Arctal's VRIK Tweaks

Near Clip Distance

(Fix flickering mountains or clipping hands)

(The NearDistance setting in the VRIK MCM has been fixed as of VRIK 0. 8. 2 and you can now set a good value in there instead)

To counteract a VRIK bug that forces your "fNearDistance" INI setting to 5 on every game launch, this tweak will allow you to configure an override value that will be applied every time you load a save (or when you change it in the MCM). Your override setting here is per-character (not game-wide). Note that VRIK has this "near distance" option too in its MCM but that setting is subject to the VRIK bug and will NOT persist when restarting your game.

What does this setting do? Well, setting it high will reduce Z-fighting (often seen as flickering snow on mountains) but will also cause graphical clipping issues with anything coming very near your face (like your hands or shoulders). Recommend less than 10 if you dont want clipping or more than 12 if you want less flicker.

Default value for this is set to 13 which the community considers the best balance between flicker and clipping. Depending on your environment mods, you may be able to have it lower while still not having flickering issues, which is better (less clipping). Feel free to experiment!

Gesture System

(Minimize the need for the MCM menu during normal play and fix some bugs)

What is the VRIK gesture system?

It allows you to instantly cast or equip spells, powers and shouts by swiping your hand in various directions while holding a dedicated gesture button. It can do a lot of other things as well, but that's its most used aspect and is what i'm focusing on here with my tweaks.

Fixes added:

(These Fixes have been integrated into the VRIK main file as of VRIK 0. 8. 2 and no longer require these Tweaks. Optional changes below still require this mod)

[]Cast and Equip gestures will no longer work for spells you havent learned yet (since they carry over between saves, this was an easy way to cheat).

[]Cast and Equip gestures can no longer fire while you're in a menu. If you have a button you often use in menus as your gesture button, this led to a whole lot of accidental spell activations that would all fire off at once when you closed the menu and resumed time. Note however that if you close the menu with your gesture button, you can still trigger gestures with that (as the gesture will finish in unpaused s
