📋 About This Mod
OVERVIEW
MCO SKSE plugin remade to work with all Skyrim versions including the latest AE build.
Modern Combat Overhaul's SKSE plugin is used to add "recovery" frames to attack animations, which lets the player exit attacks early via directional inputs on supported movesets. This mod is a remake of that SKSE plugin which allows ADXP and MCO movesets to be fully functional above AE 1. 6. 629.
The original plugin was made by dTry, however he unfortunately never posted the source code and can't find it on his computer anymore, and he's also quite busy at the moment. This mod is a remake based on how distar believes it works. This was done in advance of future developments where we want to expose directional inputs to behaviours properly.
This uses the movement vector before True Directional Movement modifies them. Other mods may be able to modify this, but in such a scenario we probably want to recover quickly anyway.
REQUIREMENTS
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
VR Address Library for SKSEVR
COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with all game versions, although VR is untested and probably useless.

dTry for the original mod as well as his other plugins I could learn from. He can do whatever he wants with the source code here.
distar for information and testing.
Ersh for his Dodge Framework source code.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust with 10,841 endorsements and 1.7 million downloads
- Essential for anyone on AE who wants to use MCO's combat animations
- Regularly updated as of February 2023, so it's likely compatible with current AE patches
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MCO (Modern Combat Overhaul) as a base mod, so it's not standalone
- Last updated in February 2023, so future Skyrim updates might break compatibility
For Skyrim players who use MCO and have upgraded to the latest AE version. If you're on an older version, you might not need this, but it's a must-have for AE users who want MCO's combat overhaul. Skip if you don't use MCO at all.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MCO installed first, as this plugin only extends its compatibility.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the SKSE plugin installation correctly.
- Check that your Skyrim version matches the AE build this mod supports; if you're on an older version, you might not need it.
