Rolling Instant Cast - USLEP

SCI: Scroll instantly - no charging time required. No more swarming while you wait for the ridiculous charging animation to end. Once activated (one mouse click or hotkey), casting will turn off immediately. This will fix SIDWULF's old mod to work with the unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition patch (USLEP or USLeEP).

This is a fix by SIDWULF to the old module to make it work with the unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition patch (USLEP or USLeEP) and to fix some actual bugs in it.

=====

• No longer relies on the old Unofficial Skrim Patch (USKP) and Unofficial Dawnguard Patch (etc.) files, instead using the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition patch as a master.

*Fixed several instances where original data was completely corrupted. These will definitely cause CTD.

• Fixed multiple instances of invalid references (to MGEFs that existed in old USKP but not in USLEP). These will most likely result in CTD or at least malfunctioning spells.

*Keep fixes applied by USLEP but not present in USKP and therefore never implemented in the original SCI mod.

• Fixed master order to match LOOT loading order.
• Removed over 70 ITM errors (same as master records).
• Double check with Wrye Bash for any bugs, ITMs, UDRs and other issues.

*Trivia: Fixed the two "Foo Of The Bar" spelling names to "Foo of Bar" to match the rest of the orthography in the game (as well as lowercase letters for proper names and short prepositions and the definite article in middle names). There may be some other cases of overcapitalization; I just fixed the ones I stumbled upon.

Known issues

============

• The mod seems to change things in more ways than just the roll-and-shoot spells, including various item-activated spells, some regular spells, and some abilities. A cursory inspection shows that nothing has changed except for a short to zero casting time, although I didn't go through every line. This is the work and intent of the original author. I haven't done extensive playtesting of this to see its impact on game balance. I just created this hotfix version so I can use it from the get go since the original version doesn't work properly with USLEP.

But I think we're all tired of the slow cast speed of this game. Slow scrolling and gear enchantments are pointless. The whole point of them is that they store, fire, and throw away magic, and are not dependent on the caster's abilities. In the vanilla game, lag caused by slow scrolling etc. can often be fatal and render such enchantments useless. The speed is also inconsistent with previous TES games.

So while the mod may not be named accurately, I don't think it's a bug and maybe it should be renamed, or split into a scroll-only version and a wider version. There may already be other mods doing these things.

• I don't know of any way to "detect" the actual roll that triggers the magic, so there's no way to fix the roll of an added mod that adds new magic, or to have the same spell cast if it's not being cast from the scroll as far as I know.

Requirements and compatibility

===========================

*All three DLCs are required (Dawnguard, Heathfires, Dragonborn).

*Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch (USLEP).

• Whatever is required for USLEP (probably just Update.esm, and the latest version of Skryim with the official patch applied).

*If you use immersive sounds, you need to add a compatibility patch for it in the "Optional Files" section, otherwise some sounds will revert to their original sounds.

This should be compatible with everything (in USLEP games) except modifying the cast time of the same spell. If such a conflict occurs, whichever mod is loaded later will "win".
