Description
Get items from ESMs/ESPs at runtime.
See pictures. All are there.
V 1. 12. 042 beta
FO4 v1. 9. 4 + F4SE 0. 4. 2
V 1. 12. 022
F4SE drove me crazy.
V 1. 12. 021
Respawn an item with 10 X initial quantity if you take all of it.
V 1. 11. 020
Removed most of debug info
For AZERTY keyboard, set AZERTY = 1 in INI , it will change fixed hotkey to Shift+W
V 1. 10. 020
Added a new feature:
Search everything
- Search all items in all ESMs/ESPs using a keyword
- Match item's FormID, EDID and name.
- Support old school wildcard characters, and ?
- 20 history search records. Use UP/DOWN to scroll while in the input field.
- Don't worry about speed, the search process is 100% pure C++ code, not stupid Papyrus, very fast.
Mouse : Click magnifier icon. Keyboard/Controller: Press key.
You have to remember the key, current UI has no space to place a button.
General stability and performance improvements. It's true, not Bethesda's bullshit.
Default hotkey is F11 now
Added another fixed hotkey: Shift + Z
Remove old version completely and make a clean save. This update changed a lot.
