Improved horse management

Improved Horse Controls is a standalone Next-Gen version of Alternate Horse Controls from KCS, ksolberg. It runs on version 4.04.

The description is a modification of the original description from the author's page (KCS).

-CONTROL.

Reins (Control):

The left stick or motion keyboard (WASD for Qwerty) controls the reins.

Roach moves exactly as instructed:

Pull the reins to the left and your horse will turn to the left.

Pull the reins to the right and your horse will turn to the right.

Gently pull the reins back and the horse will slow down.

Pull back a little longer (for a second or so) and you bring the horse to a complete stop. 

Pull back when the horse is not moving and you make it move backwards. [Function from Next Gen Update]

Spurs (acceleration/deceleration):

A/Cross or left Shift button increases spurs/speed.

(Soft) tilting down the left stick or keyboard backward (S for Qwerty) reduces spur/speed.

No more holding the button for full gallop or gallop. Now, by default, the A/Cross button or the left Shift button increases the speed, and moving backward decreases it. And Roach will support this speed!

Mod offers 5 speeds:

Slow

Walking

Lynx

Galop

Galop

You can still press A/Cross or left Shift to gallop Spurs. Or double long press for full gallop (with the possibility of beautiful animation).

Spurs Forward:

Leaning up the left stick or keyboard forward (A for Qwerty) controls the spurs forward.

If you don't move, you can immediately go to full lynx speed using the "Forward" command, as in vanilla.

This will even cause auto-acceleration if you pull the reins left or right.

Disabling this feature will allow you to control the speed completely.

-STEERING MODES-

Standard control mode: (default)

allows you to select the "Explore" or "Horse Racing" mode.

During the ride, if you move forward and move the camera, your horse will move in the direction the camera is pointing.

If you stop holding forward, you will be able to move the camera and use the reins to control the horse. 

Alternative steering: (when Standard Steering is off)

You have complete control of the camera and the horse, they are separated, but connected, they are both leaders and never follow one another.

Your horse can also rotate 360° simply by pressing one side.

ADDITIONAL FASHION FEATURES:

— Controlled slow motion to maneuver at high speed. At full gallop, activation of Witcher Sense starts slow motion (bullet time). This greatly facilitates the passage of difficult turns and jumping over obstacles at high speed.

— Improves the timing of Geralt voice commands delivered to Roach. When you say "Wow!", it happens in the right context. When you shout, "Run, Roach!", it happens in the right context. Since Geralt's voice commands facing Roach do make sense based on your current actions, there's no longer a sense that Geralt is yelling at Roach for no reason.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES FROM NEXT GEN AUTHORS INCLUDE:

- Add input to toggle the "Turn off road tracking" option. Typing "9" for keyboard and mouse only.

- Free-access mods included:

Roach Never Stops, by lasyan3 (option: Unstoppable)

An idea from Strahlimeier.
