About this mod
Reliably equips your shield at the same time as your sword of choice
- Permissions and credits
Do you want to Equip your Sword and Shield at the Same Time?
Then you hit the hotkey for Shield and then your other hand is holding a blacksmith's hammer?!?
That's not helpful!
It's a long-known bug that the shield equip function will often pick something at random, often the hammer, and hell it's not even a real weapon!
What this mod does is reliably equip your one handed weapon of choice with the shield EVARY TIME!
Now, the function may already work for you at times, depending on what's in your inventory. It did for me at the start of the game, and here and there late game. The game may or may not be attempting to choose the strongest weapon in the game automatically. But it never takes into consideration the weapon you prefer to use instead. So:
If you have your sword of choice in belt1 and a shield in belt2, this script will:
Equip the sword first
Then equip the shield after a short pause.
The hotkey is Shift 2
Hitting 1 will then dequip both
Shoot that arrow or ranged spell out then hit Shift-2 for melee with your sword and shield at ready guaranteed! Or your money back!*
*Absolutely not
Installation:
-Download the AutoHotKey Script v1.1 from here and install it
https://www.autohotkey.com/
I haven't verified if the script will work with v2.0 so use v1.1
-Place the DarkM-Shield.ahk from this mod anywhere, like on the desktop.
Warning! Your Anti-Virus may not like this! In Avast I had to add some exceptions to the AutoHotKey exe and the script itself.
-Run:
Dbl-Click the ahk file, start the game, and play.
When out of the game, you can X out of the script on your taskbar (a green H).
Here's my mod for Improved Movement
(Crouch Toggle + faster sneak, faster backwards, less roll, etc)
