Installation Instructions:

Download the main file with a mod manager or manually place the DLL file in the plugins folder.
Run the mod to create a config file and YML file
Add prefab names to YML file or copy/paste mount configs from the wiki
- By default only adds mounting to Wolf and Boar
Modify the config file meldurson.MountUpRestored.cfg in your config folder

If you want to share the configs or see what others have done for configs you can go here

Setting Up Mount Instructions:

Instructions

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

Version 3.2.11

Known Issues:

Scaling with size of creature is not perfect, for best results adjust mount on a 0 star creature
- If using All Tameable with DNA traits enabled, either disable traits for adjusting mounts or find a 0 star creature that is close to 100% scale
Hatchlings are not meant to land in vanilla so if you do land a hatchling the animation is a little off
When flying there is some visual jittering of the creature
When attempting to mount a saddle far above your head, you might take fall damage
If a creature is too big it will just slide and not be able to run

Future Plans:

~~Have many more tiers of saddle~~
~~Have more visual models of saddles~~
~~Ability to specify custom saddle items (for recipe, not for visual)~~
~~Allow for attacking while mounted~~
Fix fall damage issue
