So, I posted this originaly on Abot's Guars mod, but the dude seems to hate us users of OpenMW, so let him be. Anyways, here's a verbatim copy ;P (Remember kids always keep backup) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenMW is the only reason that I'm playing Morrowind. My first TES was Oblivion, so I didn't see why to downgrade xD
But thanks to OMW, we can play with our cellphones, so it's great when we are away from home. I also like mounts, I have installed Helequin's Riding Mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/7919), and using the Creation Kit (Lucky for me it's nearly the same of Oblivion, FO3, Skyrim or FO4) I have stripped all the content that I don't like, and using "bad & cheaply" modified .nif from Silt Striders (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42267), I have my own and first driveable Silt Strider (I know I'm the first because I wouldn't have do that if I could download one xD).
Reading that thread (Abot's Guars), I've figured the Madmax riding script is fine, but incompatible with OpenMW. So I have edited it. When you clip underground, instead of falling of the mount with the "You cannot ride underwater" prompt, it moves up the ride, letting you keep mounted.
Original: ----------------------------------------------------------- if ( zz < ( pheight - 70 ) ); water height set dismount to 2 endif --------------------------------------------------------------- This was my edit:
if ( zz < ( pheight - 70 ) ); water height setpos, z, pheight endif ---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm no programmer so it's not perfect, but it works SOMETIMES, if you're not in a hurry.
I accept advice or help. And, if you wanna try it or improve it, just send me a message and I'll upload it, giving credits to the original work upon is based.
Other solution I've find is opening the console when you notice you're starting to fall, select mount and "move z 10000" for normal mounts and "move z 50000" for the Silt Strider
Sorry for shitty grammar, I'm spaniard, and I tend to translate word-by-word :)
TLDR: I have the first driveable Silt Strider mod for OpenMW but I don't know how to further improve it
