powerofthree's Tweaks Mod

Collection of engine bug fixes and tweaks. SKSE plugin.

Description

A collection of bug fixes and tweaks not covered by other plugins.

Fixes are bugfixes or other game improvements.

Tweaks are optional gameplay or immersion features.

Experimental options are untested, and may possibly cause unforeseen side-effects. Only enable this if you know what you're doing.

Each of these settings can be configured in po3_Tweaks.ini (in Data/SKSE/Plugins). Config file will auto regenerate if missing and new settings will be appended to the file with future updates.

Fixes (default : enabled)

1. Distant Ref Load Crash
2. Fixes loading crash caused by missing 3D on distant references. This may be caused by mods such as Windhelm Bridge Tweaks.
3. Map Marker Placement
4. Allows placing map markers near fast travel destinations when fast travel is disabled.
5. Enable 'Can't Be Taken Book' Flag
6. Restores 'Can't be taken' book flag functionality. Books can be read but not taken into inventory, if this flag is enabled in book records.

8. Adjusts range of projectile fired while moving to maintain consistent lifetime. This is a working implementation of the LE fix found here.

14. No-death-dispel flagged spells are reapplied on dead NPCs upon loading.

19. No Conjuration Spell Absorb
20. Adds NoAbsorb flag to all conjuration spells missing this flag.

Experimental (default : disabled)

3. Fast GetRandomFloat()
4. Speeds up Utility.GetRandomFloat function calls by decoupling it from framerate.
5. Clean Orphaned ActiveEffects
6. Removes orphaned active effects from NPCs that had ability perks but lost them (eg. SPID didn't distribute perks to NPCs this run)
7. Update GameHour Timers
8. Updates game timers (eg. potion duration) when advancing time using GameHour.SetValue papyrus function
9. Stack Dump Timeout Modifier
10. How many seconds before Papyrus will start dumping script stacks (vanilla : 30 seconds). Setting this to 0 will disable the timeout (warning: this may result in a locked state if Skyrim can't dump stacks).

For SKSE Plugin developers

The TESForm `GetFormEditorID` virtual function is unchanged, and still returns an empty string (for forms that normally discard editorIDs).

This is because the function is called in several places that would risk a buffer overflow (eg. when naming ArmorAddon ninodes).

powerofthree's Tweaks provides an alternative method to get a form's editorID, using the exported function "GetFormEditorID".

Example of how to use this in your plugin
