Cradle

Cradle 1.0.2

• Cradle / Cradle Vanguard: the Dismount, Reload and Horizontal boost keys now also work when another mod uses the same key, or when the key press does not reach the key binding. While you are riding a Cradle, the key you assigned in Controls is read directly from the keyboard or mouse, as well as through the normal key-binding queue. Default keys are unchanged (Left Alt to dismount, R to reload, V for the horizontal boost). A reload still needs a Longhammer Drum in your inventory (not in Creative) and does nothing while the drum is full.
• Cradle Vanguard: holding Use now brings the shield across the front of the cockpit canopy to cover the pilot, instead of lifting it up to the left; the shield slides down the forearm so the glass is fully covered, and in first person it stays low on the left so the view stays clear.
• Cradle Vanguard: the blade swing is now a real slash - wind-up over the right shoulder, a diagonal cut across the front from upper right to lower left with the edge leading, follow-through to the left hip and recovery, with the torso turning into it. Hit timing is unchanged.
• Cradle Vanguard and Cradle (Longknife slash): the shoulder blocks now turn with the arms. They used to ride only on the shoulder rail, so they stayed level while the arm swung up underneath them; they now follow 60% of the upper arm's movement around the shoulder joint. The arm, blade and shield paths and the hit timing are unchanged, and the standing pose and the first-person view look the same as before.
