DFU Movement Review - Walking/Running/Jumping/Falling

[Orbarth]

Too bad Daggerfall never had a "Riding" skill that could influence horses speed/jump.

[Interkarma]

I'm open to horses being able to jump a fixed height (not coupled with player skill) - and perhaps be able to clear some low obstacles the player cannot easily jump over, like those hedges.

[Ralzar]

Sounds like the best solution.

Yup, I like the idea too.

I found a new reliable way to get thru them: climb the wall to the top then, without releasing forward key, press the crouch key and you'll "fall" thru the window.

Just saw TalonHatesNames do Painting of Wayrest for the first time with 0.11.0 (he was using 0.10.27 before), and he had no issue going thru that window (both times).
I think what he did was jumping, then crouch in the air before he reached the window? In any case I managed to get thru the window that way, but it may depend more on jumping skill level, I'm not sure.

Honestly, as long as you can get thru it, Im ok

Agreed, players seem to find ways. And at least in DFU they don't clip into the Void

Yep that would be good. I just smacked into a fence jumping for the first time in o.11.0

Maybe still have it relate to player skill, but with a minimum so horses can always clear fences & hedges?

[pango]

I submitted a PR (minimalistic approach: constant jump height when on horse).

This is what I did in my recent Lord K'avar (mis)adventures on 0.11.0 as well. But it was after I gave up using other methods and gave up trying to find another way in. It was an epiphany born out of old Half Life muscle memory maybe... and I wasn't sure it was intended when I managed to get through by crouching in the air.

On the other hand, in hindsight this is a sequence of moves that makes sense. It's just strange that it's so hard to get through by other means.
