📋 About This Mod
Mod I made for myself while learning about SKSE plugin development. Disables stamina consumption for the player (and their mount) when not in combat. Compatible with SE and AE 1. 6. 629+ thanks to CommonLibSSE-NG (Tested with versions 1. 5. 97, 1. 6. 353 and 1. 6. 640).
Compatibility
-
[]Should be compatible with any mod that damages stamina as long as they use regular methods instead of some funky shit. This plugin hooks into the native function for damaging actor values (or at least I think that's what it does) and when it tries to damage the player's or their mount's stamina, it sets the damage value to 0 if they're not in combat. I've successfully used it with TK Dodge RE, Valhalla Combat and Fenix Stamina Overhaul.
[
]Incompatible with other SKSE plugins that hook into the same function. Currently looking into a fix. (Known mods that do this are Felisky384's Floating Damage and Locational Damage)
Installation/Uninstallation
Like any other SKSE plugin. Use your mod manager of choice.
