📋 About This Mod
About this tool:
SFSE plugin that lets you see and log Faction, MagicEffect, Spell, Perk, Persistence (promoters), Keyword and many other Actor and Object Reference data ingame, all accessible through one console command.
GetReferenceInfo, GetRefInfo:
The console command to access reference information. Select an actor reference or object reference ("Ref") in the Console then type GetReferenceInfo (or GetRefInfo, both valid and do the same). Alternatively, you can type their RefID like 5986. GetRefInfo. (Papyrus callable).
GetReferenceInfo has optional parameters which can be typed after it to return all kinds of special info about Ref.
Valid Optional Paramaters:
By default, GetReferenceInfo only returns "basic data" like source plugin file, 3D coordinates, names, EditorIDs, data flags, Base Forms and so on. To see or log "additional data" like MagicEffect, Perks, Persistence Promoter forms, use of the parameters below.
Parameter examples:
5986. GetRefInfo editorid ( this would return basic data and would show EditorIDs (since the default is to show only FormIDs) )
5986. GetRefInfo keyword ( this would return basic data and Keyword data )
5986. GetRefInfo "keyword editorid" ( this would return basic data, Keyword data and would show EditorIDs )
5986. GetRefInfo "keyword editorid names" ( this would return basic data, Keyword data, would show EditorIDs and names (DisplayNames / FullNames accordingly) )
5986. GetRefInfo "keyword editorid name log" ( (... see above) and instead of displaying the result in the console log, it would create a log file in ..\Starfield\Data\SFSE)
5986. GetRefInfo "keyword editorid name logtofile_MyLogFile" ( (... see above) but the log file would be "MyLogFile.txt" instead of the default logfile name)
5986. GetRefInfo "spells name aliases" ( return Spells, Quest Aliases and would also show names )
5986. GetRefInfo "promoters" ( return the Persistence Promoter forms of the reference; would show only their FormIDs as neither EditorIDs nor names were requested to be shown )
5986. GetRefInfo all ( return all supported reference data; note: logging, names and EditorIDs must be requested anyway; so the "all" flag only means "return all data" )
5986. GetRefInfo "names magiceffects" ( return ActiveMagicEffects (with Duration, Magnitude and Elapsed Time) and show their names too )
5986. GetRefInfo "spells names" ( return the Spells with their names, e.g. (( ('Crew Stealth - Chameleon' )) )
5986. GetRefInfo "log all" ( log everything to a log file )
5986. GetRefInfo "logall"

⚠️ Cons
- Requires SFSE — if you're not already using it, you'll need to set that up first.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SFSE is installed and your game is launched through the SFSE loader, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't load.
- Open the console in-game (usually the tilde key) and try typing 'help' or 'ref' to see available commands — the mod's exact command isn't listed in the description.
- Use the log output to track reference data over time — it's great for spotting issues with modded factions or perks.
