Update AI Faster (MWSE)

Update AI faster

For MWSE

Description & Features

This is a very simple mod that updates how often NPCs and enemies update their behaviors. The vanilla behavior sets an update interval per new loaded actor depending on how many actors are in a scene when the new actor is being loaded, but sometimes it goes wrong and results in enemy characters not reacting to the player for many seconds.

Common example of the problem this mod solves: You walk into a cave, no one seems to take notice, you try to talk to the characters there: "This character is in combat" while they just stand there. 10 or so seconds later, they start hitting you.

With this mod, they will start hitting you after an amount of seconds you choose (tweakable in MCM). A very low number can potentially impact performance (as it updates AI more often), but I have not noticed any problems on my side (and I run with the default value of 1).

Please report bugs or other problems here on the mod page.

Installation, uninstallation and compatibility

Either download and activate in MO2, or if manual install, place the updateAIFaster folder in your "Data Files/MWSE/mods" folder to install. Erase the folder to uninstall. It's a completely safe mod to install and uninstall whenever, and is compatible with everything.

Mort for giving me the idea in the first place, all the usual suspects from the MWSE channel in the Morrowind Modding Community Discord and Lucevar for testing and feedback.
