LE Alchemy Mod Inquiry: recording recipes

[Narratorway]

THE PROBLEM:

 

Vanilla Skyrim's Alchemy interface lists potions all your ingredients are capable of making, but only for ingredients you are currently carrying. This means if you've only 1 ingredient to make a potion, it will list that potion, but have it greyed out and won't list what other ingredients you used to make it in the very likely chance you've forgotten.

 

THE REQUEST:

 

A mod that either...

 

1) Alters the vanilla Alchemy menu to list all the ingredients you've used for listed potions and simply grey out the ingredients you no longer have in your inventory or...

 

2) Provides a blank book that automatically records the ingredients used for every successful potion you make.

 

Or both.

Automatically recording? No.

But you can write them down in take notes.

Guess that makes this a request. Updating topic to match.

Something might be able to be done with GetNthEffectMagicEffect as ingredients are passed into the player's inventory and cross checked with PlayerKnows

The ingredient that has an effect the player knows could be put into an array or formlist setup for that effect. Then that array or formlist could be polled later to get a list of known ingredients with that effect.

 

Someone who understands how to modify the HUD could possibly use that data to show an information panel that lists those ingredients whenever you highlight an effect in the alchemy workstation window.

Lol. Ok now I have to skim through my mods.

 

One of them teaches me the recipe after I read the note, and another only lists out recipes I only have ingredients for.

 

Off the top of my head I think it was Complete Crafting Overhaul.
