~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Requirements:

Address Library

Scrambled Bugs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

v1. 0 - initial release

v1. 01 - split out the ESP since that is just for mod authors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compatibility:

Tested with 1. 5 and 1. 6. 1170 (should be compatible with all AE version as well)

Unknown if compatible with VR

Don't know of any DLL mods that would be incompatible but technically possible.

Only works on spells using the 3 vanilla MGEF archetypes: Summon Actor, Reanimate Actor, and Command Summoned Actor. Effects like bend will are purely script based and do not interact with the summon limit system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How it works:

In vanilla skyrim, whenever you summon/reanimate/command summoned actor, it checks the Mod Commanded Actor perk entry point for the current summon and dispels the oldest commanded actors until its below this limit. However, it only checks based on the current spel. If you condition the mod commanded actor limit entry point, you will end up with inconsistent behavior depending on what order you summon/reanimate which is frustrating and leads to difficulties in gameplay.

This mod seeks to fix that in a way that is relatively simple to use and relies on parsing keywords to create separate pools of summons while keeping the vanilla pool as is.

- The Mod Commanded Actor Limit entry point is unchanged and contributes to the "vanilla pool" which starts at 1 by default.

- All summons/reanimations that don't have a keyword named "MagicSpecialConjuration" can use vanilla pool slots.

- Any keyword that contain "MagicSummon" in the editorID will create a new pool that starts at a limit of 0 (so you need to have a perk that increases that limit). If you include BaseOne somewhere in the editorID as well it will default to a limit of 1.

- Commanded Summoned Actor MGEF's will instead use keywords that contain "MagicCommand"

- When summoning/reanimating, the game will now go through and fill slots starting with the keyword slots and finally the vanilla pool

- The game will preferentially dispel the oldest summon in a keyword defined pool before dispelling a vanilla pool summon, allowing you to have non-overwriting pools of atronach's and undead, for exampl
