Mod to change disarm please

[Sleepytime]

I am sick and tired of my weapons vanishing soon as they touch the ground after a NPC disarms my character, has anyone made a mod that will just put the disarmed weapon into the players inventory? If not will someone please make one.

 

It is bad enough scrambling around looking for the weapon on the ground with X number of NPCs bashing on you, but more than not the weapon will just disappear altogether and leave little choice but to reload a older save game file or kiss your favorite weapon goodbye. Neither choice leaves the player very happy with the game.

What weapon are you using that disappears by sinking into the ground? It sounds like a defective custom weapon rather than a vanillla Oblivion one. Weapons that are modeled with badly-done collision can sink into the ground and disappear.

 

Someone may show up to prove me wrong, but I believe that the disarming is hard-coded into the game and is not really very modable. I suspect there are not a lot of good conditions useful for checking your armed or disarmed state. Such a script would also need to record what weapon you are using at all times so that it will know what the last weapon you were using was right before you were disarmed.

 

There are several approaches that I know about that can be used to deal with your issue.

 

(1) Learn the console code for adding another copy of your lost weapon to your inventory.

 

Player.AddItem ZZXXXXXX 1 

(Where ZZ = the two hexidecimal characters denoting the position in your load order of the .esp or .esp the weapon came from. Consult Wrye Bash to get these characters.

Where XXXXXX = the last six characters of the Base ID number of the weapon. Consult the CS, a wiki, or a modder to get this number.)

 

(2) Create a mod with spell that you can cast to add one copy of your favorite weapon to your inventory.

 

(3) Create a mod that uses a quest script to constantly monitor your inventory and detect whether or not you possess a copy of your weapon. The script would add one copy of the weapon to your inventory when it discovered you had lost yours. The default is that the script runs every five seconds, but that could be changed with a tradeoff of a slightly heavier load on your system.

 

These options would be a lot nicer than backing up to a savegame or just losing your weapon forever, but they would have to be custom tailored to a specific weapon rather than universally applicable.

Thank you for the reply, i am use Oscuro's Overhaul and yes i only really notice the dropped weapons that vanish are the ones included in his mod. In WoW when you get disarmed the weapon is simply unequipped instead of falling to the ground, would there be anyway to mimic that system instead of having to make copies?
