What this mod does:

This mod restores the dodge to its original state.

Light armor has a fast roll with longer distance than other armors. Medium armor has a moderate roll. Heavy armor has a sidestep. Just as it was in the beginning.

Here is a video of the dodges. This is from an older version of the mod. Since these videos were made, I did a full rebuild which corrected the animation to the original. In the video you will see a very slight 'stand up' animation that was not present in vanilla, but was an artifact of the new roll.

Context:

After returning to the game I did not like the dodge change. So I decided to mod it. This mod is by no means any more balanced than the original dodge. I enjoyed the original dodge roll for solo pve and I know others did too. This mod brings back that fun.

How to use this mod:

The old roll dodge is bound to Command 5. (The last action in the key bind menu.) You can set the key binding for your dodge to Command 5 and you’ll be good to go. I leave the current ‘dodge’ unbound and just bind my dodge key to Command 5.

Feel free to let me know if you have any issues.

Have fun!

In case you were wondering: 

Yes this is a cross-post of my mod from Steam. I am hosting it here since I have had requests for some alternate versions of the mod and steam does not facilitate that kind of hosting.


Technical Stuff:

• This mod does not edit any core blueprints! It should play nice with every other mod. Huzzah!
• All animations are saved locally to the mod. This means if they are ever removed from the dev kit, this mod will still work.
• The mod does not override the existing ‘new’ dodge. This mod adds a new action.
• The distance and speed of the dodge is tied directly to Funcom's original animation which I did not edit. So you can be assured, the dodge is really the real vanillay deal.
• The mod only touches the base game at two points, 'Command 5' and the dodge substate. So long as these exist in game, the mod should work going forward regardless of future updates.
  

Mod Installation

Never installed a mod without steam? Well you're in luck because it is easy. 

Unzip the file and drop the .pak file into the Conan mod folder on steam. Probably looks like this folder: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Mods

In this folder you will see a .txt file called 'modlist.txt'. Add the following line to that folder. The lines of text in this folder represent your installed mods in the order that they load. 
*C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Conan Exiles/ConanSandbox/Mods/OldRoll-ClassicDodge.pak

That is all there is to manually installing mods. 

Take care and have fun!
