describe

SKSE utility plugin that allows modders to add spells to every NPC actorbase in the game on startup.

These spells will be added to their base NPC record and therefore will not be deleted after transitioning to a new loading area, which will happen with any spells added using AddSpell().

This also means no capes or quest aliases are needed - the spell will be added to every possible actor's library, including summons or extras.

Spells should be written to an ini file in the Data folder containing the suffix "_DISTR" (for example, MySpellMod_DISTR.ini).

They should follow the following format: ; Spell = FormID | esp/esm/esl | Keyword A, Keyword B, ...

spell=0x00012345 | MySpellMod.esp | ActorTypeNPC, ActorTypeCreature

Spell=0x0006789A | MySpellMod.esp | Actor Type

0x00012345 is the FormID of the spell with the first two load order numbers removed.

MySpellMod.esp is the name of the esp/esm/esl that contains the spell record, for example "Skyrim.esm".

ActorTypeNPC, ActorTypeCreature are keyword strings that can be used to filter NPCs to which spells are added. You can add multiple keywords separated by commas "". If you leave this blank, your spells will be added to every actorbase (6000+).

Please check the po3_SpellDistributor.log file in My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SKSE for more information on the process, including how many NPCs these spells are added to.

Install

Description

A SKSE utility plugin that allows modders to add spells to every NPC actorbase in the game, at startup.

These spells will be added to their base NPC record, and therefore will be not removed after transitioning to a new loaded area, which happens to any spell added using AddSpell().

This also means there is no need for cloaks or quest aliases - the spell will be added to every possible actorbase, including summons or temporary actors.

Spells should be written to an ini file containing the suffix "_DISTR", in the Data folder (for example, MySpellMod_DISTR.ini).

They should follow this format:;Spell = FormID | esp/esm/esl | keywordA, keywordB,...

Spell = 0x00012345 | MySpellMod.esp | ActorTypeNPC, ActorTypeCreature

Spell = 0x0006789A | MySpellMod.esp | ActorTypeNPC

0x00012345 is the FormID of the spell with the first two load order digits removed.

MySpellMod.esp is the name of the esp/esm/esl containing the spell record, for example "Skyrim.esm".

ActorTypeNPC, ActorTypeCreature are keyword strings you can use to filter which NPCs to add spells to. You can add multiple keywords, separated by a comma ", ". If you leave this blank, your spells will be added to EVERY actorbase (6000+).

Check po3_SpellDistributor.log file in My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SKSE, for more information about the process, including how many NPCs the spells were added to.
