LE Favorites Redux

[nexus1g]

Background:

When it comes to dual wielding, the favorites menu is obnoxious and buggy. This mod would aim to correct it by reworking how favorites work. I'm unsure if it's technically feasible even if using a script extender, but the concept is sound and has worked very well in other games.

 

Basic Overview:

-When the appropriate user assigned hotkey is pressed, the script will capture what you have currently equipped in your hands (if anything) and which hand the items are in.

-A dialogue asks for the loadout to be named (the user may name their loadout whatever they wish at this time).

-An additional hotkey will load a menu screen that displays all current saved loadouts.

-From the "Loadout" menu, a player will be able to assign hotkeys to the various loadouts or delete loadouts.

-When the user assigned hotkey for a specific loadout is pressed, it will manually equip each weapon to the specific hand as it was when you saved the loadout.

 

Additional Possibilities:

-Armor loadouts

-Potion loadouts that will quaff multiple predefined potions in one keypress.

-Two separate hotkeys for left and right hand equipping (or a modifier key to equip a weapon in the left hand) allowing for more flexibility in using saved loadouts without requiring lots of different loadouts for all combinations of possibilities.

 

This is something that I intend to personally work on, but since I have quite literally no modding experience, I honestly don't believe it would ever come to fruition in a timely manner.

 

I've included a poll to ask whether or not those who view this thread believe this is a good idea or not. The feedback helps me, and potential modders, get a sense of the perceived usefulness of the project.

I'm not voting in your poll because I never use weapons ^^; But I was wondering if you had looked at the categorized favorites menu ( http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4862 ) and the equip sets, and if your idea is different from that. I'm not sure how the equip sets from CFM work with two weapons in them.

I can't get the mod to work properly (hotkeys for equipment sets weren't working and dual wielding still posed a problem), but that is very much what I had in mind.
