- about FormID Finder
- Are you tired of staring at a big yellow exclamation mark, and not knowing where it came from? Perhaps, you are just curious which mod decided to place that sink in your house. Perhaps, that spell you have is a bit overpowered, but you don’t know where it came from.
- Well, FormID Finder fixes all of these things.
- FormID Finder has been revamped from the ground up to be the most convenient solution to date. No longer must you play with spells, FormID Finder is triggered by simply pressing the Alt button and right clicking on the objects in question. What objects you ask, good question.
- In the world, you can point at anything and press Alt-Right Click, and you will get a scroll describing the object. If the object is an NPC/Creature with equipped inventory, the scroll will also document the information for the equipped inventory. Finally, the object’s location in the world will also be identified for follow up with mod makers if need be.
- If the object or any of the equipped items have missing meshes or Icons, that will also be documented in the scroll.
- If you press Shift-Right Click, the system will report out on your player character. You will see inventory, factions, and location.
- In your inventory, you can Alt-Right Click on any object and you will get the scroll of information you seek. This will also work on quest items (a highly requested enhancement.)
- In your spell menu, you can Alt-Right Click on any spell and get the name of the mod that placed that spell in your spell menu.
- In a Spell Purchase menu, you can now press Alt Right Click on any spell and get the name of the mod that placed that spell in the vendor’s inventory.
- In any container, you can press Alt-Right Click on any object and get a scroll of the information about that object.
- In any barter menu, you can press Alt-Right Click on any object and get a scroll of the information about that object.
- In the world map, you can press Alt-Right Click and get a scroll of the mod that placed that marker on your map!
- Finally, sometimes, objects cannot be selected in the game world. If this happens, enter the console, click on the object in question, and press Alt-Right Click. You will get the message about the object in the console. Once you exit the console, details of the last item checked will show up in the scroll.
- As an added benefit, if you press Alt-Right Click on a book or parchment in a container or a barter menu, the Text is transferred to the document. However, I have removed the “Take” option so you can’t steal the book. I have also removed any skill taught from that book in this option. My thought being that you are only perusing the book before purch
