What is TES Combat modification?
--------------------------------
This mod changes the gameplay of melee combat, allowing you select a target
and center your movement around it (like in most 3d combat games). You can
now focus entirely on the fighting moves instead of struggling to align your
cursor on the enemy.


How to install?
---------------
-Copy CombatMod.esm in your Oblivion/Data directory,
-In the Oblivion launcher select "Data Files"
-Activate CombatMod.
-Launch the game.


How to use?
-----------
Once the mod is installed, load or start a game, a message will indicate you that Targetting was added to your inventory.

Bind the item it to one of the shortcut keys.
Hit the shortcut key to activate/deactivate targetting mode.
Note : The Target uses the tail slot slot so you can still equip your favorite enchanted items.

When you activate targetting, you will get locked on a nearby target (if any is present).
Target priority is a combination of agressivity, heading, distance and visibility.
But whatever happens, aggressive actors will be targetted before any others.

Your movement will now be centered on this actor.
Press Forward to run on the enemy, back to move away.
Left/right to circle around him from the left/right.
All combat moves (side acrobatics etc) work properly.
Deactivate by hitting the shortcut key.


Advanced
--------
Binding the targetting to the spacebar:
-launch the game,
-in the control options bind the Action key (or whichever key you bound to Spacebar) to another key
-place the ring in your quickslot #8
-save and quit
-go to My Documents/My Games/Oblivion
-open the Oblivion.ini file
-locate this line Quick8=0009FFFF and replace it by Quick8=0039FFFF
-save oblivion.ini and launch the game

Similarly You can bind any quickslot item to any key you wish, you just have to locate the
code of the key in the oblivion.ini file.


Known Issues:
-------------
Can't activate the target while blocking or attacking.. this seems hard to fix, since the game
disables equipping an item in those cases.
