AKA MoreMagicLight

Adjusted the "Jaxonz'Light Please" hotkey caster so that it detects and uses more versions of Candlelight and Magelight. Added "More Magic of Light" (MoreMagicLight.esp).

Jaxonz Lights Please Patch for Light Mods: MoreMagicLight

ver。1.0,2019-04-12

by Darkloq and foamyesque (using some original code from Jaxonz, spell ID from Andrey059918)

This is version  MoreMagicLight. If you use More Light Spells (AdditionalLights) then this version is here.

This is part of a series of patches for Jaxonz' Light Please (JLP), a mod that gives you hotkeys for Candlelight and Magelight, and automatically casts Candlelight for you when switched. These patches can use mods to add improved versions of these spells to use the best version in your spell list. This does not take up additional mod slots, but replaces JaxonzLightsPlease.esp and one of the scripts.

There is no way to automatically detect such spells in the spell list, so it must be patched on a mod-by-mod basis. As of 1.0, two mods have JLP patches:

This patch is for: More Magic Light (AKA more magic light, more magic light.esp) by Andrey059918

The other patches are: More Light Spells (AdditionalLights.esp) by nickudell

Each patch has a separate version, suitable for both fast and "potato" PCs. The fast PC version automatically checks for new light spells in the mod every time the script fires. There are no versions for low-end machines; if you get a new spell and want to use it with JLP, you must register it (see below). You can also manually add custom spelling entries in all versions.

Jaxonz' lights please

This patch, specifically for JLP with MoreMagicLight. It replaces ESP and JLP with one script.

Install and load them in order. Otherwise the load order doesn't matter, since no other modules are known to interfere with any of them.

Installation - New

If you are not yet a Jaxonz'Lights Please user, just install the requirements and make sure JaxonzLightsPlease.esp is loaded after the other light modules (it will have hardcoded dependencies).

Launch the game and set the JLP hotkey in its MCM.

Installation - Upgrade

If you are already a Lights Please user by Jaxonz, please launch the game before installing and then save with no JLP effects running (i.e. you have no active Candlelight or Magelight). Exit the game and proceed with the installation.

The patched version of JLP you are installing depends on the other optical modules you now select and must be loaded after it. Since this dependency is a hardcoded master, LOOT should not interfere with this issue, but depending on your mod management application (WryeBash, MMO, etc.) you may have to manually change your load order to comply.

After setting the load order, you should rebuild the Bashed Patch in Wrye Bash.

Load the game with a clean "no JLP effects" save, then go to JLP's MCM and make sure its hotkeys are set to what you want. I actually recommend resetting them temporarily (as described in the first item in "Registering a New Light Spell" below) to make sure the JLP knows something has changed and will reinitialize.

uninstall

Make sure all JLP effects are off (no Magelight or Candlelight active). save. Exit the game. Remove this mod. Reinstall the original JLP, then restart the game if that was your intention, then reload the save. Save again, exit and restart again, load second save, save again, reload save. You are now in a save clean state.

If you also intend to delete MoreMagicLight.esp or AdditionalLights.esp, after confirming that neither is active, use spell removal mode or the console to remove any spells they added from your spell list and perform the same type of clean save procedure.

merge

To merge this mod and save the mod slot, use the Merge Plugins xEdit Script by MatorTheEternal. This "merging" retains the owner's FormID. Do not use the standalone merge plugin application (it merges down, changing the master's FormIDs to suit those available in the mod associate …
