MountUpRestored

• To add a new creature to be mountable from scratch the first step is to add it to the YML file
  • To add a creature to the MountList, add the prefab name to a new line followed by a colon ":" such as for a Drake, the prefab name is Hatchling

  • Hatchling:
    

• When you encounter this creature for the first time the full config will be completed written and attempt to stick the saddle to the correct part of the creature
  • The mountpath is the bone of the creature that the saddle will be stuck to.
  • When loading the creature for the first time, it will output the mountpath to the Bepinex window along with other alternatives it has found.
    • You can copy/paste these alternatives into the mountpath of the yml if you want to change the bone the saddle is stuck to.
• To modify the location of the saddle and where the player sits (as by default it most likely will not be in the correct position) you will have to enable adjustments in the config
• In the config meldurson.MountUpRestored.cfg set Enable Adjust Custom Mounts = true
• Now once you are in the world with adjustments enabled you will need to attach a saddle.
  • The default saddle tier of a config is tier 5 (Plains Tier)
  • You will need to use the correct tier saddle on the creature, and it will then equip the saddle on the creature
• The Tiers are 1-8: Each tier corresponds to a biome (1:Meadows,2:Black Forest,3:Swamp...etc)
• The saddle tier specifies what visual saddle you want and has an item to go along with it. If you want to overwrite the item that is used you can set the customSaddle to a specific tier such as:

  • Dragon:
        saddleTier: 4
        customSaddle: 6
    

  • This will give Modor a tier 4 (Mountains) visual saddle but require a Tier 6 (Mistlands) saddle to be used as the saddle item
  • You can also specify another item by prefab name such as:

  • GoblinBrute:
        saddleTier: 5
        customSaddle: SaddleLox
    

  • This will give Fueling Berserkers a tier 5 (Plains) visual but you will use a standard Lox saddle as the item
• If you want a more traditional simple saddle you can set the saddle tier to 0 (this will be default add the saddle item to be Tier 5 Saddle)
• There is a possiblity you cannot see the saddle in its current location, or you can see it but cannot mount it, in this case you can use Alt+E to force mount the saddle (I reccomend enabling god mode before this as it does not check distance and can cause damage)
• Onced mounted can now enter edit mode (controls at top of screen) and move the saddle and mount point and rotate the both saddle and mountpoint
  • It is reccomended to cycle controls to rotate first
  • Once you want to save the current location and rotation you can with Ctrl+S which writes it to the YML file
• Currently you cannot change the scale of the saddle when editing in game, you have to edit the scale in the YML
• To reload the YML file, logout and log in
• Due to scaling issues, you may need to reload and adjust the forward/back once or twice for it to scale correctly with different levels of creatures
