Simple horse system by Grani
========================
This is a package containing all that is necessary to introduce horses to your module. There are 12 standard horses included (black, white, brown and spotted, each available saddled, armored and heavily armored), 4 tournament horses and 4 special horses (black pegasus, unicorn, rainbow unicorn and nightmare), 20 horses in total.
All the dialogs and descriptions are available in Polish and in English.
Feel free to modify it in any way you see necessary. Giving credit is appreciated but not needed.
I wanted to create a horse system that could be easily incorporated into any module and in which players could keep their horses as items so that their mounts wouldn't be lost when starting a new module, etc.
If you implement this into your module, you might want to configure the module so that it suits horses better in general.
Go here in this case: Link
How to use these horses in your module:
-import .erf package (if it asks you to override anything, don't do it)
-give players access to horse chains (found in custom items "Miscellaneous"), e.g. by adding them to a shop
-put a Hitching Rail of Summoning object (found in custom object "Miscellaneous") wherever you want
How it works:
When a player with a horse chain talks to the Hitching Rail of Summoning, he or she can summon corresponding horse via conversation. This summoning strips the player off the chain. A summoned horse will automatically be assigned to the player who summoned it, preventing someone else from assigning it to themselves.
The horse can be fed by its owner or any other non-hostile player, which replenishes its health just like in case of feeding a familiar or animal companion. Horse's owner also can choose to unsummon the horse via conversation. When the horse is unsummoned, a corresponding chain is given to its owner so that they can summon the horse again.
Known bug:
-Pegasus has no wings when mounted - this is an issue with CEP models and not specifically this system. You can simply not use pegasi if this is a problem.
Inform me of any other bugs you might encounter and I will do my best to remove them. Still, I'm not a scripter, really, so I might not know how to solve it. :(
A sample module is included so that you can check for yourself how this works in practice.
Hope you like it!
Update: Thanks to Hanzo666, the bug which caused summoned horses not to be visible to the summoner has now been removed. A non-CEP version of the package has also been added, which does not need any hak paks. In this version there is no unicorn, rainbow unicorn or pegasus, the model of the hitching rail of summoning is the default hitching post model and all horse chains have the same non-CEP icons.

Received it, tried it, love it! This is exactly what I was looking for and I'll be using it in the personal module I've been working on. Thank you so much.

Hey Grani, thanks but it does not seem to have come through. Could you send to [email protected] instead. Thanks. _________________________ The Frenchman
In the meantime, I can upload any files you need to some other site if you want. Just tell me which ones you'd like to download, or all of them. :)

It's very strange, and has happened to me with other files as well. If I left click on the file it takes me to a text version. If I right click it only allows me to download a text document. I don't think this is due to you... I think I will have to contact Maximus at site help... _________________________ The Frenchman
Nalnorn, how is it coming as a text file? There should be four files for you to download: simplehorses.erf, which is the version not requiring CEP, Granis_test_mod.mod, which is a non-CEP demo, horsesCEP.erf, which is the version for CEP and Granis_test_mod_CEP.mod, which is its demo. I can download it without any problems and looking at downloads counter, it looks like others can, too. Could you explain the problem in more detail?

Hey, any reason why this is coming up as a text file rather than something I can download? This looks like exactly what I've been looking for!
Help gratefully received, Nalnorn. _________________________ The Frenchman

Hello, we spoke on Facebook and I have fixed your visual bug, added an option to mount your horse from the conversation of the hitching rail.
And sent you a version of this system for NWN 1.69 (with all expansion) for those who wants a version without CEP.
This system is simple and exactly what I wanted for my Persistent World. Thank you.
Now that the bugs are fixed I give it a 10
