Ultra lite horse saddlebags (store stuff on horse)

[Guest deleted2027229]

There are already a few saddlebag mods, but they come with custom assets which I'd prefer not to use.

 

I would like an ultra lite version where you simply approach your horse, enter sneak and activate your horse, you will open the container menu of your horse. No custom assets, no pop up menus. Just an ultra simple saddlebag mod. Any takers?

I already have something like this in one of my mods (with custom assets of course).

 

I can easily adapt it to vanilla horses. Caveat: it will conflict with other mods that also modify vanilla horses.

 

Or alternatively, I could create a unique horse with saddlebag functionality and place it somewhere in the world. (Let me know what stats and appearance.)

 

Let me know if this interests you - if so, I can upload it in a day or two. :smile:

Just a simple tweak to vanilla horses where activating them while in sneak opens them like a container. With no pop up menu asking you anything. That would be great.

Done :) https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/37744

 

I've tested it a little and it appears to work fine. Let me know if you encounter any problems with it.

Works perfectly, can't thank you enough! Just had to make a little tweak so the sack open SFX played when you opened horse, instead of wooden chest, which sounded a bit odd lol.

 

Is there any weight limit to how much a horse can carry? Is the physical presence of the container neccessary in the IC stables, or was this just a failsafe incase the player somehow loses their horse?

 

Is it possible to allow this to work with horses you steal or find in the wild? (ie horses you do not purchase)

 

Edit* - just tried it, took the sneak script from PChorse script and made it its own script, saddlebag function worked fine, but then I couldn't mount the horse. Though I'm sure I can work out the rest. Again, fantastic little mod to add to my install.

 

Also... what do you think of this idea, would it be possible?

I tried the method as instructed but just ended up outside the sewer.

There's no weight limit - you're just opening the chest at Chestnut Handy Stables remotely, giving the illusion that you're accessing saddlebags. That chest doubles as a failsafe in case something goes awry with your horse - e.g. they run off never to be found again. I don't think wild horses can be mounted without mods.

 

As for your random teleport idea, I could easily write a script that teleports you to two or three random markers placed in the world, and then you can expand that by adding as many markers as you like since you know how to use the CS. :)

 

It *might* be possible to generate random world co-ordinates to teleport to, but this will require significantly more R&D and testing that I have time for at the moment.
