About this mod

Adds the mythical Ring of Wings which lets you fly fly and have cools wings on your back at the same time.

Permissions and credits
*******Please download update file (3.04) if you have 3.01 - without it you will not be able to fly. However for new users you need to download main file and update. If you have 3.01-3.03 then I still really suggest doing so should fix the problem of the collision not following if you change cells. ************************

Name: Ring of wings
Version: 3.01
Date: 4/03/2008
Category: Armors
Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.416, OBSE 16+ (probably works with previous versions but was built using 16)
Author(s): Pacific Morrowind

Description
===========
Adds a mythical ring "Ring of Wings" that gives the player wings (bunch of choices) when equipped. It allows the player to fly.
To use:
equip ring, exit menu mode
then if first time a message box comes up asking you to choose your wing, else it auto chooses the last wing you were using.
to start flying press Y and look a bit up and in the direction you want to go and just walk. to change height just look up or down and keep walking, if very high circle down like an airplane coming in to land.
to stop flying press U (note you can die if you do this from up high)
to enter menu press P. As well as all the wing choices the menu also has:
Sounds: choose either no sounds, script effect sound or imp wing sounds
Disable/Enable in Interior: NOT IMPLEMENTED but will toggle ability to fly in interiors
Toggle Beast race fix: by default wings are actually tail but if you turn this on they will be amulets so that cats and lizards don't lose their tails when using them.

Oblivion\Data\RingOfRings v3.esp
Oblivion\Data\Readme - Ring Of Wings v3
Oblivion\Data\RingOfRings v3.bsa

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
A couple:
the collision the player is riding on is not the right size, but I'm no good with meshes so will have to fix that eventually (ie. get someone to make me one the right size), this means:
don't try shooting spells/arrows while flying as they will hit the collision
NPCs may run into the collision if you are low or jump on it and be air born with you.

If you find others that are not about the collision being way to big please contact me.
Future Plans
================
1. add more wings
2. when Dragoon Wraiths Nifscript is done do pseudo animation of the wings when flying.
3. add more sounds
4. make quest for the ring instead of autogetting it
5. add spells/potions for temporary effect
6. enable NPCs (bosses, mages etc, but not general bandits) to use this to chase the player or to ambush the player from. (this one is a really big maybe)

Licensing/Legal
NOTE: I do not actually have permission either to bundle the wings (or the retextured ones) from AlexanderW, I was unable to contact him. Also I was unable to contact Saltare. (no response from either for 6 months). Also no response (2 weeks) from SaidenStorm about his collision mesh, so if you want it removed just PM me, Also I'm looking for a new one (like only 50*50 units instead of 500*500 units).
Any of my textures are free to use though probably not worth it -> poor things are very good.
you can use my script in anything but credit would be nice to me, SaidenStorm and Saltare since it is mainly my original work but some is loosely based off of scripts by them.
Please do not upload this elsewhere or repost it without PM/emailing me, if I don't respond in 4 weeks it is free to the first grabber.
