BAT power

[b]Description[/b]
Turn Coen into a cloud of bats and fly through the world with configurable movement, swarm appearance, transformation effects, audio and camera FOV. 

[b]Installation instructions[/b]
1. Install [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/18]UE4SS for Dawnwalker[/url] and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/271]Mod Setting Menu[/url].
2. Use only one flight mod.
3. Extract the archive into your game installation root. The final script must be at Dawnwalker/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/BatSwarmFlight/Scripts/main.lua. With Vortex, verify this destination, then enable and deploy.
4. For feeding and Hunger cost, also install the Optional VampireHunger package. For passive-flight stealth, also install the Optional Predation package. Each includes the complete matching mod and flight integration; no manual patches or separate donor downloads are needed. Disable any existing copy of the corresponding mod first; do not mix versions.
5. Open the game. Open Mod Settings > Bat Swarm Flight and press Apply after changing options.
6. Back up settings.ini before updates; the supplied preset can replace an older configuration.

Controls: V toggles flight; WASD moves; Space rises; Left Ctrl descends; Left Shift sprints; Left Alt slows flight. C toggles swarm feeding with the Optional VampireHunger package installed.

[list]
[]Separate normal, sprint and slow flight speeds.[/]
[]Native bat variants, flock density and shape, movement-state offsets, local bat speed, follow speed and wingbeat controls.[/]
[]Hide Coen, keep him visible, or add a separately configured single-bat effect alongside the surrounding swarm.[/]
[]Expand on entry and gather on exit, with timing, compact spread and exit flock-steering controls. Exit sound plays on the button press; gathering finishes before mist and Coen's reveal.[/]
[]Crossfaded flight audio, entry/exit cues, sprint audio and red vignette.[/]
[]Speed-based FOV that can widen or narrow as speed increases.[/]
[]Automatic flight exit when the game's Death from Above action is accepted; it does not unlock the ability.[/]

[b]Requirements[/b]
[list]
[][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/18]UE4SS for Dawnwalker[/url], or an equivalent compatible runtime. Install its own requirements first.[/]
[][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/271]Mod Setting Menu[/url] for the in-game controls; integration checked with 1.0.7.1.[/]
[]Optional: [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/645]The Blood of Daywalker[/url] for the alternate sprint sound. Without it, the original Mercurial Fervour event plays.[/]
[]Optional VampireHunger package: enables swarm feeding and sprint Hunger consumption. Includes [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/779]nickraven's Vampire Hunger[/url] and the required flight integration.[/]
[]Optional Predation package: enables passive-flight stealth. Includes [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/thebloodofdawnwalker/mods/778]camgoatman's Predation[/url] 1.0.0 and the required flight integration. Install this complete package instead of another Predation version.[/]
[/list]Core flight works with UE4SS and Mod Setting Menu alone. Install both optional packages for feeding/Hunger and stealth, plus The Blood of Daywalker if you want its alternate sprint sound.
