A small request, maybe someone else could find it useful.

 

This script introduces a force in the opposite direction when you are running. As consequence, you will run slower, but your animation speed will be the same. This more or less tries to emulate the different speed effect you achieve with controller pads.

 

It only slow downs forward and backward movements, side movements will be at the normal speed.

 

To slowdown the run just hold the hotkey (default Q, can be redefined via MCM)

 

You can change the amount of speed on the MCM >>> higher Smoothness = lower speed

 

To install, just unpack it on Data, as always, and check the ESP on the Load Order (or use a mod manager). Position on the Load Order is uninfluent.

To uninstall, just remove the ESP from the folder and make a clean save.

Recent NVSE (4+) is required.

MCM is optional, it's required to reconfigure the parameters.

 

No vanilla ID modifies - I can't think to any possible conflicts.

 

Comparative video to show what I was meaning, if it's not so much clear:

When I think about what I would like to achieve when I am playing...

 

When out of combat, I would like to be able to simulate being able to choose how fast I move, and I would not mind a certain amount of fiddling to achieve that - wasd would represent accelleration, perhaps, and the longer I hold them down the faster i move.

 

But that would not work in combat. In combat, I want to be able to violently change my movement. So here, I start needing to think about how acceleration changes over time.

 

Plus I am used to "holding down the key means move steadily". And in some games I am used to "double tap means dodge".

 

So... I am starting to think like in terms of a curve like the capacitor voltage thing here: https://microchip.wdfiles.com/local--files/asp0107:square-wave-oscillators/square_wave_osc_waveform.jpg.

 

Except it's not quite like that, because we can hold down the key for the opposite direction when we want to move that way.

 

But... with thought and play testing, maybe we can approach joystick levels of velocity control using wasd...? (I can dream, even if maybe I cannot think things through adequately...)

[A.J.]

unfortunately a keyboard will never be a joystick ... however the lack of acceleration could be veeeeery positive, especially on pvp...

Woah , Just had an idea cuz of sen4mi.

Hey A.J. correct me if I'm wrong but are you fallout2AM? lol XD

Ok back to the idea, long ago I have created a dodge animation for fallout, they are still here. Some were tweaked dodges from a lost mod created by saiden storm. He abandoned the mod and removed it completely thus the dodge feature of the mod was never put up. So i did a little something, i renamed the corresponding dodges to jump left, jump right, and jump back, it emulates the dodge, but removes the regular jump. Maybe you can put a hotkey like you did here to play the dodge anim?

If you want to give it a try reply or pm to me, I'll send you the dodges

 

EDIT : wait a sec I'll show you the dodges.

[A.J.]

there's already something like that, Hitman did the dodge from scratch and I did some scripting, it should be somewhere here if noone removed it

I remember some dodge animations that were made once, but they were derived from Oblivion's dodge. I would be careful in checking that first. Using an asset like that would mean a warning in the best case and a one-way ticket to ban in the worst, on nexus

This is what I meant. Dang youtube taking so long to upload 19mb file

 

Tweaked some of it, I don't think this came from Oblivion tho

 

Yeah I tried using hitman's dodge, but it lacked the left and right dodges. Maybe Left and right direction + Dodge key = play dodge animation on corresponding directions.

 

[A.J.]

no they don't seem the ones from Oblivion, absolutely, I would feel pretty confortable to exclude this. However, the backflip seems nice, but the other ones seem a lil strange to me. Maybe it could deserve making some more work on them or re-do from scratch

[Mailamea]

Yep. Im no good with animations thats why they arent smooth. Cool. Well tell me if you want the files. Movement key + dodge key for different directional dodges can work, right?

[A.J.]

oh I find dodge animations, or a jump, or in general movements, a pain to be done in a smooth way, they really require a lot of time and never seem super fine.

A script that handle dodge + directions will work, sure. The only downsides are it won't allow diagonal movement, unless a specific diagonal dodge is made, and it would require first person animations too (or first person could be simply excluded via script, like the script won't work if you're on first person)

You can use A.J's anim tool in the meantime to set up hotkeys for dodges or rolls.

Cool hope I still know a little bit of geck scripting. Diagonal dodge movements aren't a big part, left and right are already mind blowing since there are no dodges or roll dodge that exist in fallout. Well there is the hitman roll tho, but the anim doesn't fit the "Dodge"

 

First person anims , hmmm maybe a script that will force you to third when you are dodging.

Really? Cool. Is there a guide or tutorial on how to set it up? or attach keys to anims?

[vixenfinder]

Very nice, Do you think you'll be able to port this animation for Skyrim. It's sorely missing some better jogging/running animations.

[A.J.]

I never modded Skyrim, except creating an island on the GECK. The animations and the skeleton are different, it would require me to learn them first, and I'm too busy with Fallout right now. In the future, probably, but not now unfortunately.

 

However my assets are all free to be taken, usually, just some credits are nice if someone think they are deserved
