Reduced Backwards Running Speed -- Optimised
Now even more CPU friendly!
By Martigen
:: WHAT IT IS ::
Krytonix's original mod 'Reduced Backwards Speed' is a much needed addition that prevents you from kiting enemies -- by default in Oblivion you can backwards as fast as you can fowards, making it extremely easy to simply run backwards while fighting and remain untouchable.
in fact it's such an essential mod that it's since been incporated into other mods, such as Francescos (including Francesco's 3.0).
Even as a refined piece of code, the script is quite convoluted -- it has to be, as there is no in-built functionality for detecting backwards movement -- and because it needs to run constantly, chews up its fair portion of CPU time. This can be seen by monitoring the Quest scripts in the debug text while running forwards and backwards.
Thanks to OBSE we can now turn a 150 line script with equations for direction and speed into 15 lines with two simple conditional checks.
Gotta love OBSE.
:: WHAT IT DOES ::
This is a very simple re-scripting of Krytonix's mod to take advantage of the IsKeyPressed function in OBSE.
The % by which speed is reduced uses the same formula as in the original mod. It merely bases the detection of backwards movement on, funnily enough, the backwards key! The effect in-game is identical.
Reduced Backwards Speed Optimised requires OBSE to work.
:: INSTALLATION ::
Note: Reduced Backwards Speed Optimised uses the same script name -- 'aaNoRunBackwards' -- as the original mod. This makes it highly compatible and a drop in replacement for all mods using it, such as Francescos 3.0. Simply loading this mod last will update the version used in other mods, including the original if you have it enabled.
1) If not already, download and install OBSE.
2) Download and install Reduced Backwards Speed Optimised and load it last in your list.
Note: The latest version of OBMM automatically launches OBSE if you have it installed when launching Oblivion. Highly recommended to use OBMM.
:: CHANGELOG ::
1.0
- Release
1.1
- Fixed startup issue
