Requires OpenMW 0.48 or newer.


When a hotkey (default 'v') is pressed a light from the players inventory will be equipped and their currently equipped shield, if any, will be stored to be automatically re-equipped when the hotkey is pressed again. By pressing alt > hotkey the player can assign (or clear) the currently equipped light as their preferred light; the preferred light will be prioritized whenever a light is equipped using the hotkey. Preferred light and saved shield will be preserved between sessions.

Note: While initially the plan was to store and subsequently re-equip two-handed weapons as well, I learned that in OpenMW equipping a light does not unequip two-handed weapons. If the OpenMW Devs change that behaviour or someone makes a mod to change it I will update this mod to also account for weapons.


TODO:

• Sort lights by remaining duration
  

• Add preferred light system
  

• Make the hotkey configurable in-game
