Will check it out when I can, been super busy lately with other stuff.

Grr, yeah I'm having the same issue now when I try to download over wireless. The tiniest little blip and the download fails and you get a corrupted file. Goodbye FileDropper, never using your service again. Lurn2Code plz.

This is one of the many reasons we could use a mod author collaboration area on the Nexus. For now, it's time for plan B. I think I'll just go ahead and make a nexus mod page specifically for my beta releases.

I apologise if this has already been mentioned, but this thread is growing faster than I can read it :D

 

For horse levelling I would suggest several options: stamina, speed, carry capacity and/or armor rating. You could upgrade your horse by casting a spell upon it which permanently increases their stat by a certain amount each time. There would be a significant cool-down period, however. You could learn this spell by finding the book/scroll, which you could add to any number of leveled lists or merchants, and make it as rare or as readily available as you like. I would recommend you make it a slightly rare scroll. This way, there is also a level of control over how you level up your horse.

 

I love the idea of more immersive horses. Horse armor would be nice, and you can create tempering recipes for already existing horse armor if you choose to use it, but just increasing the armor rating by spell is cool too.

@Ellorienne - Interesting ideas about scrolls/spells triggering upgrade for horses. Maybe some horse trainers as well. That would all probably fit best if/when new stables are added and we can get creative and set up some proper voice acting with Mattias' help.

 

Horse barding (armors) are happening and probably caparisons (cloaks) as well.

 

Progress is coming along swimmingly. Just swimmingly I say.

This seems pretty cool, but will it fix the problem with horse physics where taking too steep an incline at too high a speed will cause the horse to just start falling and potentially kill itself? Because that one problem keeps me from being able to ride a horse for more than five minutes before it dies, and that really gets old.

Hmm.. well you can set them to protected and then they won't die from fall damage. Fixing physics in Skyrim is a horse of a different color.

 

I see what you did there.

 

In any case, I guess that was too much to hope for. I'll just have to get Arvak so that I can resummon him whenever he dies.

Something great for a mod about immersion for horses (i know it's already been mentioned) is the whistle ability where your horse comes running. But even better would be that if you use the ability to whistle that any followers you have would also use the ability because nothing is more immersion breaking than seeing your player/followers pull out a horn and blowing it only for a horse to magically teleport right next to you. I haven't read the entire thread so I'm not sure if this has been discussed further at all but this complaint about CH came up on reddit about followers teleporting their horses to them when they whistled for their horse and your mod got brought up and I figured I'd mention it here. It would be a great feature and it seems like you're doing a fantastic job so far on this mod and I look forward to further updates!
