A super simple mod that will put the shield on the player's back rather than the arm.

Wonger's Shield on Back 

This is a super simple mod that will change the shield to appear on the player's back rather than on the arm when your weapon is not drawn.
(Mod does not affect NPC shields only the player character).
This is my very first mod and I am very new to modding so any feedback is welcome!

WARNING: As of update 0.4 the mod will now generate a save file to store your presets. When you unistall this mod you MUST delete this save file:
(Documents\My Games\OblivionRemastered\Saved\SaveGames\WongersSlot.SAV)
Oblivion Remaster will load every save on launch so this file will cause a crash if the mod is not installed!

WARNING: This mod seems to be very unstable on gamepass version of Oblivion as users have reported their games/saves crashing.


Those updated to 0.5 wil not be required to delete the save file!
(Thank you everyone for all the feedback and reports on the crashes)



Post 0.3 Will not be released for SML due to the mod being unstable with SML. Apologies to everyone using SML.

0.3 and before does not require this step


------------------------------------
How to use:

Once installed properly the shield should just appear on your back!
If not try drawing and sheathing your weapon or unequiping and re-equiping the shield.
May need to reload save after installation

0.4:use '=/+' to access the adjustment menu!

0.5 onwards:
use 'P' to access the adjustment menu!
Use the Rebind Button to set your prefered binding!


------------------------------------
Requirements:

For now due to this mod being created using Ureal Blueprints, you will need Simple BP ModLoader OR UE4SS for OblivionRemastered by KZekai to load the mod.


------------------------------------
How to Install:

I haven't tested using Vortex or Mod Organizer so ensure all the files are located in the correct location:

UE4SS Version:
(Warning: This Vortex or Mod Oraniszer does not always work with this mod currently you may need to manually install)
1.  Download and Install UE4SS for OblivionRemastered.
(IF NOT WORKING YOU MAY NEED TO UPDATE TO LATEST VERSION).

2. Download the Mod Zip file and extract the files into :  \Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks\LogicMods
  If you dont have a 'LogicMods' folder just create it. 
3. Launch Oblivion Remastered

4. Load any Save

SML Version:

1.  Download and Install Simple BP ModLoader.

2. Download the Mod Zip file and extract the files into :  \Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks\~mods
  If you dont have a '~mods' folder just create it. 
3. Launch Oblivion Remastered (If you see a text pop-up in the top left corner of your screen saying 'Simple Mod Loader...' you are on the right track!)

4. Load any save 

5. Open the console (¬ the button below 'Escape' and above 'Tab')

6. Enter/Paste this into your console:


mod add /Script/Engine.Blueprint'/Game/Mods/WongersShieldMod/WongShieldActor.WongShieldActor'

SML 0.4.0 :
mod add /Game/Mods/WongersShieldMod/WongShieldActor.WongShieldActor


Thats it! you should see your shield appear on your character's back!
if you already had a shield equipped and try drawing and sheathing your weapon or unequiping and re-equiping the shield.

SML will automatically load this mod for you everytime you open the game so you only need to do this once!

------------------------------------
How to Uninstall:

UE4SS Version:

Delete:
WongersShieldMod.pak
WongersShieldMod.ucas
WongersShieldMod.utoc 

from your LogicMods folder

As of update 0.4 the mod will now generate a save file to store your presets. When you unistall this mod you MUST delete this save file:
(Documents\My Games\OblivionRemastered\Saved\SaveGames\WongersSlot.SAV)
Oblivion Remaster will load every save on launch so this file will cause a crash if the mod is not installed!


SML Version:

Delete:
WongersShieldMod_P.pak
WongersShieldMod_P.ucas
WongersShieldMod_P.utoc 

from your ~mods folder

SML will try and load this mod unsuccessfully after these files are deleted but it won't affect the game.
If you wish to clear this mod from SML modlist type

'mod validate' into the console and it will validate and clear any missing mods.
