I was inspired by the one handed spears and javelin mod, but I wasn't quite happy with the hoops that mod had to go through. It actually makes the spears one handed swords, and switches your spear and sword skill when you have them equipped. If spear is one of your main skills, you wouldn't get points added toward your level while you were actually levelling up your 1h longsword skill.
I know the openmw devs have said they plan on allowing custom weapon types, probably post 1.0. In the meantime, I wrote a patch for the current git master which adds the one-handed spear type to openmw, and a mod which changes all of the spears to one handed. Halberds I left alone. I believe they were used two handed. They should probably be longer and do more damage, and the spears should be held further back from the shaft in the animations, but that's a problem for another time. Javelins should be a separate mod, IMO.
Also I confirmed that the patch/mod works and that using the weapons do improve the spear skill, but they don't show the weapon type "Spear, One Handed" when you mouse over them. I couldn't figure out how to fix that bit.
Mod is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3fzb ... 0xuaHNUTG8
patch is below. Patch is, of course, GPLv3.
