The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Horse Armor Compatibility: Slof's Armored White Stallion Unnerfed & Patched

==============================

Version 1.0

by dev_akm


==============================
DESCRIPTION
==============================

This mod has two parts, both of which are intended for use with Bethesda's official DLCHorseArmor plugin (not included).

The first part is a revised version of Slof's Horses Armored. The changes improve compatibility with other mods that also alter the DLCHorseArmor plugin, including Quarn's Unofficial Official Mod Patch and JOG's Official Plugins Unnerfed.

The second part is a Slof's Horses Armored compatibility patch for the excellent Knights of the White Stallion mod, by Cleitanious (aka Marine Okeefe/Modder 300/ByblosHex), Sammy Grey, and Pain_Killer. This add-on lets you purchase Horse Armor for your White Stallion, call the armored versions with your horn if you have them, and uses AlienSlof's horse parts for the stallions.

The main reason I made this mod is to allow greater compatibility for Slof's Horses with other mods that alter the horse armor, especially JOG's Official Plugins Unnerfed, which previously couldn't be used with Slof's version. Also, I really enjoyed the Knights of the White Stallion mod and wanted to be able to purchase horse armor for my White Stallion.


==============================
REQUIREMENTS
==============================

Slof's Horses Base:

If you use Slof's Horses Nightmare, you'll need those files as well:
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=3977

If you want to use the Knights of the White Stallion compatibility option, then you'll need to download and install that mod, too:

==============================
INSTALLATION & DETAILS
==============================

Unpack the archive and move or copy the ESP files you want to use into your \Oblivion\Data\ folder, then activate them.

There are four files corresponding to the variants Slof has in her original Slof's Horses Armored download. The major difference here is that these files do not replace the DLCHorseArmor.esp -- in fact, they now require that the user have DLCHorseArmor.esp installed since they use it as a master. These files are:

DLCHorseArmor_SlofBase.esp
DLCHorseArmor_SlofEssential.esp
DLCHorseArmor_SlofNightmare.esp
DLCHorseArmor_SlofNightmareEssential.esp

Don't use these all at the same time. You must use either SlofBase or SlofEssential -- but not both!. If you also use Slof's Nightmare version, then add either SlofNightmare or SlofNightmareEssential to the load order after SlofBase or SlofEssential to override the settings for shadowmere.

These plugins will work regardless of whether or not you've unnerfed the DLCHorseArmor.esp with JOG's mod, and they are compatible with Quarn's UOMP DLCHorseArmor - Unofficial Patch.esp -- how's that for a confusing mouthful?

You can add these plugins to your load order anywhere after the original/unnerfed DLCHorseArmor.esp and it doesn't matter where they sit in the load order relative to the UOMP patch because they each change entirely different things in DLCHorseArmor.esp (I've only changed the actual CREATURE entries for the armored horses).

The last file -- DLCHorseArmor_300WhiteStallion.esp -- is for Knights of the White Stallion. It requires both DLCHorseArmor.esp and 300_White Stallion.esp as masters. It alters the three White Stallion horse entries from 300_White Stallion.esp to use Slof's horse parts and creates new armored versions of the player stallion. It also alters the HorseArmor scripts to let you purchase the armored versions and alters the horn summon script to call whichever version of the Stallion you last rode. You can't call your stallion if you haven't ridden it recently (i.e., if it's not the last horse you rode).

Make sure the DLCHorseArmor_300WhiteStallion.esp loads after DLCHorseArmor.esp and 300_White Stallion.esp.

==========

UPDATE instructions for Knights of the White Stallion 3.0.

Cleitanious has released KotWS 3.0. This update works fine if you take a few precautions.

KotWS 3.0 includes two ESPs:

300_White Stallion 3.esp
300_White Stallion 3 - No KotN.esp

You MUST rename whichever one of these you want to use to have the same name as the old version:

300_White Stallion.esp

Otherwise Oblivion will CTD during launch since DLCHorseArmor_300WhiteStallion.esp depends on 300_White Stallion.esp.

Also, be sure to move the new version ESP back up in your load order so it still comes before DLCHorseArmor_300WhiteStallion.esp
