked this Custom shouting implementation and want to use it on foot as well. Unmap your original shouting first please!!! Only use this if CustomShoutHand is set to 1 or 2!!!
ShoutsUseAllKnownWordsInstantly = 0 # Option to use instant shout casting (highest known word) instead of vanilla like button press duration based word selection.


Q&A


Q. Who made the mounted weapons?
A. Our master at Arms, Pieter82. He crafted these from scratch and has plans for a separate mounted weapons mod on top of the weapons you see in the promo.


Q. This mod wont work on my build.
A. Please, please, please stop using your overwrite as your dedicated nemesis or pandora output! This is likely the reason for failed behaviours.


Q. I have some suggestions...
A. We would love to hear them!


Q. There is no NPC mounted combat...
A. Maybe in a separate mod or future version this will be addressed.


Q. Will this work for SSE?
A. Short answer no, long answer sort of. You can isolate the skse removing the vr behaviour edits. I don't own or test see and support won't be given. You have permission to port what you need provided you let Shizof know too.
