Version 1.3 uploaded
So it turned out that the horse used by followers in the feature added by Convenient Horses was unique to that mod. I have added some automatic compatibility so that if my mod detects CH, it will add the new horse to my lists.
As far as compatibility goes, this will be as much as I can do for CH on my end. The way I apply the cloaks will always mean you will lose any CH armour equipped on the Horse, replaced with the vanilla saddle. The only way I could do it would be to make the mod dependent on CH, make new Outfit's for every cloak + breed + saddle combination, then edit the core script a bit. Watch this space, but don't hold your breath
I have also added a chainmail variant, as requested a couple of times in the comments. It is available from all blacksmiths as "Horse Mail", set as 100g and gives 25pts of protection.
Lastly, after using the mod with a white horse for the first time I noticed some areas of clipping on the sides of the horses belly and the back of the head. I have edited the horse skin mesh so that it no longer pokes through in these areas. I have also included this mesh fix as a separate download for those who are using 1.2
Here's the changes in 1.3:
- Added the follower horse from CH to the equip mechanic. - Added a new chainmail variant - Changed the horse skin to fix clipping
I'm going to wait for a couple of days for confirmation of the follower horse compatibility changes for CH. Once we've got the all clear, I'll start working on "Horse Cloaks for CH".
Version 1.3 - 19 Dec 2014 - New: Added the follower horse from CH to the equip mechanic - New: Added a chainmail variant - Fix: Edited the horse skin to fix clipping issues
Version 1.2 - 14 Dec 2014 - Change: Streamlined the code in the equip mechanic - New: Added "Change Cloak" option to the sneak menu - New: Added Shadowmere to the equip mechanic - Change: Split the saddle from the cloak.nif and changed equip slot - Fix: Changed the HDT package to provide Physics.xml as loosefile
Version 1.1 - 13 Dec 2014 - Fix: All vanilla stable horses should now be covered - Fix: Changed script so that if/when the mod makes additions to merchant's items list, the interior cell is also reset - Change: Removed unnecessary "Horse" button, now sneak-activating a horse will go straight to the options menu
Just want to add a little note for future downloaders: This only works for (most of) the Vanilla horses, any horse that was added by mods won't be able to equip the cloaks. I've tested this on Blaze, Snaefax, Quan chi Steed, Reindeer from Saturalia holiday pack, Despair, TERA Wolves, and the Four horses of the apocalypse. I don't have Arvak yet so I haven't tested it on him.
So I installed it and followed all the instructions, loaded up the game and bought the cloak, but when I go to press equip it doesn't do anything. The menu vanishes and nothing else happens.
any chance we can get a patch for immersive horses as well? i really want to use these cloaks but whenever i try to equip one, it says cloak was lost or something. it show up in the immersive horses inventory but will not show the cloak on the horse. the tail part of it will though which is wierd. this may be because the mod is looking for armor but since the cloaks is not armored it wont show up.
Hey so im getting the issue that the horse when given the cloak will equip it and then suddenly unequip it. I think its because the cloak doesn't count as armor. Where as the saddle does. Im using immersive horses, if that matters any.
