Swim Boost Drain For OpenMW 0.48.0+ -- Solthas, 20230204
Try to jump while swimming, and you'll boost! It costs fatigue, but gives you speed. Also, swimming while out of fatigue hurts you! Fully tunable. For Winter Modjam 2023 (Dangers of Vvardenfell, Sea of Ghosts).
[RECOMMENDATIONS] This can be paired seamlessly with my other OpenMW 0.48+ Lua mods and is now included in my full Timed Directional Combat modpack.
[INSTALLATION] Unzip the mod subdirectory wherever you put your mods, or on a datapath listed in openmw.cfg (default Windows location C:\Users\...\Documents\My Games\OpenMW), and check the checkbox in OpenMW Launcher > Data Files > MODNAME.omwscripts
[DESCRIPTION] If you have enough fatigue, enter the jump input while swimming, and you'll get a big speed buff for a half second by default. It gives you a burst of speed, but drains your fatigue.
Its main tradeoff (optional) is as follows: if you run out of fatigue and keep trying to swim, you'll start taking damage.
[CONFLICTS] I hope there aren't any. I've set this mod up so that it doesn't change any values absolutely, and so that it tracks its state internally.
