Demonasius Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey guys, real quick. Looking for a mod that removes the whole "You cannot change weapons while attacking" limit in the game so I can fast change weapons during combat. Anyone know of such a mod? I appreciate any and all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The game already will allow you to change weapons during combat ... just not in mid swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatnaru Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think you missed the point. He/she already knows that they can change weapons in combat. They said "so I can fast change weapons during combat" (keyword: fast). This bugs me too. I'm not sure if it bugs me enough to install a mod for it, but I may if someone makes it.

Striker879 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hotkey the weapons you'd want to switch to. If you want more than the vanilla eight keys for hotkeying download a hotkey mod, there are at least a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatnaru Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 They aren't asking for a way to quickly switch weapons, they are asking for someone to make a mod that allows them to change weapons in what is considered "mid-swing". We are both capable of thinking of in-game ways around the problem, but we want to get rid of the problem entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 In Oblivion, while an animation plays, it can completely and unrevokably lock up any and all other actions, depending on what the animation blocks and how it's set up with bone priorities.I can create a simple idle animation which while playing over and over again renders you completely unable to draw a weapon, cast magic or even open the inventory screen.So if it's the mid-swing animations configured in a way that specifically blocks the weapon switch animations (unsheathing/sheathing, if I recall correctly), this could be overcome by replacing them with ones 'not' blocking that effectively. However, as different to other situations where actions are blocked by an animation playing in this special case also a message appears telling you as much, and I haven't yet found anything making this message appear in the modable game assets, chances are good this feature is a hardcoded limitation rather than anything modable. In this case it'll be really hard, if not entirely impossible, to get rid of it. Game engine limitations are hard to overcome (I dedicated 10 years of modding entirely to this task) and hardcoded game features can only hardly be modded, if at all. I can't be of any help with this in here, but I'm seeing no easy way to overcome this limitation by a mod or something, if my latter suspicion turns out to be correct.

Phatnaru Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Isn't there a way to override the swinging animation with the weapon changing animation? Forgive me if you already answered that. I'm still new at this and didn't understand half of what you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
