-THE CONTROLS-
Reins (Steering):
Left Stick or Movement Keyboard (WASD for Qwerty) controls the reins.
Roach moves exactly to the pointing directions:
- Pull left on the reins, your horse turns left.
- Pull right on the reins, your horse turns right.
- Pull back gently on the reins and the horse slows.
- Pull back a little longer (a second or so) and you will rein your horse to a full stop.
- Pull back when not moving and you will rein your horse to move backward. [Feature from the Next Gen update]
Spurs (Acceleration/Deceleration):
A/Cross button or Left Shift increases the spurs/speed.
(Gently) tilting down the Left Stick or Backward Keyboard (S for Qwerty) decrease the spurs/speed.
No longer need to hold a button for a full Gallop or Canter. Now the default input A/Cross button or Left Shift increases the speed and the Backward Movement decreases the speed. And Roach will maintain that speed!
The mod offers 5 speeds:
- Slow
- Walk
- Trot
- Gallop
- Canter
You can still double tap A/Cross or Left Shift to spur directly into full gallop. Or triple tap for full canter (and a nice animation).
Forward Spurs:
Tilting up the Left Stick or Forward Keyboard (A for Qwerty) controls the forward spurs.
While not moving, you can directly go to full Trot speed by using the moving forward command, similar to vanilla.
This will even auto-accelerate if you pull left or right on the reins.
Disables this feature will allow you to get full control of the speed.
-STEERING MODES-
Standard Steering Mode: (Default)
features options for either in "Exploration" or "Horse Racing" mode.
While riding, if you move forward and move the camera, your horse will go in the direction that the camera is facing.
If you stop holding forward, you can freely move the camera around and use the Reins to control the horse.
Alternative Steering: (When Standard Steering Mode is OFF)
You have complete control over the camera and your horse, they are separate yet connected, they are both leaders and never follow another.
Your horse can also rotate 360° just by pressing to one side.
ADDITIONAL MOD FEATURES:
--
-- Improves the timing of Geralt's voice commands to Roach. When you say 'Whoa!', it's in the proper context. When you yell 'Run Roach!' it's in the proper context. Because Geralt's voice commands to Roach actually make sense, based on your current action, it no longer feels like Geralt is yelling at Roach for no reason.
EXTRA FEATURES BY THE NEXT GEN AUTHORS:
-- Add input to toggle the option "Disable Road Following". Input "9" for Keyboard & Mouse only.
-- Incorporated free-permission mods:
- Roach Never Stops, by lasyan3 (Option: Unstoppable)
