Automation Tools for TES5Edit - Suggestions Thread

Id like to make a tool sugegstion, if I may :D

 

I recently have made a small mod that adds several weapons and a shield to teh game, but to make enchanted versions of the weapons/shield and adding them to the loot/level lists is soooo much work.

 

So my request/suggestion is, a Script that automatically creates Enchanted Versions of mod specific items and adds them to the Level/Loot lists within that mod?

Was wondering about a formlist override merge script, (example).

I noticed that neither the merge patch nor the bashed patch are addressing formlist overwrites like the above. The reason I'm asking is that in PerMa the magic skill perks (Novice Destruction etc.) grant a random spell from different form lists (the picture is for conjuration apprentice) and with several different magic mods the lists get overwritten and the user has to load the prefered magic mod last. Having an edit script to do that would be much easier than having to manually make a pile of patches for every combination of magic mods.

Ty, just checked it out and it looks really good! handles the formlists perfectly.

 

The info in the linked Nexus page seems outdated though, points to v0.9.1 with dead links.

Suggestion here.


I think a database of all the alchemy properties and their common values would be very handy. I myself messed up with the magnitude and length of alchemy properties on my ingredients. Which made for overpowered game breaking potions. I would love to see a script to check all the properties on the ingredients, and make them equal with vanilla Skyrim values. I would gladly gather all the values for the properties, and I would also put them all into the script if a template was provided. I think this would be a very handy tool, as it could fix mods like Bugs 101 which is constantly said to have bad values.


Of course this seems like one massive script. So that's why I offer my help. :P

I have an old feature request on Mod Organizer that I think you can help solve.

 

It would involve hooking into the MO Plugin API to get your xEdit processes exposed there for MO to use.

 

Possible uses would include assisting with plugin dependency graphing, helping MO figure out which assets are best to use, and supporting the clean MO style of merged mod life cycle. Specifically, the clear many-to-one relationship illustrated here between a merged mod (which behaves as a patch and partial replacement of assets), where the child merged mod has to be remade every time the parent sources are updated separately in MO.

 

Because MO provides what it does, xEdit Merge should work as an automated or user-guided process, where rebuilding a merged mod is triggered by the event of updating one of its sources. That requires MO to be aware of a special "merged mod" type, and to at least have access to an invocation of xEdit that will batch the job of reproducing the merger (or handing off to the user an xEdit instance preloaded for that).

Good idea. Added to my todo list.

 

 

For this there is a SkyProccer called Lootification.

Perhaps a more appropriately useful script would be one that lets you control all alchemy ingredients values from a single GUI, sort of like the reproccer clone I'm working on for Weapons/Armors.

I've been wanting to work on this sort of thing for awhile, messaged Tanin about it awhile ago. I'll see what I can do. I'll have to learn a lot to learn how to hook into MO's API.
