Game Settings Override

SKSE plugin that allows users to modify game settings via configuration files.

Introduction

Traditionally, people have to edit ESP in CK/xEdit to change game settings. I don't want to introduce an ESP just to modify a few simple game settings. So I create this.

This SKSE plugin allow you to edit game settings via configuration files. The configuration files are TOML format. TOML is adopted by SSE Engine Fixes, so perhaps you are already familiar with it. In general, TOML similar to INI, but has better data type support.

Requirements

• []Address Library for SKSE Plugins

  []SKSE

  []Mod Function Menu (optional, if you want to reload config files without restarting game)

  Tutorial

  • []The configuration files are at Data/SKSE/Plugins/ccld_GameSettingsOverride/.

    []This plugin will scan all TOML files (with extension .toml, .toml must be lower case) in that folder and load game settings from them.

    []Each TOML file contains settings with key = value form, while the key is the same as EditorID in ESP. See mod images.

    []Support bool, int, float and string. Data types are auto-detected.

    []Don't forget to check logs!

    []Feel free to upload your GSO config files to Nexusmods!

    Examples

    # This is comment.

    fActiveEffectConditionUpdateInterval = 1. 000000

    iActivatePickLength = 150

    sAccept = "Accept"  # String should be quoted.

    For more examples, see optional files. I remake some mods using GSO.

    Reload Config Files (New in v2. 0. 0)

    Since v2. 0. 0, GSO have the ability to reload config files. It's useful if you don't want to restart game after tweak settings.

    • []Switch to out of game window, this can be done by pressing Alt + Tab

      []Edit config files

      []Switch back to game, open Mod Function Menu, click the Config tab, then click Game Settings Override

      []Check message box, if no errors or warnings, everything is ok.

      []Done!
    Note: I am not sure whether or not all reloaded game settings can take effect immediately. I tested to edit "GSO - No Fall Damage", it does take effect immediately. If you have problems, try restarting game.
