Great mod! Just to check, is this meant to work for short blades as well, or just the other weapon types? I've tested it in my game and it seems to work for long blades but not for short ones - just a limitation based on the weapon size, or something I'm doing wrong?
Found a bug while trying out the mod, attacking in 3rd person view with a 2-Hander in one hand causes the attack speed to be much slower then compared to attacks made in 1st person. It was happening with both claymores and battle axes, did not try the other weapon types.
Update: Found the source of the problem, the mod Animation Compilation causes issues with 1-handed attack speeds, causing attack speeds being too slow for 2-handers when paired with this mod. Replacing it with Simply Walking (Animation mod) fixes the issue.

Wow, that's crazy. 10/10 Edit: Tried it out again, it really does work perfectly, the spears are labeled long blades still but both use and skill gain is spear - amazing. Love the way they now sheathe on the back even in 1h mode as well.
Can't get this to work, although I am using a crapload of mods. No matter what key I assign, it doesn't change the stance. Tried disabling Quick equip but that didn't help, I also use stuff like weapon sheathing + additions, UI expansion, Essential indicators, abot's journal, map etc. etc, almost all of them. What could be the culprit ?
Great mod! I always wanted to play a spear+shield fighter. Now it works real good. It would be nice if a one-handed spear would use the "sheated on back" and not "sheated at belt" position when used with the Greatnes' weapon sheating mod. And as ponyboy18 said, one-handed spear levels the long blade skill, maybe this could be also changed to level the spear skill somehow.
Masterful piece of work. Well balanced with the decreases and increases depending on weapon and how it's being held.
After equipping a two-handed weapon as one-handed I am able to equip a shield with no issues?
Where this mod really shines I hope is despite many attempts to have "one-handed" spears, most mods have failed. Either they've been poorly executed, buggy or due to Morrowind engine limitations, have relied on a hacked approach but been limited to forcing spears not raising the spear skill but instead the long blade skill.
I truly hope this MWSE based version gives us what some of us have waited nearly 20 years for.
Edit : I imagine bound weapons are not supported. That would be another challenge in itself.
This mod currently does use Long Blade for 1h spears, just tested it. Very elegantly implemented though and I like the keybind, you can also kind of simulate swapping hands with 2 versions of the same spear each in the different handling via hotkeys which looks and feels pretty cool. If 1h spears could somehow raise the spear skill as well that'd be amazing though I agree. I like the mod even as it is though, well done Archimag.

bound weapons are not supported to avoid breaking the game
