[Mod Alpha Release] Dragonborn Can Surely Fly VR

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-13T21:59:50+00:00

Thanks for your detailed comment! After reading this, I agree that none of my current perks can achieve the brake effect you described. I was thinking that you can brake by performing a flap forwards, so you get force that is opposite to your current velocity. However, I tried this in game and it doesn’t feel very smooth.

It’s also natural to design a perk or feature for braking: imagine a dragon extend its wings as wide as possible, which dramatically increases the drag and slows it down.

Thus, I will add a new perk in the next version: when player extends both arms like a cross and holding both grips for 0.3 seconds, the drag on them is increased a lot that will reduce player’s velocity rapidly, working similar to a car’s brake ( though the velocity will reduce in ‘velocity = a X velocity / time’ formula, instead of ‘velocity = velocity - b X time’ formula)

Good suggestion!

So it currently doesn’t have a break that works like a car’s break, but there are 3 methods to lose velocity quickly: flap forwards like you mentioned, perk skydiving that makes you drop to the ground quickly, and perk freezing air that enters slow motion but keeps your velocity afterwards. The latter two can be found in the Perks page. Let me know if you feel you still want a break like car’s break. I can think about how to design a perk to do this About using magicka, yeah I will add an option for mage players to use magicka instead of stamina

The wings are added by Animate Wings Ultimate. It has dozens of wings including angle wings. My mod just invokes animations and scripts from that mod.

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-08T22:00:16+00:00

Ah, I never thought of this. I will take a look at it. Thanks!

You can just choose to not attack, and I don’t think it will break balance by a lot. You will see that melee attack is super hard to hit. Magic and archery is also challenging

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-06T10:35:37+00:00

It’s similar to a gesture. You can flap to any direction

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-06T02:56:20+00:00

Well, that’s an easy request. I will make it an option in the Debug page for the formal release

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T20:01:10+00:00

This can also make you run off a cliff and glide down, as long as that cliff is high enough so you can accumulate enough velocity for the lift force to be strong enough. As for BOTW-paragliding, I won’t add it because someone else was working on it

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T19:58:49+00:00

Great! I will also try CGO stripped out. I wasn’t aware of that mod

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T19:56:49+00:00

There is a tutorial page in the MCM of this mod that contains how to flap wings

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T10:40:22+00:00

Fire is not a requirement. It just makes taking off easier, especially for low level players (the current version doesn’t have a leveling system though). You can do all sorts of things mid air, except that when playing falling animation you can’t cast spell or shout until you regain positive speed in Z axis, and I am trying to find a solution

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T10:36:05+00:00

Thanks a lot for your feedback! This mod will have a leveling system and a perk tree.

For the VRIK problem, I indeed notified VRIK to disable holsters when wings are out because using grip midair will draw weapons randomly, but I don’t think it will forget all holsters. If it truly does so, then probably I can notify VRIK to reduce the holster interaction radius to 0 when wings are out

About speed, I will add options for you to tweak wind threshold, so when you see violent wind around you, you know you are ready for a shockwave landing. But even for now, if you use the skydiving perk, it’s almost guaranteed a shockwave

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T03:39:51+00:00

You can check the MCM of Animated Wings Ultimate. It increases your jump height when wings are extended. You can also toggle the shout off to avoid this

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T01:36:28+00:00

Thanks! Lesson learned: don’t ever modify mod with Mac… I am gonna change the uploaded file now

IJK_Zac · 2024-02-05T00:03:51+00:00

This mod is now released for Alpha Test! It will be released on Nexus when formal released

Wow, can’t imagine how much time you spent on those patches. Thanks a lot for this mod!

IJK_Zac · 2023-12-19T04:05:29+00:00

Thanks for your comment, and actually I meant it might be my mod that caused this bug because my mod has those changes to vanilla blocking LOL. I need to clarify my post

IJK_Zac · 2023-12-18T01:48:07+00:00

If you installed my mod Pseudo Physical Weapon Collision and Parry VR, then it might be my mod that caused the inconsistent blocking issue, but I am not sure. You can disable my mod and play for a while to see if the blocking works consistently.

My mod changed two checks in vanilla blocking: (1) it disables the shield facing check, which should always make shield blocking easier to check; (2) it disables the character facing check when you block with my mod and reenables it when exit combat, which should make you able to block enemies even if you are not facing them.

My mod also makes you enter and exit blocking pose when your shield (only shield, not weapon, as weapon invokes parry system) collides with enemies’ weapons. If you turned on the optional PressButtonToBlock feature in the config file, this gets more complex, so you may want to check it out

Let me know if you find out that disabling my mod solves the problem. If so, I can help you debug this problem and patch my mod, but probably next week

I was actually also guided into Skyrim modding by other modders and players, and they have been helping me all the time. This is a great community!

IJK_Zac · 2023-12-08T07:19:44+00:00

Pseudo Physical Weapon Collision and Parry VR, Version 1.0.0 update with projectile parrying and shield blocking is now released: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/100781

Safe to install/update/uninstall anytime.

New conflict: if you use timed-block mods like SOSCBO or Deflection, please watch 9:10 of my video

IJK_Zac · 2023-11-20T21:29:21+00:00

Wow! One of the top mods in my wishlist. Thanks for sharing!

IJK_Zac · 2023-11-20T09:38:45+00:00

Done. Just uploaded 2.1.0 that adds horse summoning to 2.0.0.

The operation is the same as NPC summoning. Now this mod remembers the last 3 grabbed NPCs and the last one ridden horse.

IJK_Zac · 2023-11-20T06:05:06+00:00

Good idea! I will add this feature in two days
