Setsuna's Dummy and Target Training Modified V1.2

Original Mod by Setsuna/Kyrielle:
http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/27259

------------------------
Requirements:
------------------------

OBSE 16+


------------------------
What does this mod do?
------------------------

This mod allows you to use any training implement (chain doll, hanging wooden target, hay bail target) anywhere in the original Oblivion game or placed by any mod.
This is a modified version of Kyrielle's "Setsuna Dummy Training" mod which I like much for its universal character. However there were a few things that I wanted to change and this mod is the result.


------------------------
Modifications:
------------------------

- allows to train destruction skill
- allows to select the training target by facing it
- removed all glow effects except the initial target acquisition glow which is necessary so you know that you have successfully acquired your target
- added an ini file to allow the player to adjust the most important parameters easily
- modified skill experience calculation to use the internal Oblivion skill XP slices which could be modified by other mods
- removed training bonus for moving in front of the target. It somehow made not much sense to me that I get better with my blade if I just hop around in front of a target.
- removed different bonus calculations for different skill levels of melee skills.
- lowered the angles to the target that are required for a successful hit


------------------------
What you can train on:
------------------------

Melee (blade, blunt, hand to hand):

- Chaindolls (the hanging dummies)
- Hanging wooden targets (wooden panels with red bull's eyes painted in the center)

Archery/Marksman (bow):

- Hay bail targets (hay bails on stands with red bull's eyes painted in the center)
- Hanging wooden targets (wooden panels with red bull's eyes painted in the center)

Destruction Skill:

- Chaindolls (the hanging dummies)
- Hanging wooden targets (wooden panels with red bull's eyes painted in the center)


------------------------
How do you train?
------------------------

Training is very simple. In fact, it's as simple as drawing your weapon, looking for the glowing training dummy, and whacking it or casting at it!

But there are a number of finer points you will want to know.

- If the training dummy glows white - you have acquired this object as your training target for the training mode (melee, archery or destruction) you are in (defined by the weapon you have equipped)

- Training is turned OFF if you have done the following:
* Put your weapon away
* Got into combat
* Moved too far away from the target (for Melee and Destruction mode the default is 300 units (approx. 3m). For Archery the default is 2000 units (approx. 20m).

- To reacquire a target, all you need to do is:
* Draw your weapon
* Get out of combat
* Move closer to the target


------------------------
Miss Chances
------------------------

Every attack has a chance of missing. The miss chance is based on a random roll compared to your skill plus your luck divided by 4.

So, if you have a skill in Hand to Hand of 30 and your luck is 50, then any number rolled below 42.5 will hit the target.  Any number above will result in a miss.
This means that at lower levels, you will miss your target very often.  However, if your skill is very high and your luck is very high, you will almost always hit the target.  If you are a Master, you will always hit the target.
This creates a realistic representation of actual training.  The better you are at something, the more accurate you are at hitting it.


------------------------
Training Modes
------------------------

To enter a training mode, draw a weapon and look for a target to glow white.  The weapon you have drawn will determine the training mode.

=== Melee ===

When in melee training mode you have one of the following types of weapons equipped and drawn:  Hand to hand (no weapon or staff), Blunt (axe, mace), Blade (swords, daggers).

Melee training mode works as follows:

- If you successfully hit the target, you will gain a slice of skill experience appropriate to Oblivion's standard skill experience calculation and the configured bonus multiplier from the ini file.
- If you turn too far away from the target, you will miss. (The default angle for hitting the target when looking at it is a 40 degree cone.)


=== Archery/Marksman ===

When in archery training mode you have a bow of some kind equipped and drawn.

Archery training works as follows:

- Archery mode is divided into different levels of ranges (novice, apprentice, journeyman, expert, master) that ARE NOT dependent on your actual skill level. Instead each range represents a certain amount of distance from the target. You will be notified every shot what range you are in.
- In addition, each range level comes with a cone within which you can hit the target. By this I mean that at Novice range (default 400 units), you have a 10 degree cone within which your shots will have a chance of hitting.  Outside of this cone, you will surely miss.  At Master range (default 1600-2000 units), you have a 2 degree cone to hit the target.

As you can see, hitting the target gets harder and harder the further away you are but you get a skill experience bonus for shooting at targets from further away.


=== Destruction ===

When in destruction training mode you have one of the following types of weapons equipped and drawn:  Hand to hand (no weapon or staff), Blunt (axe, mace), Blade (swords, daggers).

Destruction training mode works as follows:

- If you successfully hit the target, you will gain a slice of skill experience appropriate to Oblivion's standard skill experience calculation and the configured bonus multiplier from the ini file.
- If you turn too far away from the target, you will miss. (The default angle for hitting the target when looking at it is a 40 degree cone.)


------------------------------------------------
How do I exit a training mode or switch modes?
------------------------------------------------

To switch training modes, all you have to do is put your current weapon away and switch to another weapon.
To exit training all together put your current weapon away and do not draw it again while in the vicinity of any potential targets.  Or you can move far enough away from any current targets.


------------------------------------------------
Installation
------------------------------------------------

Copy SetsunaDummyTraining.esp and the Ini folder to your Oblivion Data directory and activate the .esp in the launcher or OBMM.

DO NOT USE THIS MOD TOGETHER WITH THE ORIGINAL Setsuna Training Dummy MOD!!!
If you have the original installed at the moment you will have to remove it first. In order to do that deactivate the mod, load your savegame, accept the warning message and save the game to a fresh slot afterwards. Now you can install this mod.


------------------------------------------------
Uninstallation
------------------------------------------------

- deactivate the mod in the launcher or OBMM
- delete SetsunaDummyTraining.esp from your Data folder and SetsunaDummyTraining.ini from the Data\Ini folder

Version History
------------------------

1.2
- fixed some texts
- fixed incorrect target acquisition angles for melee and destruction
- fixed target selection when target is out of range
- lowered script time
- added visual effect if player moves out of range while a target is acquired

1.1
- changed target acquisition method - before it was the first matching reference in the cell which was very unpredictable. Now it is the first reference in the direction that you are facing (melee 40 degree cone, marksman 10 degree cone).
The target will be kept for as long as you look at it. If you want to select a different target turn towards the new target. The old target will flash red so you know that you are outside a valid angle. The new target will flash white when it has been acquired.
- changed combat angle for melee and destruction - instead of the 20 degree cone it is now a 40 degree cone to not lose target acquisition when a characters stands very close to the training dummy.
- damage to weapon is now taken from the game setting FDamageToWeaponPercentage instead of a fixed 0.01
